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: 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: refactor TC action init API

2021-08-02T09:24:38+00:00

TC action ->init() API has 10 parameters, it becomes harder to read. Some of them are just boolean and can be replaced by flags. Similarly for the internal API tcf_action_init() and tcf_exts_validate(). This patch converts them to flags and fold them into the upper 16 bits of "flags", whose lower 16 bits are still reserved for user-space. More specifically, the following kernel flags are introduced: TCA_ACT_FLAGS_POLICE replace 'name' in a few contexts, to distinguish whether it is compatible with policer. TCA_ACT_FLAGS_BIND replaces 'bind', to indicate whether this action is bound to a filter. TCA_ACT_FLAGS_REPLACE replaces 'ovr' in most contexts, means we are replacing an existing action. TCA_ACT_FLAGS_NO_RTNL replaces 'rtnl_held' but has the opposite meaning, because we still hold RTNL in most cases. The only user-space flag TCA_ACT_FLAGS_NO_PERCPU_STATS is untouched and still stored as before. I have tested this patch with tdc and I do not see any failure related to this patch.

net_sched: fix ops->bind_class() implementations

2020-01-27T09:51:43+00:00

The current implementations of ops->bind_class() are merely searching for classid and updating class in the struct tcf_result, without invoking either of cl_ops->bind_tcf() or cl_ops->unbind_tcf(). This breaks the design of them as qdisc's like cbq use them to count filters too. This is why syzbot triggered the warning in cbq_destroy_class(). In order to fix this, we have to call cl_ops->bind_tcf() and cl_ops->unbind_tcf() like the filter binding path. This patch does so by refactoring out two helper functions __tcf_bind_filter() and __tcf_unbind_filter(), which are lockless and accept a Qdisc pointer, then teaching each implementation to call them correctly. Note, we merely pass the Qdisc pointer as an opaque pointer to each filter, they only need to pass it down to the helper functions without understanding it at all.
