Everything else assumes it can't. It actually can be NULL, see tcp_make_synack(). At this moment code assumes that *either* (tp == NULL) or (tcprsk == NULL). > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 627 struct tcp_ao_info *ao_info; > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 628 > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 629 ao_info = rcu_dereference_check(tp->ao_info, > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 630 lockdep_sock_is_held(&tp->inet_conn.icsk_inet.sk)); > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 631 if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!ao_key || !ao_info || !ao_info->rnext_key)) > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 632 goto out_ao; > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 633 maclen = tcp_ao_maclen(ao_key); > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 634 *ptr++ = htonl((TCPOPT_AO << 24) | > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 635 (tcp_ao_len(ao_key) << 16) | > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 636 (ao_key->sndid << 8) | > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 637 (ao_info->rnext_key->rcvid)); > 85df6b860d509a9 Dmitry Safonov 2022-08-18 638 } > > "maclen" not initialized on else path. Patch 15 ("net/tcp: Wire TCP-AO to request sockets") adds + if (tcprsk) { + u8 aolen = tcprsk->maclen + sizeof(struct tcp_ao_hdr); + + maclen = tcprsk->maclen; + *ptr++ = htonl((TCPOPT_AO << 24) | (aolen << 16) | + (tcprsk->ao_keyid << 8) | + (tcprsk->ao_rcv_next)); + } Assuming that tp != NULL OR tcprsk != NULL, maclen is always initialized _after both patches_. For version 2, I'll make it (break patches) in more bisect-able way for static analyzers and do WARN_ON(tp == NULL && tcprsk == NULL) with break off TCP-AO signing to make sure the assumption will be valid with the code changing later on.
