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

wifi: cfg80211: sme: store capped length in __cfg80211_connect_result()

The QGenie AI code review tool says we should store the capped length to wdev->u.client.ssid_len. The AI is correct.

wifi: cfg80211: sme: cap SSID length in __cfg80211_connect_result()

2025-09-03T07:37:55+00:00

If the ssid->datalen is more than IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN (32) it would lead to memory corruption so add some bounds checking.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: remove wrong scan request n_channels

2025-07-18T12:07:35+00:00

This (partially) reverts commits - 838c7b8f1f27 ("wifi: nl80211: Avoid address calculations via out of bounds array indexing") - f1d3334d604c ("wifi: cfg80211: sme: init n_channels before channels[] access") - 82bbe02b2500 ("wifi: mac80211: Set n_channels after allocating struct cfg80211_scan_request") These commits all set the structure to be in an inconsistent state, setting n_channels to some value before them actually being filled in. That's fine for what the code does now, but with the removal of __counted_by() in 444020f4bf06 ("wifi: cfg80211: remove scan request n_channels counted_by") it's no longer needed and it does leave a bit of a landmine there since breaking out of some code to send the scan or something would leave it wrong. Remove the now superfluous n_channels settings. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250718103237.59510b2384c5.Ied5ba9c5c49efc008f4491c8ca7a45858a83f064@changeid Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: hide scan internals

2025-07-09T09:52:35+00:00

Hide the internal scan fields from mac80211 and drivers, the 'notified' variable is for internal tracking, and the 'info' is output that's passed to cfg80211_scan_done() and stored only for delayed userspace notification.

wifi: cfg80211: sme: init n_channels before channels[] access

2024-12-06T09:45:22+00:00

With the __counted_by annocation in cfg80211_scan_request struct, the "n_channels" struct member must be set before accessing the "channels" array. Failing to do so will trigger a runtime warning when enabling CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Define a guard for the wiphy mutex, and use it in most code in cfg80211, though not all due to some interaction with RTNL and/or indentation.
