rxrpc, afs: Fix missing error pointer check after rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer()

2026-03-07T01:49:52+00:00

rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() can also return error pointers in addition to NULL, so just checking for NULL is not sufficient. Fix this by: (1) Changing rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() to return -ENOMEM rather than NULL on allocation failure. (2) Making the callers in afs use IS_ERR() and PTR_ERR() to pass on the error code returned.

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 data-race warning and potential load/store tearing

2026-01-22T03:59:29+00:00

Fix the following: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker / rxrpc_send_data_packet which is reporting an issue with the reads and writes to ->last_tx_at in: conn->peer->last_tx_at = ktime_get_seconds(); and: keepalive_at = peer->last_tx_at + RXRPC_KEEPALIVE_TIME; The lockless accesses to these to values aren't actually a problem as the read only needs an approximate time of last transmission for the purposes of deciding whether or not the transmission of a keepalive packet is warranted yet. Also, as ->last_tx_at is a 64-bit value, tearing can occur on a 32-bit arch. Fix both of these by switching to an unsigned int for ->last_tx_at and only storing the LSW of the time64_t. It can then be reconstructed at need provided no more than 68 years has elapsed since the last transmission.

rxrpc: Fix recvmsg() unconditional requeue

2026-01-19T18:07:06+00:00

If rxrpc_recvmsg() fails because MSG_DONTWAIT was specified but the call at the front of the recvmsg queue already has its mutex locked, it requeues the call - whether or not the call is already queued. The call may be on the queue because MSG_PEEK was also passed and so the call was not dequeued or because the I/O thread requeued it. The unconditional requeue may then corrupt the recvmsg queue, leading to things like UAFs or refcount underruns. Fix this by only requeuing the call if it isn't already on the queue - and moving it to the front if it is already queued. If we don't queue it, we have to put the ref we obtained by dequeuing it. Also, MSG_PEEK doesn't dequeue the call so shouldn't call rxrpc_notify_socket() for the call if we didn't use up all the data on the queue, so fix that also.

net: Convert proto_ops connect() callbacks to use sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:32+00:00

Update all struct proto_ops connect() callback function prototypes from "struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch. No binary changes expected.

net: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users

2025-09-23T00:40:30+00:00

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND. This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues, allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and reducing noise when CPUs are isolated. This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag at the network subsystem, to explicitly request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. All existing users have been updated accordingly.

rxrpc: Fix untrusted unsigned subtract

Fix the following Smatch static checker warning: net/rxrpc/rxgk_app.c:65 rxgk_yfs_decode_ticket() warn: untrusted unsigned subtract. 'ticket_len - 10 * 4' by prechecking the length of what we're trying to extract in two places in the token and decoding for a response packet. Also use sizeof() on the struct we're extracting rather specifying the size numerically to be consistent with the other related statements.

rxrpc: Fix unhandled errors in rxgk_verify_packet_integrity()

2025-09-14T20:05:22+00:00

rxgk_verify_packet_integrity() may get more errors than just -EPROTO from rxgk_verify_mic_skb(). Pretty much anything other than -ENOMEM constitutes an unrecoverable error. In the case of -ENOMEM, we can just drop the packet and wait for a retransmission. Similar happens with rxgk_decrypt_skb() and its callers. Fix rxgk_decrypt_skb() or rxgk_verify_mic_skb() to return a greater variety of abort codes and fix their callers to abort the connection on any error apart from -ENOMEM. Also preclear the variables used to hold the abort code returned from rxgk_decrypt_skb() or rxgk_verify_mic_skb() to eliminate uninitialised variable warnings.
