<content type='text'>
usbip_pad_iso() repositions ISO frame data within the transfer buffer
via memmove().  Neither the source offset (actualoffset, derived by
subtracting wire-supplied actual_length values) nor the destination
offset (iso_frame_desc[i].offset, taken directly from the wire) is
bounds-checked.

If a crafted actual_length wraps actualoffset negative through the
subtraction (see patch 2/3 for the root cause), the memmove source
points before the allocation - slab OOB read, data returned to
userspace.

Independently, iso_frame_desc[i].offset is never validated against
transfer_buffer_length.  Setting offset past the end of the buffer
gives a fully controlled OOB write into whatever sits next in the
slab - confirmed with offset=400 on a 392-byte buffer, 64-byte write.

Add bounds checks for both the source and destination ranges before
each memmove call.  Use unsigned comparisons after the sign check on
actualoffset to avoid signed/unsigned conversion surprises.

<title>usb: usbip: validate iso frame actual_length in usbip_recv_iso()</title>

<content type='text'>
usbip_recv_iso() sums each frame's actual_length into an int
accumulator without checking the individual values first:

    total_length += urb-&gt;iso_frame_desc[i].actual_length;

A malicious server can send actual_length = 0xFFFFFFFC for one frame
and a small value for the other, making the signed sum wrap around to
match urb-&gt;actual_length.  The sanity check passes, and usbip_pad_iso()
later computes a negative actualoffset, feeding it to memmove() as a
source pointer - reads before the allocation, leaked to userspace via
USBDEVFS_REAPURB.

Reject any frame whose actual_length exceeds transfer_buffer_length
(one frame can't carry more data than the whole buffer), and widen the
accumulator to u32 so that many moderately-large frames can't wrap it
either.

<title>usb: usbip: fix integer overflow in usbip_recv_iso()</title>

<content type='text'>
usbip_recv_iso() computes the iso descriptor buffer size as:

    int size = np * sizeof(*iso);

where np comes straight from the wire (urb-&gt;number_of_packets, set by
usbip_pack_ret_submit() before we get here).  With np = 0x10000001 and
sizeof(*iso) == 16 the product is 0x100000010 which truncates to 16 on
a 32-bit int.  kzalloc(16) succeeds but the following receive loop
writes np * 16 bytes into it - game over.

USBIP_MAX_ISO_PACKETS (1024) already exists in usbip_common.h for the
submit path but was never enforced on the receive side.

Clamp np to [1, USBIP_MAX_ISO_PACKETS] and switch to kcalloc() so
the allocator itself can catch overflows in the future.  Fold the
existing np == 0 early return into the new bounds check.

usbip_pack_ret_submit() already copied the bogus np into
urb-&gt;number_of_packets before we run, so just returning -EPROTO is
not enough - processcompl() in the HCD will still iterate that many
iso_frame_desc entries when it completes the failed URB.  Zero out
urb-&gt;number_of_packets before bailing to prevent that secondary crash
(confirmed on 6.12.0, processcompl+0x63 with CR2 in unmapped slab).

Driver core holds a reference to the USB device while it is bound to a
driver and there is no need to take additional references unless the
structure is needed after disconnect.

Drop the redundant device reference to reduce cargo culting, make it
easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is needed, and reduce
the risk of memory leaks when drivers fail to release it.

arrays.

Only idiomatic code replacement, and no functional changes.

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<content type='text'>
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 *".
