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

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: aloop: Fix racy access at PCM trigger

2026-02-03T14:22:21+00:00

The PCM trigger callback of aloop driver tries to check the PCM state and stop the stream of the tied substream in the corresponding cable. Since both check and stop operations are performed outside the cable lock, this may result in UAF when a program attempts to trigger frequently while opening/closing the tied stream, as spotted by fuzzers. For addressing the UAF, this patch changes two things: - It covers the most of code in loopback_check_format() with cable->lock spinlock, and add the proper NULL checks. This avoids already some racy accesses. - In addition, now we try to check the state of the capture PCM stream that may be stopped in this function, which was the major pain point leading to UAF.

ALSA: opl4: 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.

ALSA: opl3: 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: pcmtest: Replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy_pad in setup_patt_bufs

2025-11-19T16:16:49+00:00

strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. Replace it with the safer strscpy_pad(), and use kmalloc() instead of kzalloc() because strscpy_pad() zero-pads the destination buffer and therefore avoids writing to it twice.
