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

netdevsim: Add trailing zero to terminate the string in nsim_nexthop_bucket_activity_write()

2024-10-29T18:43:01+00:00

This was found by a static analyzer. We should not forget the trailing zero after copy_from_user() if we will further do some string operations, sscanf() in this case. Adding a trailing zero will ensure that the function performs properly.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

netdevsim: fib: Add debugfs knob to simulate route deletion failure

2022-07-29T11:21:02+00:00

The previous patch ("netdevsim: fib: Fix reference count leak on route deletion failure") fixed a reference count leak that happens on route deletion failure. Such failures can only be simulated by injecting slab allocation failures, which cannot be surgically injected. In order to be able to specifically test this scenario, add a debugfs knob that allows user space to fail route deletion requests when enabled.

netdevsim: fib: Fix reference count leak on route deletion failure

2022-07-29T11:21:02+00:00

As part of FIB offload simulation, netdevsim stores IPv4 and IPv6 routes and holds a reference on FIB info structures that in turn hold a reference on the associated nexthop device(s). In the unlikely case where we are unable to allocate memory to process a route deletion request, netdevsim will not release the reference from the associated FIB info structure, thereby preventing the associated nexthop device(s) from ever being removed [1]. Fix this by scheduling a work item that will flush netdevsim's FIB table upon route deletion failure. This will cause netdevsim to release its reference from all the FIB info structures in its table.

netdevsim: convert driver to use unlocked devlink API during init/fini

2022-07-19T03:10:48+00:00

Prepare for devlink reload being called with devlink->lock held and convert the netdevsim driver to use unlocked devlink API during init and fini flows. Take devl_lock() in reload_down() and reload_up() ops in the meantime before reload cmd is converted to take the lock itself. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

netdevsim: Use dscp_t in struct nsim_fib4_rt

2022-04-12T00:37:58+00:00

Use the new dscp_t type to replace the tos field of struct nsim_fib4_rt. This ensures ECN bits are ignored and makes it compatible with the dscp fields of struct fib_entry_notifier_info and struct fib_rt_info. This also allows sparse to flag potential incorrect uses of DSCP and ECN bits. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
