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: line6: Use safer strscpy() instead of strcpy()

ALSA: line6: correct midi status byte when receiving data from podxt

2022-12-26T08:06:19+00:00

A PODxt device sends 0xb2, 0xc2 or 0xf2 as a status byte for MIDI messages over USB that should otherwise have a 0xb0, 0xc0 or 0xf0 status byte. This is usually corrected by the driver on other OSes. This fixes MIDI sysex messages sent by PODxt.

ALSA: line6: Use correct endpoint type for midi output

2018-04-12T06:42:07+00:00

Sending MIDI messages to a PODxt through the USB connection shows "usb_submit_urb failed" in dmesg and the message is not received by the POD. The error is caused because in the funcion send_midi_async() in midi.c there is a call to usb_sndbulkpipe() for endpoint 3 OUT, but the PODxt USB descriptor shows that this endpoint it's an interrupt endpoint. Patch tested with PODxt only.

ALSA: line6: Add yet more sanity checks for invalid EPs

There are a few other places calling usb_submit_urb() with the URB composed from the fixed endpoint without validation. For avoiding the spurious kernel warnings, add the sanity checks to appropriate places. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai
