  • module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
    fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
    trick.

    It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
    it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

  • Change the core code where sparse complains. In most cases, this means
    just adding annotations to confirm that we indeed want to do the dirty
    things we're doing.

  • If CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS is used, assign /dev/snd/seq and
    /dev/snd/timer the usual static minors, and export specific
    module aliases to generate udev module on-demand loading
    instructions:

    $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.33.4-smp/modules.devname
    # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
    microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
    fuse fuse c10:229
    ppp_generic ppp c108:0
    tun net/tun c10:200
    uinput uinput c10:223
    dm_mod mapper/control c10:236
    snd_timer snd/timer c116:33
    snd_seq snd/seq c116:1

    The last two lines instruct udev to create device nodes, even
    when the modules are not loaded at that time.

    As soon as userspace accesses any of these nodes, the in-kernel
    module-loader will load the module, and the device can be used.

    The header file minor calculation needed to be simplified to
    make __stringify() (supports only two indirections) in
    the MODULE_ALIAS macro work.

    This is part of systemd's effort to get rid of unconditional
    module load instructions and needless init scripts.

  • All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
    nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
    .llseek pointer.

    The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
    and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
    the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
    the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

    New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
    and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
    to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
    relies on calling seek on the device file.

    The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
    comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
    chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
    be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
    seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

    Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
    the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

    Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
    patch that does all this.

  • The error handling in snd_seq_oss_open() has several bad codes that
    do dereferecing released pointers and double-free of kmalloc'ed data.
    The object dp is release in free_devinfo() that is called via
    private_free callback. The rest shouldn't touch this object any more.

    The patch changes delete_port() to call kfree() in any case, and gets
    rid of unnecessary calls of destructors in snd_seq_oss_open().

    Fixes CVE-2010-3080.

  • Set no_llseek to llseek file ops of each sound component (but for hwdep).
    This avoids the implicit BKL invocation via generic_file_llseek() used
    as default when fops.llseek is NULL.

    Also call nonseekable_open() at each open ops to ensure the file flags
    have no seek bit.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • When build SND_SEQUENCER in kernel then OSS sequencer(alsa_seq_oss_init)
    is initialized before System (snd_seq_system_client_init) which leads to
    memory leak :

    The correct order should be :

    System (snd_seq_system_client_init) should be initialized before
    OSS sequencer(alsa_seq_oss_init) which is equivalent to :

    1. insmod sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.ko
    2. insmod sound/core/seq/snd-seq.ko
    3. insmod sound/core/seq/snd-seq-midi-event.ko
    4. insmod sound/core/seq/oss/snd-seq-oss.ko

    Including sound/core/seq/oss/Makefile after other seq modules
    fixes the ordering and memory leak.
