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: rxgk: Implement connection rekeying

2025-04-15T00:36:42+00:00

Implement rekeying of connections with the RxGK security class. This involves regenerating the keys with a different key number as part of the input data after a certain amount of time or a certain amount of bytes encrypted. Rekeying may be triggered by either end. The LSW of the key number is inserted into the security-specific field in the RX header, and we try and expand it to 32-bits to make it last longer.

rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE

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

Allow the app to request that CHALLENGEs be passed to it through an out-of-band queue that allows recvmsg() to pick it up so that the app can add data to it with sendmsg(). This will allow the application (AFS or userspace) to interact with the process if it wants to and put values into user-defined fields. This will be used by AFS when talking to a fileserver to supply that fileserver with a crypto key by which callback RPCs can be encrypted (ie. notifications from the fileserver to the client).

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

rxrpc: Fix the rxrpc_connection attend queue handling

2025-02-04T14:30:28+00:00

The rxrpc_connection attend queue is never used because conn::attend_link is never initialised and so is always NULL'd out and thus always appears to be busy. This requires the following fix: (1) Fix this the attend queue problem by initialising conn::attend_link. And, consequently, two further fixes for things masked by the above bug: (2) Fix rxrpc_input_conn_event() to handle being invoked with a NULL sk_buff pointer - something that can now happen with the above change. (3) Fix the RXRPC_SKB_MARK_SERVICE_CONN_SECURED message to carry a pointer to the connection and a ref on it. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Marc Dionne cc: Jakub Kicinski cc: "David S.

rxrpc: Use irq-disabling spinlocks between app and I/O thread

2024-12-09T21:48:31+00:00

Where a spinlock is used by both the application thread and the I/O thread, use irq-disabling locking so that an interrupt taken on the app thread doesn't also slow down the I/O thread. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Marc Dionne cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

rxrpc: Implement path-MTU probing using padded PING ACKs (RFC8899)

2024-12-09T21:48:25+00:00

Implement path-MTU probing (along the lines of RFC8899) by padding some of the PING ACKs we send. PING ACKs get their own individual responses quite apart from the acking of data (though, as ACKs, they fulfil that role also). The probing concentrates on packet sizes that correspond how many subpackets can be stuffed inside a jumbo packet as jumbo DATA packets are just aggregations of individual DATA packets and can be split easily for retransmission purposes. If we want to perform probing, we advertise this by setting the maximum number of jumbo subpackets to 0 in the ack trailer when we send an ACK and see if the peer is also advertising the service. This is interpreted by non-supporting Rx stacks as an indication that jumbo packets aren't supported. The MTU sizes advertised in the ACK trailer AF_RXRPC transmits are pegged at a maximum of 1444 unless pmtud is supported by both sides.

rxrpc: Clients must accept conn from any address

2024-05-01T21:49:56+00:00

The find connection logic of Transarc's Rx was modified in the mid-1990s to support multi-homed servers which might send a response packet from an address other than the destination address in the received packet. The rules for accepting a packet by an Rx initiator (RX_CLIENT_CONNECTION) were altered to permit acceptance of a packet from any address provided that the port number was unchanged and all of the connection identifiers matched (Epoch, CID, SecurityClass, ...). This change applies the same rules to the Linux implementation which makes it consistent with IBM AFS 3.6, Arla, OpenAFS and AuriStorFS.

rxrpc: Do zerocopy using MSG_SPLICE_PAGES and page frags

Switch from keeping the transmission buffers in the rxrpc_txbuf struct and allocated from the slab, to allocating them using page fragment allocators (which uses raw pages), thereby allowing them to be passed to MSG_SPLICE_PAGES and avoid copying into the UDP buffers.
