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

2025-07-11T07:53:35+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/20250710100727.22653-92-tiwai@suse.de

ALSA: Switch to use hrtimer_setup()

2025-02-10T08:26:31+00:00

hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and initializes the timer completely. Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism. Patch was created by using Coccinelle.

ALSA: sh: Fix wrong argument order for copy_from_iter()

2024-12-20T11:45:38+00:00

Fix a brown paper bag bug I introduced at converting to the standard iter helper; the arguments were wrongly passed and have to be swapped.

ALSA: sh: Use standard helper for buffer accesses

2024-11-29T13:59:58+00:00

The SH DAC audio driver uses the kmalloc'ed buffer as the main PCM buffer, and the data is transferred via hrtimer callbacks manually from there to the hardware. Meanwhile, some of its code are written as if the buffer is on iomem and use the special helpers for the iomem (e.g. copy_from_iter_toio() or memset_io()). Those are rather useless and the standard helpers should be used. Similarly, the PCM mmap callback is set to a special one with snd_pcm_lib_mmap_iomem, but this is also nonsense, because SH architecture doesn't support this function, hence it leads just to NULL -- the fallback to the standard helper. This patch replaces those special setups with the standard ones.

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: sh: Use standard print API

ALSA: sh: Convert to generic PCM copy ops

ALSA: sh_dac_audio: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-03-20T13:07:08+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.
