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

rxrpc: Fix recv-recv race of completed call

2025-07-17T14:50:48+00:00

If a call receives an event (such as incoming data), the call gets placed on the socket's queue and a thread in recvmsg can be awakened to go and process it. Once the thread has picked up the call off of the queue, further events will cause it to be requeued, and once the socket lock is dropped (recvmsg uses call->user_mutex to allow the socket to be used in parallel), a second thread can come in and its recvmsg can pop the call off the socket queue again. In such a case, the first thread will be receiving stuff from the call and the second thread will be blocked on call->user_mutex. The first thread can, at this point, process both the event that it picked call for and the event that the second thread picked the call for and may see the call terminate - in which case the call will be "released", decoupling the call from the user call ID assigned to it (RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID in the control message). The first thread will return okay, but then the second thread will wake up holding the user_mutex and, if it sees that the call has been released by the first thread, it will BUG thusly: kernel BUG at net/rxrpc/recvmsg.c:474! Fix this by just dequeuing the call and ignoring it if it is seen to be already released. We can't tell userspace about it anyway as the user call ID has become stale.

rxrpc: Fix irq-disabled in local_bh_enable()

2025-07-17T14:50:48+00:00

The rxrpc_assess_MTU_size() function calls down into the IP layer to find out the MTU size for a route. When accepting an incoming call, this is called from rxrpc_new_incoming_call() which holds interrupts disabled across the code that calls down to it. Unfortunately, the IP layer uses local_bh_enable() which, config dependent, throws a warning if IRQs are enabled: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5544 at kernel/softirq.c:387 __local_bh_enable_ip+0x43/0xd0 ...

It shouldn't be a problem for rxrpc_new_incoming_call() to do it after the locks are dropped as pmtud is going to be performed by the I/O thread - and we're in the I/O thread at this point.

rxrpc: Fix oops due to non-existence of prealloc backlog struct

2025-07-10T02:41:44+00:00

If an AF_RXRPC service socket is opened and bound, but calls are preallocated, then rxrpc_alloc_incoming_call() will oops because the rxrpc_backlog struct doesn't get allocated until the first preallocation is made. Fix this by returning NULL from rxrpc_alloc_incoming_call() if there is no backlog struct. This will cause the incoming call to be aborted.

rxrpc: Fix bug due to prealloc collision

2025-07-10T02:41:44+00:00

When userspace is using AF_RXRPC to provide a server, it has to preallocate incoming calls and assign to them call IDs that will be used to thread related recvmsg() and sendmsg() together. The preallocated call IDs will automatically be attached to calls as they come in until the pool is empty. To the kernel, the call IDs are just arbitrary numbers, but userspace can use the call ID to hold a pointer to prepared structs. In any case, the user isn't permitted to create two calls with the same call ID (call IDs become available again when the call ends) and EBADSLT should result from sendmsg() if an attempt is made to preallocate a call with an in-use call ID. However, the cleanup in the error handling will trigger both assertions in rxrpc_cleanup_call() because the call isn't marked complete and isn't marked as having been released. Fix this by setting the call state in rxrpc_service_prealloc_one() and then marking it as being released before calling the cleanup function.

rxrpc: Pull out certain app callback funcs into an ops table

2025-04-15T00:36:41+00:00

A number of functions separately furnish an AF_RXRPC socket with callback function pointers into a kernel app (such as the AFS filesystem) that is using it. Replace most of these with an ops table for the entire socket. This makes it easier to add more callback functions. Note that the call incoming data processing callback is retaind as that gets set to different things, depending on the type of op.

rxrpc: Fix CPU time starvation in I/O thread

2024-12-09T21:48:26+00:00

Starvation can happen in the rxrpc I/O thread because it goes back to the top of the I/O loop after it does any one thing without trying to give any other connection or call CPU time. Also, because it processes one call packet at a time, it tries to do the retransmission loop after each ACK without checking to see if there are other ACKs already in the queue that can update the SACK state. Fix this by: (1) Add a received-packet queue on each call. (2) Distribute packets from the master Rx queue to the individual call, conn and error queues and 'poking' calls to add them to the attend queue first thing in the I/O thread. (3) Go through all the attention-seeking connections and calls before going back to the top of the I/O thread. Each queue is extracted as a whole and then gone through so that new additions to insert themselves into the queue. (4) Make the call event handler go through all the packets currently on the call's rx_queue before transmitting and retransmitting DATA packets. (5) Drop the skb argument from the call event handler as this is now replaced with the rx_queue. Instead, keep track of whether we received a packet or an ACK for the tests that used to rely on that.
