treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28Z

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

xfrm: skip templates check for packet offload tunnel mode

2026-02-02T07:15:38Z

In packet offload, hardware is responsible to check templates. The result of its operation is forwarded through secpath by relevant drivers. That secpath is actually removed in __xfrm_policy_check2(). In case packet is forwarded, this secpath is reset in RX, but pushed again to TX where policy is rechecked again against dummy secpath in xfrm_policy_ok(). Such situation causes to unexpected XfrmInTmplMismatch increase. As a solution, simply skip template mismatch check.

ipv4: Convert ->flowi4_tos to dscp_t.

2025-08-27T00:34:31Z

Convert the ->flowic_tos field of struct flowi_common from __u8 to dscp_t, rename it ->flowic_dscp and propagate these changes to struct flowi and struct flowi4. We've had several bugs in the past where ECN bits could interfere with IPv4 routing, because these bits were not properly cleared when setting ->flowi4_tos. These bugs should be fixed now and the dscp_t type has been introduced to ensure that variables carrying DSCP values don't accidentally have any ECN bits set. Several variables and structure fields have been converted to dscp_t already, but the main IPv4 routing structure, struct flowi4, is still using a __u8. To avoid any future regression, this patch converts it to dscp_t. There are many users to convert at once. Fortunately, around half of ->flowi4_tos users already have a dscp_t value at hand, which they currently convert to __u8 using inet_dscp_to_dsfield(). For all of these users, we just need to drop that conversion. But, although we try to do the __u8 <-> dscp_t conversions at the boundaries of the network or of user space, some places still store TOS/DSCP variables as __u8 in core networking code. Those can hardly be converted either because the data structure is part of UAPI or because the same variable or field is also used for handling ECN in other parts of the code. In all of these cases where we don't have a dscp_t variable at hand, we need to use inet_dsfield_to_dscp() when interacting with ->flowi4_dscp.

xfrm: Switch to skb_dstref_steal to clear dst_entry

2025-08-20T00:54:17Z

Going forward skb_dst_set will assert that skb dst_entry is empty during skb_dst_set. skb_dstref_steal is added to reset existing entry without doing refcnt. Switch to skb_dstref_steal in __xfrm_route_forward and add a comment on why it's safe to skip skb_dstref_restore.

xfrm: Sanitize marks before insert

2025-05-14T05:18:58Z

Prior to this patch, the mark is sanitized (applying the state's mask to the state's value) only on inserts when checking if a conflicting XFRM state or policy exists. We discovered in Cilium that this same sanitization does not occur in the hot-path __xfrm_state_lookup. In the hot-path, the sk_buff's mark is simply compared to the state's value: if ((mark & x->mark.m) != x->mark.v) continue; Therefore, users can define unsanitized marks (ex. 0xf42/0xf00) which will never match any packet. This commit updates __xfrm_state_insert and xfrm_policy_insert to store the sanitized marks, thus removing this footgun. This has the side effect of changing the ip output, as the returned mark will have the mask applied to it when printed.

xfrm: Migrate offload configuration

2025-04-17T09:00:03Z

Add hardware offload configuration to XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE using an option netlink attribute XFRMA_OFFLOAD_DEV. In the existing xfrm_state_migrate(), the xfrm_init_state() is called assuming no hardware offload by default. Even the original xfrm_state is configured with offload, the setting will be reset. If the device is configured with hardware offload, it's reasonable to allow the device to maintain its hardware offload mode. But the device will end up with offload disabled after receiving a migration event when the device migrates the connection from one netdev to another one. The devices that support migration may work with different underlying networks, such as mobile devices. The hardware setting should be forwarded to the different netdev based on the migration configuration. This change provides the capability for user space to migrate from one netdev to another.
