Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. 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

udp_tunnel: use netdev_warn() instead of netdev_WARN()

2025-09-12T02:09:48+00:00

netdev_WARN() uses WARN/WARN_ON to print a backtrace along with file and line information. In this case, udp_tunnel_nic_register() returning an error is just a failed operation, not a kernel bug. udp_tunnel_nic_register() can fail due to a memory allocation failure (kzalloc() or udp_tunnel_nic_alloc()). This is a normal runtime error and not a kernel bug. Replace netdev_WARN() with netdev_warn() accordingly.

udp_tunnel: remove rtnl_lock dependency

2025-06-19T01:53:51+00:00

Drivers that are using ops lock and don't depend on RTNL lock still need to manage it because udp_tunnel's RTNL dependency. Introduce new udp_tunnel_nic_lock and use it instead of rtnl_lock. Drop non-UDP_TUNNEL_NIC_INFO_MAY_SLEEP mode from udp_tunnel infra (udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work needs to grab udp_tunnel_nic_lock mutex and might sleep). Cover more places in v4: - netlink - udp_tunnel_notify_add_rx_port (ndo_open) - triggers udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work - udp_tunnel_notify_del_rx_port (ndo_stop) - triggers udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work - udp_tunnel_get_rx_info (__netdev_update_features) - triggers NETDEV_UDP_TUNNEL_PUSH_INFO - udp_tunnel_drop_rx_info (__netdev_update_features) - triggers NETDEV_UDP_TUNNEL_DROP_INFO - udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf (ndo_open) - notifiers - udp_tunnel_nic_netdevice_event, depending on the event: - triggers NETDEV_UDP_TUNNEL_PUSH_INFO - triggers NETDEV_UDP_TUNNEL_DROP_INFO - ethnl_tunnel_info_reply_size - udp_tunnel_nic_set_port_priv (two intel drivers) Cc: Michael Chan Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250616162117.287806-4-stfomichev@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

udp_tunnel: Use flex array to simplify code

2023-10-03T09:39:34+00:00

'n_tables' is small, UDP_TUNNEL_NIC_MAX_TABLES = 4 as a maximum. So there is no real point to allocate the 'entries' pointers array with a dedicate memory allocation. Using a flexible array for struct udp_tunnel_nic->entries avoids the overhead of an additional memory allocation. This also saves an indirection when the array is accessed. Finally, __counted_by() can be used for run-time bounds checking if configured and supported by the compiler.

udp_tunnel: Add checks for nla_nest_start() in __udp_tunnel_nic_dump_write()

2022-11-29T16:44:24+00:00

As the nla_nest_start() may fail with NULL returned, the return value should be checked. Note that this is not a real bug, nothing will break here. The next nla_put() will fail as well and we'll bail (and nla_nest_cancel() can handle NULL). But we keep getting those "fixes" so whatever.

udp_tunnel: Fix end of loop test in udp_tunnel_nic_unregister()

2022-02-23T12:35:00+00:00

This test is checking if we exited the list via break or not. However if it did not exit via a break then "node" does not point to a valid udp_tunnel_nic_shared_node struct. It will work because of the way the structs are laid out it's the equivalent of "if (info->shared->udp_tunnel_nic_info != dev)" which will always be true, but it's not the right way to test.

udp_tunnel: Fix udp_tunnel_nic work-queue type

2021-09-13T11:38:45+00:00

Turn udp_tunnel_nic work-queue to an ordered work-queue. This queue holds the UDP-tunnel configuration commands of the different netdevs. When the netdevs are functions of the same NIC the order of execution may be crucial. Problem example: NIC with 2 PFs, both PFs declare offload quota of up to 3 UDP-ports. $ifconfig eth2 1.1.1.1/16 up $ip link add eth2_19503 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.2 dev eth2 dstport 19053 $ip link set dev eth2_19503 up $ip link add eth2_19504 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.3 dev eth2 dstport 19054 $ip link set dev eth2_19504 up $ip link add eth2_19505 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.4 dev eth2 dstport 19055 $ip link set dev eth2_19505 up $ip link add eth2_19506 type vxlan id 5049 remote 1.1.1.5 dev eth2 dstport 19056 $ip link set dev eth2_19506 up NIC RX port offload infrastructure offloads the first 3 UDP-ports (on all devices which sets NETIF_F_RX_UDP_TUNNEL_PORT feature) and not UDP-port 19056. So both PFs gets this offload configuration. $ip link set dev eth2_19504 down This triggers udp-tunnel-core to remove the UDP-port 19504 from offload-ports-list and offload UDP-port 19056 instead. In this scenario it is important that the UDP-port of 19504 will be removed from both PFs before trying to add UDP-port 19056. The NIC can stop offloading a UDP-port only when all references are removed. Otherwise the NIC may report exceeding of the offload quota.
