2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-02-21treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar typesKees Cook
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 <kees@kernel.org>
2026-02-12ovpn: set sk_user_data before overriding callbacksRalf Lici
During initialization, we override socket callbacks and set sk_user_data to an ovpn_socket instance. Currently, these two operations are decoupled: callbacks are overridden before sk_user_data is set. While existing callbacks perform safety checks for NULL or non-ovpn sk_user_data, this condition causes a "half-formed" state where valid packets arriving during attachment trigger error logs (e.g., "invoked on non ovpn socket"). Set sk_user_data before overriding the callbacks so that it can be accessed safely from them. Since we already check that the socket has no sk_user_data before setting it, this remains safe even if an interrupt accesses the socket after sk_user_data is set but before the callbacks are overridden. This also requires initializing all protocol-specific fields (such as tcp_tx_work and peer links) before calling ovpn_socket_attach, ensuring the ovpn_socket is fully formed before it becomes visible to any callback.

Here synchronize_rcu() is invoked, after which ovpn_sock->sock->sk becomes NULL, due to the concurrent socket closing triggered from userspace. After having invoked synchronize_rcu(), ovpn_socket_release() will attempt dereferencing ovpn_sock->sock->sk, triggering the crash reported above. The reason for accessing sk is that we need to retrieve its protocol and continue the cleanup routine accordingly. This crash can be easily produced by running openvpn userspace in client mode with `--keepalive 10 20`, while entirely omitting this option on the server side. After 20 seconds ovpn will assume the peer (server) to be dead, will start removing it and will notify userspace. The latter will receive the notification and close the transport socket, thus triggering the crash. To fix the race condition for good, we need to refactor struct ovpn_socket. Since ovpn is always only interested in the sock->sk member (struct sock *) we can directly hold a reference to it, raher than accessing it via its struct socket container. This means changing "struct socket *ovpn_socket->sock" to "struct sock *ovpn_socket->sk". While acquiring a reference to sk, we can increase its refcounter without affecting the socket close()/destroy() notification (which we rely on when userspace closes a socket we are using). By increasing sk's refcounter we know we can dereference it in ovpn_socket_release() without incurring in any race condition anymore. ovpn_socket_release() will ultimately decrease the reference counter.

2025-04-17ovpn: implement TCP transportAntonio Quartulli
With this change ovpn is allowed to communicate to peers also via TCP. Parsing of incoming messages is implemented through the strparser API. Note that ovpn redefines sk_prot and sk_socket->ops for the TCP socket used to communicate with the peer. For this reason it needs to access inet6_stream_ops, which is declared as extern in the IPv6 module, but it is not fully exported. Therefore this patch is also adding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(inet6_stream_ops) to net/ipv6/af_inet6.c.

2025-04-17ovpn: introduce the ovpn_socket objectAntonio Quartulli
This specific structure is used in the ovpn kernel module to wrap and carry around a standard kernel socket. ovpn takes ownership of passed sockets and therefore an ovpn specific objects is attached to them for status tracking purposes. Initially only UDP support is introduced. TCP will come in a later patch.
