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

treewide: Convert del_timer() to timer_shutdown()

2022-12-25T21:38:09+00:00

Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added called "shutdown". After a timer is set to this state, then it can no longer be re-armed. The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the object holding the timer is freed. It also ignores any locations where the timer->function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(), as that is not considered a "trivial" case. This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following commands: $ cat timer.cocci @@ expression ptr, slab; identifier timer, rfield; @@ ( - del_timer(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown(&ptr->timer); | - del_timer_sync(&ptr->timer); + timer_shutdown_sync(&ptr->timer); ) ... when strict when != ptr->timer ( kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield); | kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr); | kfree(ptr); ) $ spatch timer.cocci . > /tmp/t.patch $ patch -p1 < /tmp/t.patch Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221123201306.823305113@linutronix.de/ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Acked-by: Pavel Machek [ LED ] Acked-by: Kalle Valo [ wireless ] Acked-by: Paolo Abeni [ networking ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tipc: check skb_linearize() return value in tipc_disc_rcv()

2022-11-22T04:50:24+00:00

If skb_linearize() fails in tipc_disc_rcv(), we need to free the skb instead of handle it.

tipc: Fix recognition of trial period

2022-10-14T07:17:52+00:00

The trial period exists until jiffies is after addr_trial_end. But as jiffies will eventually overflow, just using time_after will eventually give incorrect results. As the node address is set once the trial period ends, this can be used to know that we are not in the trial period.

tipc: simplify the finalize work queue

2021-05-18T20:22:09+00:00

This patch is to use "struct work_struct" for the finalize work queue instead of "struct tipc_net_work", as it can get the "net" and "addr" from tipc_net's other members and there is no need to add extra net and addr in tipc_net by defining "struct tipc_net_work". Note that it's safe to get net from tn->bcl as bcl is always released after the finalize work queue is done. Signed-off-by: Xin Long Acked-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: fix use-after-free in tipc_disc_rcv()

2019-12-11T01:45:04+00:00

In the function 'tipc_disc_rcv()', the 'msg_peer_net_hash()' is called to read the header data field but after the message skb has been freed, that might result in a garbage value... This commit fixes it by defining a new local variable to store the data first, just like the other header fields' handling.
