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: remove sock_i_uid()

2025-06-24T00:04:03+00:00

Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk->sk_uid value. None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this. Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined. Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and can not see the full benefit yet.

net: annotate races around sk->sk_uid

2025-06-24T00:04:03+00:00

sk->sk_uid can be read while another thread changes its value in sockfs_setattr(). Add sk_uid(const struct sock *sk) helper to factorize the needed READ_ONCE() annotations, and add corresponding WRITE_ONCE() where needed.
