net: Convert proto callbacks from sockaddr to sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:33+00:00

Convert struct proto pre_connect(), connect(), bind(), and bind_add() callback function prototypes from struct sockaddr to struct sockaddr_unsized. This does not change per-implementation use of sockaddr for passing around an arbitrarily sized sockaddr struct. Those will be addressed in future patches. Additionally removes the no longer referenced struct sockaddr from include/net/inet_common.h. No binary changes expected.

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: core: Convert dev_set_mac_address() to struct sockaddr_storage

2025-05-27T06:25:43+00:00

All users of dev_set_mac_address() are now using a struct sockaddr_storage. Convert the internal data type to struct sockaddr_storage, drop the casts, and update pointer types. Acked-by: Gustavo A.

ieee802154: Use struct sockaddr_storage with dev_set_mac_address()

2025-05-27T06:25:43+00:00

Switch to struct sockaddr_storage for calling dev_set_mac_address(). Add a temporary cast to struct sockaddr, which will be removed in a subsequent patch. Acked-by: Gustavo A. R.

inet: frags: save a pair of atomic operations in reassembly

2025-03-18T12:18:36+00:00

As mentioned in commit 648700f76b03 ("inet: frags: use rhashtables for reassembly units"): A followup patch will even remove the refcount hold/release left from prior implementation and save a couple of atomic operations. This patch implements this idea, seven years later.

inet: frags: change inet_frag_kill() to defer refcount updates

2025-03-18T12:18:36+00:00

In the following patch, we no longer assume inet_frag_kill() callers own a reference. Consuming two refcounts from inet_frag_kill() would lead in UAF. Propagate the pointer to the refs that will be consumed later by the final inet_frag_putn() call.

net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header

2025-03-08T17:06:50+00:00

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching the header with the helpers). The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.
