Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

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: Relax __free() variable declarations

2025-12-17T09:08:30+00:00

We used to have a variable declaration with __free() initialized with NULL. This was to keep the old coding style rule, but recently it's relaxed and rather recommends to follow the new rule to declare in place of use for __free() -- which avoids potential deadlocks or UAFs with nested cleanups. Although the current code has no bug, per se, let's follow the new standard and move the declaration to the place of assignment (or directly assign the allocated result) instead of NULL initializations. Note that there is a remaining __free() with NULL initialization; it's because of the non-trivial code conditionally assigning the data.

ALSA: seq: oss: Convert to snd_seq bus probe mechanism

2025-12-14T10:08:09+00:00

The snd_seq bus got a dedicated probe function. Make use of that. This fixes a runtime warning about the driver needing to be converted to the bus probe method. Note that the remove callback returns void now. The actual return value was ignored before (see device_remove() in drivers/base/dd.c), so there is no problem introduced by converting `return -EINVAL` to `return`.

ALSA: seq: Fix KCSAN data-race warning at snd_seq_fifo_poll_wait()

2025-09-17T12:14:12+00:00

snd_seq_fifo_poll_wait() evaluates f->cells without locking after poll_wait(), and KCSAN doesn't like it as it appears to be a data-race. Although this doesn't matter much in practice as the value is volatile, it's still better to address it for the mind piece. Wrap it with f->lock spinlock for avoiding the potential data race.
