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

Revert "nfc/nci: Add the inconsistency check between the input data length and count"

2026-01-18T02:02:50+00:00

This reverts commit 068648aab72c9ba7b0597354ef4d81ffaac7b979. NFC packets may have NUL-bytes. Checking for string length is not a correct assumption here. As long as there is a check for the length copied from copy_from_user, all should be fine. The fix only prevented the syzbot reproducer from triggering the bug because the packet is not enqueued anymore and the code that triggers the bug is not exercised. The fix even broke testing/selftests/nci/nci_dev, making all tests there fail. After the revert, 6 out of 8 tests pass.

nfc/nci: Add the inconsistency check between the input data length and count

2024-05-29T12:08:31+00:00

write$nci(r0, &(0x7f0000000740)=ANY=[@ANYBLOB="610501"], 0xf) Syzbot constructed a write() call with a data length of 3 bytes but a count value of 15, which passed too little data to meet the basic requirements of the function nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf_packet(). Therefore, increasing the comparison between data length and count value to avoid problems caused by inconsistent data length and count.

NFC: nci: Allow to create multiple virtual nci devices

2022-11-17T12:48:01+00:00

The current virtual nci driver is great for testing and fuzzing. But it allows to create at most one "global" device which does not allow to run parallel tests and harms fuzzing isolation and reproducibility. Restructure the driver to allow creation of multiple independent devices. This should be backwards compatible for existing tests.
