net/sched: act_gate: snapshot parameters with RCU on replace

2026-02-28T00:10:36+00:00

The gate action can be replaced while the hrtimer callback or dump path is walking the schedule list. Convert the parameters to an RCU-protected snapshot and swap updates under tcf_lock, freeing the previous snapshot via call_rcu(). When REPLACE omits the entry list, preserve the existing schedule so the effective state is unchanged.

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

net/sched: Switch to use hrtimer_setup()

2025-02-18T09:35:44+00:00

hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and initializes the timer completely. Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism. Patch was created by using Coccinelle.

net: convert to nla_get_*_default()

2024-11-11T18:32:06+00:00

Most of the original conversion is from the spatch below, but I edited some and left out other instances that were either buggy after conversion (where default values don't fit into the type) or just looked strange. @@ expression attr, def; expression val; identifier fn =~ "^nla_get_.*"; fresh identifier dfn = fn ## "_default"; @@ ( -if (attr) - val = fn(attr); -else - val = def; +val = dfn(attr, def); | -if (!attr) - val = def; -else - val = fn(attr); +val = dfn(attr, def); | -if (!attr) - return def; -return fn(attr); +return dfn(attr, def); | -attr ? fn(attr) : def +dfn(attr, def) | -!attr ? def : fn(attr) +dfn(attr, def) ) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Reviewed-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241108114145.0580b8684e7f.I740beeaa2f70ebfc19bfca1045a24d6151992790@changeid Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net/sched: Add module aliases for cls_,sch_,act_ modules

2024-02-02T18:57:55+00:00

No functional change intended, aliases will be used in followup commits. Note for backporters: you may need to add aliases also for modules that are already removed in mainline kernel but still in your version. Patches were generated with the help of Coccinelle scripts like: cat >scripts/coccinelle/misc/tcf_alias.cocci </dev/null | \ sed 's/char module_alias = "\([^"]*\)";/MODULE_ALIAS_NET_CLS("\1");/' And analogously for: static struct tc_action_ops ops = { .kind = K, static struct Qdisc_ops ops = { .id = K, (Someone familiar would be able to fit those into one .cocci file without sed post processing.)

net/sched: introduce ACT_P_BOUND return code

2024-01-04T02:36:24+00:00

Bound actions always return '0' and as of today we rely on '0' being returned in order to properly skip bound actions in tcf_idr_insert_many. In order to further improve maintainability, introduce the ACT_P_BOUND return code. Actions are updated to return 'ACT_P_BOUND' instead of plain '0'. tcf_idr_insert_many is then updated to check for 'ACT_P_BOUND'.
