net: change sock_queue_rcv_skb_reason() to return a drop_reason

2026-04-12T21:30:25+00:00

Change sock_queue_rcv_skb_reason() to return the drop_reason directly instead of using a reference. This is part of an effort to remove stack canaries and reduce bloat. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.old vmlinux.new add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 3/7 up/down: 79/-301 (-222) Function old new delta vsock_queue_rcv_skb 50 79 +29 ipmr_cache_report 1290 1315 +25 ip6mr_cache_report 1322 1347 +25 packet_rcv_spkt 329 327 -2 sock_queue_rcv_skb_reason 166 128 -38 raw_rcv_skb 122 80 -42 ping_queue_rcv_skb 109 61 -48 ping_rcv 215 162 -53 rawv6_rcv_skb 278 224 -54 raw_rcv 591 527 -64 Total: Before=29722890, After=29722668, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260409145625.2306224-2-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

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: remove private CAN skb headroom infrastructure

2026-02-05T10:58:40+00:00

This patch removes struct can_skb_priv which was stored at skb->head and the can_skb_reserve() helper which was used to shift skb->head.

can: move ifindex to CAN skb extensions

2026-02-05T10:58:40+00:00

When routing CAN frames over different CAN interfaces the interface index skb->iif is overwritten with every single hop. To prevent sending a CAN frame back to its originating (first) incoming CAN interface another ifindex variable is needed, which was stored in can_skb_priv::ifindex. Move the can_skb_priv::ifindex content to can_skb_ext::can_iif.

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.

net: can: j1939: j1939_xtp_rx_rts_session_active(): deactivate session upon receiving the second rts

2026-01-15T08:52:39+00:00

Since j1939_session_deactivate_activate_next() in j1939_tp_rxtimer() is called only when the timer is enabled, we need to call j1939_session_deactivate_activate_next() if we cancelled the timer. Otherwise, refcount for j1939_session leaks, which will later appear as | unregister_netdevice: waiting for vcan0 to become free. Usage count = 2. problem.

can: j1939: make j1939_sk_bind() fail if device is no longer registered

2025-12-17T09:47:33+00:00

There is a theoretical race window in j1939_sk_netdev_event_unregister() where two j1939_sk_bind() calls jump in between read_unlock_bh() and lock_sock(). The assumption jsk->priv == priv can fail if the first j1939_sk_bind() call once made jsk->priv == NULL due to failed j1939_local_ecu_get() call and the second j1939_sk_bind() call again made jsk->priv != NULL due to successful j1939_local_ecu_get() call. Since the socket lock is held by both j1939_sk_netdev_event_unregister() and j1939_sk_bind(), checking ndev->reg_state with the socket lock held can reliably make the second j1939_sk_bind() call fail (and close this race window).

can: j1939: make j1939_session_activate() fail if device is no longer registered

2025-12-17T09:46:39+00:00

syzbot is still reporting unregister_netdevice: waiting for vcan0 to become free. Usage count = 2 even after commit 93a27b5891b8 ("can: j1939: add missing calls in NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification handler") was added. A debug printk() patch found that j1939_session_activate() can succeed even after j1939_cancel_active_session() from j1939_netdev_notify(NETDEV_UNREGISTER) has completed. Since j1939_cancel_active_session() is processed with the session list lock held, checking ndev->reg_state in j1939_session_activate() with the session list lock held can reliably close the race window.
