<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

We can simplify the code gracefully with new guard() macro and co for
automatic cleanup of locks.

Only the code refactoring, and no functional changes.

Both snd_seq_prioq_remove_events() and snd_seq_prioq_leave() have a
very similar loop for removing events.  Unify them with a callback for
code simplification.

Only the code refactoring, and no functional changes.

<title>ALSA: seq: Fix possible UAF in snd_seq_check_queue()</title>
<updated>2018-03-10T16:29:49+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:d0f833065221cbfcbadf19fd4102bcfa9330006a</id>
<content type='text'>
Although we've covered the races between concurrent write() and
ioctl() in the previous patch series, there is still a possible UAF in
the following scenario:

A: user client closed		B: timer irq
  -&gt; snd_seq_release()		  -&gt; snd_seq_timer_interrupt()
    -&gt; snd_seq_free_client()	    -&gt; snd_seq_check_queue()
				      -&gt; cell = snd_seq_prioq_cell_peek()
      -&gt; snd_seq_prioq_leave()
         .... removing all cells
      -&gt; snd_seq_pool_done()
         .... vfree()
				      -&gt; snd_seq_compare_tick_time(cell)
				         ... Oops

So the problem is that a cell is peeked and accessed without any
protection until it's retrieved from the queue again via
snd_seq_prioq_cell_out().

This patch tries to address it, also cleans up the code by a slight
refactoring.  snd_seq_prioq_cell_out() now receives an extra pointer
argument.  When it's non-NULL, the function checks the event timestamp
with the given pointer.  The caller needs to pass the right reference
either to snd_seq_tick or snd_seq_realtime depending on the event
timestamp type.

A good news is that the above change allows us to remove the
snd_seq_prioq_cell_peek(), too, thus the patch actually reduces the
code size.

The kernel memory allocators already report the errors when the
requested allocation fails, thus we don't need to warn it again in
each caller side.
