net: remove addr_len argument of recvmsg() handlers

2026-03-03T02:17:17+00:00

Use msg->msg_namelen as a place holder instead of a temporary variable, notably in inet[6]_recvmsg(). This removes stack canaries and allows tail-calls. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.old vmlinux add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/19 up/down: 26/-532 (-506) Function old new delta rawv6_recvmsg 744 767 +23 vsock_dgram_recvmsg 55 58 +3 vsock_connectible_recvmsg 50 47 -3 unix_stream_recvmsg 161 158 -3 unix_seqpacket_recvmsg 62 59 -3 unix_dgram_recvmsg 42 39 -3 tcp_recvmsg 546 543 -3 mptcp_recvmsg 1568 1565 -3 ping_recvmsg 806 800 -6 tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser 983 974 -9 ip_recv_error 588 576 -12 ipv6_recv_rxpmtu 442 428 -14 udp_recvmsg 1243 1224 -19 ipv6_recv_error 1046 1024 -22 udpv6_recvmsg 1487 1461 -26 raw_recvmsg 465 437 -28 udp_bpf_recvmsg 1027 984 -43 sock_common_recvmsg 103 27 -76 inet_recvmsg 257 175 -82 inet6_recvmsg 257 175 -82 tcp_bpf_recvmsg 663 568 -95 Total: Before=25143834, After=25143328, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260227151120.1346573-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

phonet: take correct lock to peek at the RX queue

2024-02-22T08:05:50+00:00

The receive queue is protected by its embedded spin-lock, not the socket lock, so we need the former lock here (and only that one).

net: ioctl: Use kernel memory on protocol ioctl callbacks

2023-06-16T05:33:26+00:00

Most of the ioctls to net protocols operates directly on userspace argument (arg). Usually doing get_user()/put_user() directly in the ioctl callback. This is not flexible, because it is hard to reuse these functions without passing userspace buffers. Change the "struct proto" ioctls to avoid touching userspace memory and operate on kernel buffers, i.e., all protocol's ioctl callbacks is adapted to operate on a kernel memory other than on userspace (so, no more {put,get}_user() and friends being called in the ioctl callback). This changes the "struct proto" ioctl format in the following way: int (*ioctl)(struct sock *sk, int cmd, - unsigned long arg); + int *karg); (Important to say that this patch does not touch the "struct proto_ops" protocols) So, the "karg" argument, which is passed to the ioctl callback, is a pointer allocated to kernel space memory (inside a function wrapper). This buffer (karg) may contain input argument (copied from userspace in a prep function) and it might return a value/buffer, which is copied back to userspace if necessary. There is not one-size-fits-all format (that is I am using 'may' above), but basically, there are three type of ioctls: 1) Do not read from userspace, returns a result to userspace 2) Read an input parameter from userspace, and does not return anything to userspace 3) Read an input from userspace, and return a buffer to userspace. The default case (1) (where no input parameter is given, and an "int" is returned to userspace) encompasses more than 90% of the cases, but there are two other exceptions. Here is a list of exceptions: * Protocol RAW: * cmd = SIOCGETVIFCNT: * input and output = struct sioc_vif_req * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req * Explanation: for the SIOCGETVIFCNT case, userspace passes the input argument, which is struct sioc_vif_req. Then the callback populates the struct, which is copied back to userspace. * Protocol RAW6: * cmd = SIOCGETMIFCNT_IN6 * input and output = struct sioc_mif_req6 * cmd = SIOCGETSGCNT_IN6 * input and output = struct sioc_sg_req6 * Protocol PHONET: * cmd == SIOCPNADDRESOURCE | SIOCPNDELRESOURCE * input int (4 bytes) * Nothing is copied back to userspace. For the exception cases, functions sock_sk_ioctl_inout() will copy the userspace input, and copy it back to kernel space. The wrapper that prepare the buffer and put the buffer back to user is sk_ioctl(), so, instead of calling sk->sk_prot->ioctl(), the callee now calls sk_ioctl(), which will handle all cases.

net: remove noblock parameter from recvmsg() entities

2022-04-12T13:00:25+00:00

The internal recvmsg() functions have two parameters 'flags' and 'noblock' that were merged inside skb_recv_datagram(). As a follow up patch to commit f4b41f062c42 ("net: remove noblock parameter from skb_recv_datagram()") this patch removes the separate 'noblock' parameter for recvmsg(). Analogue to the referenced patch for skb_recv_datagram() the 'flags' and 'noblock' parameters are unnecessarily split up with e.g. err = sk->sk_prot->recvmsg(sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); or in err = INDIRECT_CALL_2(sk->sk_prot->recvmsg, tcp_recvmsg, udp_recvmsg, sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); instead of simply using only flags all the time and check for MSG_DONTWAIT where needed (to preserve for the formerly separated no(n)block condition).

net: remove noblock parameter from skb_recv_datagram()

2022-04-06T12:45:26+00:00

skb_recv_datagram() has two parameters 'flags' and 'noblock' that are merged inside skb_recv_datagram() by 'flags | (noblock ? MSG_DONTWAIT : 0)' As 'flags' may contain MSG_DONTWAIT as value most callers split the 'flags' into 'flags' and 'noblock' with finally obsolete bit operations like this: skb_recv_datagram(sk, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, &rc); And this is not even done consistently with the 'flags' parameter. This patch removes the obsolete and costly splitting into two parameters and only performs bit operations when really needed on the caller side. One missing conversion thankfully reported by kernel test robot. I missed to enable kunit tests to build the mctp code.

net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31+00:00

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now. Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire networking stack.

net: Add and use skb_copy_datagram_msg() helper.

2014-11-05T21:46:40+00:00

This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length". When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will sit in the msghdr. Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch during that transformation.
