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

macsec: fix memcpy with u64_stats

2026-01-25T21:14:11+00:00

On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides no help against load/store tearing. memcpy() should not be considered atomic against u64 values. Use u64_stats_copy() instead.

macsec: read MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN with nla_get_uint

2025-09-01T20:31:33+00:00

The code currently reads both U32 attributes and U64 attributes as U64, so when a U32 attribute is provided by userspace (ie, when not using XPN), on big endian systems, we'll load that value into the upper 32bits of the next_pn field instead of the lower 32bits. This means that the value that userspace provided is ignored (we only care about the lower 32bits for non-XPN), and we'll start using PNs from 0. Switch to nla_get_uint, which will read the value correctly on all arches, whether it's 32b or 64b.
