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

mac802154: fix llsec key resources release in mac802154_llsec_key_del

2024-03-06T20:01:26+00:00

mac802154_llsec_key_del() can free resources of a key directly without following the RCU rules for waiting before the end of a grace period. This may lead to use-after-free in case llsec_lookup_key() is traversing the list of keys in parallel with a key deletion: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

mac802154: Handle basic beaconing

2023-01-28T12:55:10+00:00

Implement the core hooks in order to provide the softMAC layer support for sending beacons. Coordinators may be requested to send beacons in a beacon enabled PAN in order for the other devices around to self discover the available PANs automatically. Changing the channels is prohibited while a beacon operation is ongoing. The implementation uses a workqueue triggered at a certain interval depending on the symbol duration for the current channel and the interval order provided. Sending beacons in response to a BEACON_REQ frame (ie. answering active scans) is not yet supported. This initial patchset has no security support (llsec).

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

mac802154: Fix MAC header and payload encrypted

2017-09-20T11:37:16+00:00

According to 802.15.4-2003/2006/2015 specifications the MAC frame is composed of MHR, MAC payload and MFR and just the outgoing MAC payload must be encrypted. If communication is secure,sender build Auxiliary Security Header(ASH), insert it next to the standard MHR header with security enabled bit ON, and secure frames before transmitting them. According to the information carried within the ASH, recipient retrieves the right cryptographic key and correctly un-secure MAC frames. The error scenario occurs on Linux using IEEE802154_SCF_SECLEVEL_ENC(4) security level when llsec_do_encrypt_unauth() function builds theses MAC frames incorrectly. On recipients these MAC frames are discarded,logging "got invalid frame" messages. Signed-off-by: Diogenes Pereira Signed-off-by: Stefan Schmidt
