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: mips: Use safer strscpy() instead of strcpy()

2025-07-11T07:53:16+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/20250710100727.22653-40-tiwai@suse.de

sound: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-30T13:47:59+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below sound to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer. On the way do a few whitespace changes to make indention consistent.

ALSA: mips/hal2: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-03-20T13:07:04+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

hal2: convert to dma_alloc_noncoherent

2020-09-25T04:20:44+00:00

Use the new non-coherent DMA API including proper ownership transfers. This also means we can allocate the buffer memory with the proper direction instead of bidirectional. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Tested-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

ALSA: mips: Constify snd_device_ops definitions

2020-01-03T08:24:02+00:00

Now we may declare const for snd_device_ops definitions, so let's do it for optimization. There should be no functional changes by this patch. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200103081714.9560-13-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: mips: Drop superfluous ioctl PCM ops

2019-12-11T06:25:28+00:00

PCM core deals the empty ioctl field now as default(*). Let's kill the redundant lines. (*) commit fc033cbf6fb7 ("ALSA: pcm: Allow NULL ioctl ops") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191210061145.24641-9-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: mips: Use managed buffer allocation

Clean up the drivers with the new managed buffer allocation API. The hw_params and hw_free callbacks became superfluous and got dropped. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191209094943.14984-18-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: mips: Remove superfluous snd_dma_continuous_data()

2019-11-06T14:47:41+00:00

The recent change (commit 08422d2c559d: "ALSA: memalloc: Allow NULL device for SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS type") made the PCM preallocation helper accepting NULL as the device pointer for the default usage. Drop the snd_dma_continuous_data() usage that became superfluous from the callers. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191105151856.10785-3-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai
