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: wavefront: Fix integer overflow in sample size validation

2025-11-06T10:03:28+00:00

The wavefront_send_sample() function has an integer overflow issue when validating sample size. The header->size field is u32 but gets cast to int for comparison with dev->freemem Fix by using unsigned comparison to avoid integer overflow.

ALSA: wavefront: Use guard() for spin locks

Clean up the code using guard() for spin locks. Merely code refactoring, and no behavior change. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250829145300.5460-19-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: wavefront: Use standard print API

2024-08-08T05:49:46+00:00

Use the standard print API with dev_*() instead of the old house-baked one. It gives better information and allows dynamically control of debug prints. Reviewed-by: Jaroslav Kysela Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240807133452.9424-36-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: wavefront: remove redundant assignment to pointer end

2022-07-04T12:29:27+00:00

Pointer end is being re-assigned the same value as it was initialized with in the previous statement. The re-assignment is redundant and can be removed.

ALSA: wavefront: Proper check of get_user() error

2022-05-10T14:26:45+00:00

The antient ISA wavefront driver reads its sample patch data (uploaded over an ioctl) via __get_user() with no good reason; likely just for some performance optimizations in the past. Let's change this to the standard get_user() and the error check for handling the fault case properly.

ALSA: wavefront: Fix assignment in if condition

2021-06-09T15:29:42+00:00

ISA WaveFront driver code contains lots of assignments in if condition, which is a bad coding style that may confuse readers and occasionally lead to bugs. This patch is merely for coding-style fixes, no functional changes. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210608140540.17885-7-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: isa/wavefront: prevent out of bounds write in ioctl
