From db243b796439c0caba47865564d8acd18a301d18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2021 15:45:36 -0500 Subject: net/ipv4/ipv6: Replace one-element arraya with flexible-array members MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2]. Use an anonymous union with a couple of anonymous structs in order to keep userspace unchanged and refactor the related code accordingly: $ pahole -C group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o struct group_filter { union { struct { __u32 gf_interface_aux; /* 0 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux; /* 8 128 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */ __u32 gf_fmode_aux; /* 136 4 */ __u32 gf_numsrc_aux; /* 140 4 */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1]; /* 144 128 */ }; /* 0 272 */ struct { __u32 gf_interface; /* 0 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group; /* 8 128 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */ __u32 gf_fmode; /* 136 4 */ __u32 gf_numsrc; /* 140 4 */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0]; /* 144 0 */ }; /* 0 144 */ }; /* 0 272 */ /* size: 272, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */ /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ }; $ pahole -C compat_group_filter net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.o struct compat_group_filter { union { struct { __u32 gf_interface_aux; /* 0 4 */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group_aux __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 4 128 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */ __u32 gf_fmode_aux; /* 132 4 */ __u32 gf_numsrc_aux; /* 136 4 */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 140 128 */ } __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 0 268 */ struct { __u32 gf_interface; /* 0 4 */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_group __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 4 128 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 4 bytes ago --- */ __u32 gf_fmode; /* 132 4 */ __u32 gf_numsrc; /* 136 4 */ struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage gf_slist_flex[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 140 0 */ } __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4))); /* 0 140 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(1))); /* 0 268 */ /* size: 268, cachelines: 5, members: 1 */ /* forced alignments: 1 */ /* last cacheline: 12 bytes */ } __attribute__((__packed__)); This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy().
