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

afs: Use the per-peer app data provided by rxrpc

2025-03-10T09:47:15+00:00

Make use of the per-peer application data that rxrpc now allows the application to store on the rxrpc_peer struct to hold a back pointer to the afs_server record that peer represents an endpoint for. Then, when a call comes in to the AFS cache manager, this can be used to map it to the correct server record rather than having to use a UUID-to-server mapping table and having to do an additional lookup.

rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objects

2023-12-24T15:22:50+00:00

Change rxrpc's API such that: (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function, rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again. (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call(). For afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a separate parameter). (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full rxrpc address. (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(), is then altered to take a peer. This now returns the RTT or -1 if there are insufficient samples. (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer(). (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a peer the caller already has. This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents. It also makes it easier to get hold of the RTT. The following changes are made to afs: (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc. (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is used. (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always overridden. (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may now return an error that must be handled. (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address. (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{} now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.

rxrpc: Tidy up abort generation infrastructure

2023-01-06T09:43:32+00:00

Tidy up the abort generation infrastructure in the following ways: (1) Create an enum and string mapping table to list the reasons an abort might be generated in tracing. (2) Replace the 3-char string with the values from (1) in the places that use that to log the abort source. This gets rid of a memcpy() in the tracepoint. (3) Subsume the rxrpc_rx_eproto tracepoint with the rxrpc_abort tracepoint and use values from (1) to indicate the trace reason. (4) Always make a call to an abort function at the point of the abort rather than stashing the values into variables and using goto to get to a place where it reported. The C optimiser will collapse the calls together as appropriate. The abort functions return a value that can be returned directly if appropriate. Note that this extends into afs also at the points where that generates an abort. To aid with this, the afs sources need to #define RXRPC_TRACE_ONLY_DEFINE_ENUMS before including the rxrpc tracing header because they don't have access to the rxrpc internal structures that some of the tracepoints make use of.

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

2022-11-25T18:01:55+00:00

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way. Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder to misinterpret... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

afs: Fix access after dec in put functions

2022-08-02T17:21:29+00:00

Reference-putting functions should not access the object being put after decrementing the refcount unless they reduce the refcount to zero. Fix a couple of instances of this in afs by copying the information to be logged by tracepoint to local variables before doing the decrement.

afs: Fix tracepoint string placement with built-in AFS

2021-07-21T14:08:35+00:00

To quote Alexey[1]: I was adding custom tracepoint to the kernel, grabbed full F34 kernel .config, disabled modules and booted whole shebang as VM kernel. Then did perf record -a -e ... It crashed: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x435f5346592e4243: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 842 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.12.6+ #26 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1.fc33 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:t_show+0x22/0xd0 Then reproducer was narrowed to # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats Original F34 kernel with modules didn't crash. So I started to disable options and after disabling AFS everything started working again. The root cause is that AFS was placing char arrays content into a section full of _pointers_ to strings with predictable consequences. Non canonical address 435f5346592e4243 is "CB.YFS_" which came from CM_NAME macro. Steps to reproduce: CONFIG_AFS=y CONFIG_TRACING=y # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats Fix this by the following means: (1) Add enum->string translation tables in the event header with the AFS and YFS cache/callback manager operations listed by RPC operation ID. (2) Modify the afs_cb_call tracepoint to print the string from the translation table rather than using the string at the afs_call name pointer. (3) Switch translation table depending on the service we're being accessed as (AFS or YFS) in the tracepoint print clause. Will this cause problems to userspace utilities? Note that the symbolic representation of the YFS service ID isn't available to this header, so I've put it in as a number. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this. (4) Remove the name wrangling (CM_NAME) macro and put the names directly into the afs_call_type structs in cmservice.c.
