can: statistics: add missing atomic access in hot path

2026-03-19T13:53:19+00:00

Commit 80b5f90158d1 ("can: statistics: use atomic access in hot path") fixed a KCSAN issue in can_receive() but missed to convert the 'matches' variable used in can_rcv_filter().

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

can: add CAN skb extension infrastructure

2026-02-05T10:58:39+00:00

To remove the private CAN bus skb headroom infrastructure 8 bytes need to be stored in the skb. The skb extensions are a common pattern and an easy and efficient way to hold private data travelling along with the skb. We only need the skb_ext_add() and skb_ext_find() functions to allocate and access CAN specific content as the skb helpers to copy/clone/free skbs automatically take care of skb extensions and their final removal. This patch introduces the complete CAN skb extensions infrastructure: - add struct can_skb_ext in new file include/net/can.h - add include/net/can.h in MAINTAINERS - add SKB_EXT_CAN to skbuff.c and skbuff.h - select SKB_EXTENSIONS in Kconfig when CONFIG_CAN is enabled - check for existing CAN skb extensions in can_rcv() in af_can.c - add CAN skb extensions allocation at every skb_alloc() location - duplicate the skb extensions if cloning outgoing skbs (framelen/gw_hops) - introduce can_skb_ext_add() and can_skb_ext_find() helpers The patch also corrects an indention issue in the original code from 2018: Reported-by: kernel test robot Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202602010426.PnGrYAk3-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260201-can_skb_ext-v8-2-3635d790fe8b@hartkopp.net Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

can: use skb hash instead of private variable in headroom

2026-02-05T10:58:39+00:00

The can_skb_priv::skbcnt variable is used to identify CAN skbs in the RX path analogue to the skb->hash. As the skb hash is not filled in CAN skbs move the private skbcnt value to skb->hash and set skb->sw_hash accordingly. The skb->hash is a value used for RPS to identify skbs. Use it as intended.

can: annotate mtu accesses with READ_ONCE()

2025-09-23T08:04:58+00:00

As hinted in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small mtu values."), net_device->mtu is vulnerable to race conditions if it is written and read without holding the RTNL. At the moment, all the writes are done while the interface is down, either in the devices' probe() function or in can_changelink(). So there are no such issues yet. But upcoming changes will allow to modify the MTU while the CAN XL devices are up. In preparation to the introduction of CAN XL, annotate all the net_device->mtu accesses which are not yet guarded by the RTNL with a READ_ONCE(). Note that all the write accesses are already either guarded by the RTNL or are already annotated and thus need no changes.

can: add drop reasons in the receive path of AF_CAN

Besides the existing pr_warn_once(), use skb drop reasons in case AF_CAN layer drops non-conformant CAN{,FD,XL} frames, or conformant frames received by "wrong" devices, so that it's possible to debug (and count) such events using existing tracepoints: | # perf record -e skb:kfree_skb -aR -- ./drv/canfdtest -v -g -l 1 vcan0 | # perf script | [...] | canfdtest 1123 [000] 3893.271264: skb:kfree_skb: skbaddr=0xffff975703c9f700 rx_sk=(nil) protocol=12 location=can_rcv+0x4b reason: CAN_RX_INVALID_FRAME Signed-off-by: Davide Caratti Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250604160605.1005704-2-dcaratti@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde
