treewide: Convert del_timer() to timer_shutdown()

2022-12-25T21:38:09+00:00

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added called "shutdown". After a timer is set to this state, then it can no longer be re-armed. The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the object holding the timer is freed. It also ignores any locations where the timer->function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(), as that is not considered a "trivial" case. This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following commands: $ cat timer.cocci @@ expression ptr, slab; identifier timer, rfield; @@ ( - del_timer(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown(&ptr->timer); | - del_timer_sync(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown_sync(&ptr->timer); ) ... when strict when != ptr->timer ( kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield); | kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr); | kfree(ptr); ) $ spatch timer.cocci . > /tmp/t.patch $ patch -p1 < /tmp/t.patch Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221123201306.823305113@linutronix.de/ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Acked-by: Pavel Machek [ LED ] Acked-by: Kalle Valo [ wireless ] Acked-by: Paolo Abeni [ networking ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

wifi: hostap: Avoid clashing function prototypes

2022-11-16T09:31:47+00:00

When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1]. Fix a total of 42 warnings like these: ../drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_ioctl.c:3868:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, char *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict] (iw_handler) prism2_get_name, /* SIOCGIWNAME */ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The hostap Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a union for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit member selection in the function body instead of having a function prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences before/after changes. These changes were made partly manually and partly with the help of Coccinelle. Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/235 Link: https://reviews.llvm.org/D134831 [1] Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.

wifi: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

intersil: Use struct_group() for memcpy() region

2021-11-29T10:45:17+00:00

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields. Use struct_group() in struct hfa384x_tx_frame around members frame_control, duration_id, addr1, addr2, addr3, and seq_ctrl, so they can be referenced together. This will allow memcpy() and sizeof() to more easily reason about sizes, improve readability, and avoid future warnings about writing beyond the end of frame_control. "pahole" shows no size nor member offset changes to struct hfa384x_tx_frame. "objdump -d" shows no object code changes.

hostap: use eth_hw_addr_set()

2021-10-20T09:39:46+00:00

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

hostap: use ndo_siocdevprivate

hostap has a combination of iwpriv ioctls that do not work at all, and two SIOCDEVPRIVATE commands that work natively but lack a compat conversion handler. For the moment, move them over to the new ndo_siocdevprivate interface and return an error for compat mode. Cc: Jouni Malinen Cc: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David S.

proc: mandate ->proc_lseek in "struct proc_ops"

2021-05-07T02:24:11+00:00

Now that proc_ops are separate from file_operations and other operations it easy to check all instances to have ->proc_lseek hook and remove check in main code. Note: nonseekable_open() files naturally don't require ->proc_lseek. Garbage collect pde_lseek() function.
