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

scsi: target: tcmu: Constify some structures

2024-11-21T02:55:24+00:00

'struct nla_policy' and 'struct match_table_t' are not modified in this driver. Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers, which is the case of struct nla_policy.

genetlink: hold RCU in genlmsg_mcast()

2024-10-16T00:52:58+00:00

While running net selftests with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y I saw one lockdep splat [1]. genlmsg_mcast() uses for_each_net_rcu(), and must therefore hold RCU. Instead of letting all callers guard genlmsg_multicast_allns() with a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair, do it in genlmsg_mcast(). This also means the @flags parameter is useless, we need to always use GFP_ATOMIC.

scsi: target: tcmu: Annotate struct tcmu_tmr with __counted_by

2023-09-27T15:28:48+00:00

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). As found with Coccinelle[1], add __counted_by for struct tcmu_tmr. [1] https://github.com/kees/kernel-tools/blob/trunk/coccinelle/examples/counted_by.cocci Cc: Bodo Stroesser Cc: "Martin K.

scsi: target: tcmu: Replace strlcpy() with strscpy()

2023-06-22T01:13:00+00:00

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
