Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

tipc: Remove redundant call to TLV_SPACE()

2023-11-17T02:27:27+00:00

The purpose of TLV_SPACE() is to add the TLV descriptor size to the size of the TLV value passed as argument and align the resulting size to TLV_ALIGNTO. tipc_tlv_alloc() calls TLV_SPACE() on its argument. In other words, tipc_tlv_alloc() takes its argument as the size of the TLV value. So the call to TLV_SPACE() in tipc_get_err_tlv() is redundant. Let's remove this redundancy.

This size is calculated with TLV_SPACE() macro. It adds the size of struct tlv_desc and the length of TLV value passed as an argument, and aligns the result to a multiple of TLV_ALIGNTO, i.e., a multiple of 4 bytes. If the size of struct tlv_desc plus the length of TLV value is not aligned, the current implementation leaves the remaining bytes uninitialized. This is the cause of the above kernel-infoleak issue. This patch resolves this issue by clearing data up to an aligned size.

genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes

2022-08-29T11:47:15+00:00

We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious bytes in the future. One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands for some core families. To make sure that new families do the right thing by default put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.
