socket: Unify getsockname and getpeername implementation

2025-11-26T20:45:23+00:00

They are already implemented by the same get_name hook in the protocol level. Bring the unification one level up to reduce code duplication in preparation to supporting these as io_uring operations. Reviewed-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima Signed-off-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

net/compat: Update msg_control_is_user when setting a kernel pointer

2023-04-14T10:09:27+00:00

cmsghdr_from_user_compat_to_kern() is an unusual case w.r.t. how the kmsg->msg_control* fields are used. The input struct msghdr holds a pointer to a user buffer, i.e. ksmg->msg_control_user is active. However, upon success, a kernel pointer is stored in kmsg->msg_control. kmsg->msg_control_is_user should therefore be updated accordingly. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: "David S.

net: Ensure ->msg_control_user is used for user buffers

2023-04-14T10:09:27+00:00

Since commit 1f466e1f15cf ("net: cleanly handle kernel vs user buffers for ->msg_control"), pointers to user buffers should be stored in struct msghdr::msg_control_user, instead of the msg_control field. Most users of msg_control have already been converted (where user buffers are involved), but not all of them. This patch attempts to address the remaining cases. An exception is made for null checks, as it should be safe to use msg_control unconditionally for that purpose. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: "David S.

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

net: fix compat pointer in get_compat_msghdr()

2022-07-25T00:39:18+00:00

A previous change enabled external users to copy the data before calling __get_compat_msghdr(), but didn't modify get_compat_msghdr() or __io_compat_recvmsg_copy_hdr() to take that into account. They are both stil passing in the __user pointer rather than the copied version. Ensure we pass in the kernel struct, not the pointer to the user data.
