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 *".

HID: roccat: make all 'class' structures const

2023-08-05T06:31:41+00:00

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, making all 'class' structures to be declared at build time
placing them into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.

HID: roccat: Fix use-after-free in roccat_read()

2022-09-20T12:49:15+00:00

roccat_report_event() is responsible for registering
roccat-related reports in struct roccat_device.

int roccat_report_event(int minor, u8 const *data)
{
	struct roccat_device *device;
	struct roccat_reader *reader;
	struct roccat_report *report;
	uint8_t *new_value;

	device = devices[minor];

	new_value = kmemdup(data, device->report_size, GFP_ATOMIC);
	if (!new_value)
		return -ENOMEM;

	report = &device->cbuf[device->cbuf_end];

	/* passing NULL is safe */
	kfree(report->value);
	...

The registered report is stored in the struct roccat_device member
"struct roccat_report cbuf[ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE];".
If more reports are received than the "ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE" value,
kfree() the saved report from cbuf[0] and allocates a new reprot.
Since there is no lock when this kfree() is performed,
kfree() can be performed even while reading the saved report.

static ssize_t roccat_read(struct file *file, char __user *buffer,
		size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
	struct roccat_reader *reader = file->private_data;
	struct roccat_device *device = reader->device;
	struct roccat_report *report;
	ssize_t retval = 0, len;
	DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current);

	mutex_lock(&device->cbuf_lock);

	...

	report = &device->cbuf[reader->cbuf_start];
	/*
	 * If report is larger than requested amount of data, rest of report
	 * is lost!
	 */
	len = device->report_size > count ? count : device->report_size;

	if (copy_to_user(buffer, report->value, len)) {
		retval = -EFAULT;
		goto exit_unlock;
	}
	...

The roccat_read() function receives the device->cbuf report and
delivers it to the user through copy_to_user().
If the N+ROCCAT_CBUF_SIZE th report is received while copying of
the Nth report->value is in progress, the pointer that copy_to_user()
is working on is kfree()ed and UAF read may occur. (race condition)

Since the device node of this driver does not set separate permissions,
this is not a security vulnerability, but because it is used for
requesting screen display of profile or dpi settings,
a user using the roccat device can apply udev to this device node or
There is a possibility to use it by giving.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

HID: roccat: silence an uninitialized variable warning

2016-04-04T07:49:12+00:00

My static checker complains because we use "dev_id" before we check for
errors so it could be uninitialized.  Fix this by moving the error
handling forward a couple lines.
