net-shapers: don't free reply skb after genlmsg_reply()

2026-03-11T02:29:09Z

genlmsg_reply() hands the reply skb to netlink, and netlink_unicast() consumes it on all return paths, whether the skb is queued successfully or freed on an error path. net_shaper_nl_get_doit() and net_shaper_nl_cap_get_doit() currently jump to free_msg after genlmsg_reply() fails and call nlmsg_free(msg), which can hit the same skb twice. Return the genlmsg_reply() error directly and keep free_msg only for pre-reply failures.

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

net: add netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() helpers

2025-01-16T03:13:33Z

Add helpers for locking the netdev instance, use it in drivers and the shaper code. This will make grepping for the lock usage much easier, as we extend the lock to cover more fields.

net-shapers: implement cap validation in the core

2024-10-10T15:30:23Z

Use the device capabilities to reject invalid attribute values before pushing them to the H/W. Note that validating the metric explicitly avoids NL_SET_BAD_ATTR() usage, to provide unambiguous error messages to the user. Validating the nesting requires the knowledge of the new parent for the given shaper; as such is a chicken-egg problem: to validate the leaf nesting we need to know the node scope, to validate the node nesting we need to know the leafs parent scope. To break the circular dependency, place the leafs nesting validation after the parsing.

net: shaper: implement introspection support

The netlink op is a simple wrapper around the device callback. Extend the existing fetch_dev() helper adding an attribute argument for the requested device. Reuse such helper in the newly implemented operation.
