net: remove sock_i_uid()

2025-06-24T00:04:03Z

Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk->sk_uid value. None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this. Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined. Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and can not see the full benefit yet.

net/tipc: make use of the helper macro LIST_HEAD()

2024-09-07T01:10:21Z

list_head can be initialized automatically with LIST_HEAD() instead of calling INIT_LIST_HEAD(). Here we can simplify the code. Signed-off-by: Hongbo Li Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240904093243.3345012-3-lihongbo22@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

kernel-wide: fix spelling mistakes like "assocative" -> "associative"

2024-06-29T02:36:28Z

There were several instances of the string "assocat" in the kernel, which should have been spelled "associat", with the various endings of -ive, -ed, -ion, and sometimes beginnging with dis-. Add to the spelling dictionary the corrections so that future instances will be caught by checkpatch, and fix the instances found. Originally noticed by accident with a 'git grep socat'.

net: change proto and proto_ops accept type

2024-05-14T00:19:09Z

Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument. This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being able to pass back more information. No functional changes in this patch. Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

tipc: remove redundant assignment to ret, simplify code

2024-04-13T02:07:31Z

Variable err is being assigned a zero value and it is never read afterwards in either the break path or continue path, the assignment is redundant and can be removed. With it removed, the if statement can also be simplified.

Remove ->sendpage() and ->sendpage_locked(). sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead. This allows multiple pages and multipage folios to be passed through.

net: deal with most data-races in sk_wait_event()

2023-05-10T09:03:32Z

__condition is evaluated twice in sk_wait_event() macro. First invocation is lockless, and reads can race with writes, as spotted by syzbot.
