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

net: Convert proto_ops connect() callbacks to use sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:32+00:00

Update all struct proto_ops connect() callback function prototypes from "struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch. No binary changes expected.

net: appletalk: Fix device refcount leak in atrtr_create()

2025-07-11T01:01:08+00:00

When updating an existing route entry in atrtr_create(), the old device reference was not being released before assigning the new device, leading to a device refcount leak. Fix this by calling dev_put() to release the old device reference before holding the new one. Fixes: c7f905f0f6d4 ("[ATALK]: Add missing dev_hold() to atrtr_create().")

appletalk: Improve handling of broadcast packets

2024-05-08T11:17:19+00:00

When a broadcast AppleTalk packet is received, prefer queuing it on the socket whose address matches the address of the interface that received the packet (and is listening on the correct port). Userspace applications that handle such packets will usually send a response on the same socket that received the packet; this fix allows the response to be sent on the correct interface. If a socket matching the interface's address is not found, an arbitrary socket listening on the correct port will be used, if any. This matches the implementation's previous behavior. Fixes atalkd's responses to network information requests when multiple network interfaces are configured to use AppleTalk.

appletalk: Fix Use-After-Free in atalk_ioctl

2023-12-14T11:02:45+00:00

Because atalk_ioctl() accesses sk->sk_receive_queue without holding a sk->sk_receive_queue.lock, it can cause a race with atalk_recvmsg(). A use-after-free for skb occurs with the following flow. ``` atalk_ioctl() -> skb_peek() atalk_recvmsg() -> skb_recv_datagram() -> skb_free_datagram() ``` Add sk->sk_receive_queue.lock to atalk_ioctl() to fix this issue.

appletalk: remove special handling code for ipddp

2023-10-14T00:59:32+00:00

After commit 1dab47139e61 ("appletalk: remove ipddp driver") removes the config IPDDP, there is some minor code clean-up possible in the appletalk network layer. Remove some code in appletalk layer after the ipddp driver is gone.
