kobject: Remove redundant checks for whether ktype is NULL

2023-08-19T17:37:53+00:00

When adding koject or kset, we have made sure that ktype cannot be NULL. Therefore, after adding koject or kset, there is no need to worry about ktype being NULL. Clear all ktype-related redundancy checks. Signed-off-by: Zhen Lei Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230805084114.1298-3-thunder.leizhen@huaweicloud.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kobject: Add sanity check for kset->kobj.ktype in kset_register()

2023-08-19T17:37:53+00:00

When I register a kset in the following way: static struct kset my_kset; kobject_set_name(&my_kset.kobj, "my_kset"); ret = kset_register(&my_kset); A null pointer dereference exception is occurred: [ 4453.568337] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at \ virtual address 0000000000000028 ... ... [ 4453.810361] Call trace: [ 4453.813062] kobject_get_ownership+0xc/0x34 [ 4453.817493] kobject_add_internal+0x98/0x274 [ 4453.822005] kset_register+0x5c/0xb4 [ 4453.825820] my_kobj_init+0x44/0x1000 [my_kset] ... ... Because I didn't initialize my_kset.kobj.ktype. According to the description in Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst: - A ktype is the type of object that embeds a kobject. Every structure that embeds a kobject needs a corresponding ktype. So add sanity check to make sure kset->kobj.ktype is not NULL.

kobject: Add helper kobj_ns_type_is_valid()

2023-08-05T06:31:41+00:00

There are too many "(type > KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE) && (type < KOBJ_NS_TYPES)" and "(type <= KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE) || (type >= KOBJ_NS_TYPES)", add helper kobj_ns_type_is_valid() to eliminate duplicate code and improve readability.

kobject: Use return value of strreplace()

Since strreplace() returns the pointer to the string itself, we may use it directly in the code. Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230605170553.7835-4-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com

kobject: align stacktrace levels to logging message

2023-03-17T14:15:23+00:00

Without an explicit level the stacktraces are printed at a default level. If this level does not match the one from the logging level it may happen that the stacktrace is shown without the message or vice versa. Both these cases are confusing, so make sure the user always sees both, the message and the stacktrace.

kobject: define common logging prefix

2023-03-17T14:15:19+00:00

All log messages start with the prefix "kobject: ". Deduplicate this by using the pr_fmt() facility. This makes the very long log strings shorter.

kobject: make dynamic_kobj_ktype and kset_ktype const

2023-02-08T12:34:20+00:00

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.") the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type. Take advantage of this to constify the structure definitions to prevent modification at runtime.

kobject: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in fill_kobj_path()

2023-01-11T15:09:36+00:00

In kobject_get_path(), if kobj->name is changed between calls get_kobj_path_length() and fill_kobj_path() and the length becomes longer, then fill_kobj_path() will have an out-of-bounds bug. The actual current problem occurs when the ixgbe probe. In ixgbe_mii_bus_init(), if the length of netdev->dev.kobj.name length becomes longer, out-of-bounds will occur. cpu0 cpu1 ixgbe_probe register_netdev(netdev) netdev_register_kobject device_add kobject_uevent // Sending ADD events systemd-udevd // rename netdev dev_change_name device_rename kobject_rename ixgbe_mii_bus_init | mdiobus_register | __mdiobus_register | device_register | device_add | kobject_uevent | kobject_get_path | len = get_kobj_path_length // old name | path = kzalloc(len, gfp_mask); | kobj->name = name; /* name length becomes * longer */ fill_kobj_path /* kobj path length is * longer than path, * resulting in out of * bounds when filling path */ This is the kasan report: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fill_kobj_path+0x50/0xc0 Write of size 7 at addr ff1100090573d1fd by task kworker/28:1/673 Workqueue: events work_for_cpu_fn Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x48 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x86/0x1e7 print_report+0x36/0x4f kasan_report+0xad/0x130 kasan_check_range+0x35/0x1c0 memcpy+0x39/0x60 fill_kobj_path+0x50/0xc0 kobject_get_path+0x5a/0xc0 kobject_uevent_env+0x140/0x460 device_add+0x5c7/0x910 __mdiobus_register+0x14e/0x490 ixgbe_probe.cold+0x441/0x574 [ixgbe] local_pci_probe+0x78/0xc0 work_for_cpu_fn+0x26/0x40 process_one_work+0x3b6/0x6a0 worker_thread+0x368/0x520 kthread+0x165/0x1a0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 This reproducer triggers that bug: while: do rmmod ixgbe sleep 0.5 modprobe ixgbe sleep 0.5 When calling fill_kobj_path() to fill path, if the name length of kobj becomes longer, return failure and retry.

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2022-12-16T11:54:54+00:00

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1. The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro, container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer passed into it. The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e. kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do either. The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this. So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules. All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well. Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like: - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates - device property updates All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no problems" * tag 'driver-core-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (58 commits) device property: Fix documentation for fwnode_get_next_parent() firmware_loader: fix up to_fw_sysfs() to preserve const usb.h: take advantage of container_of_const() device.h: move kobj_to_dev() to use container_of_const() container_of: add container_of_const() that preserves const-ness of the pointer driver core: fix up missed drivers/s390/char/hmcdrv_dev.c class.devnode() conversion. driver core: fix up missed scsi/cxlflash class.devnode() conversion. driver core: fix up some missing class.devnode() conversions. driver core: make struct class.devnode() take a const * driver core: make struct class.dev_uevent() take a const * cacheinfo: Remove of_node_put() for fw_token device property: Add a blank line in Kconfig of tests device property: Rename goto label to be more precise device property: Move PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL() a bit down device property: Get rid of __PROPERTY_ENTRY_ARRAY_EL*SIZE*() kernfs: fix all kernel-doc warnings and multiple typos driver core: pass a const * into of_device_uevent() kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make name() callback take a const * kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make filter() callback take a const * kobject: make kobject_namespace take a const * ...
