Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

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 *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

ALSA: seq: Use safer strscpy() instead of strcpy()

2025-07-11T07:51:08+00:00

Use a safer function strscpy() instead of strcpy() for copying to arrays. Only idiomatic code replacement, and no functional changes. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250710100727.22653-4-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: seq: Allow system notification in atomic

2025-01-12T12:12:21+00:00

Currently the system notification helper assumes only the non-atomic delivery. For allowing an event delivery in non-atomic context, add the atomic flag to the helper function. This is a preliminary change for the support of UMP EP/FB notification. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250110155943.31578-8-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: seq: Skip notifications unless subscribed to announce port

2024-12-02T09:25:31+00:00

The notification via system announce port isn't a lightweight task, hence it'd be better to skip if there is no subscription is done for the announce port. Implement a simple counter for checking that by hooking the subscribe and unsubscribe callbacks. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241128074801.32253-1-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: ump: Notify port changes to system port

2023-06-12T16:22:32+00:00

For allowing applications to track the FB active changes, this patch adds the notification from the system port at each time a FB change is handled and the active flag or re-grouping happens. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230612081054.17200-8-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: Do error checks at creating system ports

2018-08-28T10:52:02+00:00

snd_seq_system_client_init() doesn't check the errors returned from its port creations. Let's do it properly and handle the error paths. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: seq: add error check in snd_seq_system_client_init()

Static checkers complain that snd_seq_create_kernel_client() can return -EBUSY here so we need to have some error handling. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

sound: Add export.h for THIS_MODULE/EXPORT_SYMBOL where needed

2011-10-31T23:31:22+00:00

These aren't modules, but they do make use of these macros, so they will need export.h to get that definition. Previously, they got it via the implicit module.h inclusion. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
