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: 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.

sunrpc: don't immediately retransmit on seqno miss

2025-05-19T14:14:29+00:00

RFC2203 requires that retransmitted messages use a new gss sequence number, but the same XID. This means that if the server is just slow (e.x. overloaded), the client might receive a response using an older seqno than the one it has recorded. Currently, Linux's client immediately retransmits in this case. However, this leads to a lot of wasted retransmits until the server eventually responds faster than the client can resend. Client -> SEQ 1 -> Server Client -> SEQ 2 -> Server Client <- SEQ 1 <- Server (misses, expecting seqno = 2) Client -> SEQ 3 -> Server (immediate retransmission on miss) Client <- SEQ 2 <- Server (misses, expecting seqno = 3) Client -> SEQ 4 -> Server (immediate retransmission on miss) ... and so on ... This commit makes it so that we ignore messages with bad checksums due to seqnum mismatch, and rely on the usual timeout behavior for retransmission instead of doing so immediately.

NFS: Treat ENETUNREACH errors as fatal in containers

2025-03-21T16:44:19+00:00

Propagate the NFS_MOUNT_NETUNREACH_FATAL flag to work with the generic NFS client. If the flag is set, the client will receive ENETDOWN and ENETUNREACH errors from the RPC layer, and is expected to treat them as being fatal.

SUNRPC: do not retry on EKEYEXPIRED when user TGT ticket expired

2025-01-22T20:53:31+00:00

When a user TGT ticket expired, gssd returns EKEYEXPIRED to the RPC layer for the upcall to create the security context. The RPC layer then retries the upcall twice before returning the EKEYEXPIRED to the NFS layer. This results in three separate TCP connections to the NFS server being created by gssd for each RPC request. These connections are not used and left in TIME_WAIT state. Note that for RPC call that uses machine credential, gssd automatically renews the ticket. But for a regular user the ticket needs to be renewed by the user before access to the krb5 share is allowed. This patch removes the retries by RPC on EKEYEXPIRED so that these unused TCP connections are not created. Reproducer: $ kinit -l 1m $ sleep 65 $ cd /mnt/krb5share $ netstat -na |grep TIME_WAIT Signed-off-by: Dai Ngo Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker
