Introduce type-aware kmalloc-family helpers to replace the common idioms for single, array, and flexible object allocations: ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr), gfp); ptr = kcalloc(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp); ptr = kmalloc_array(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp); ptr = kcalloc(count, sizeof(*ptr), gfp); ptr = kmalloc(struct_size(ptr, flex_member, count), gfp); These become, respectively: kmalloc_obj(p, gfp); kzalloc_obj(p, count, gfp); kmalloc_obj(p, count, gfp); kzalloc_obj(p, count, gfp); kmalloc_obj(p, flex_member, count, gfp); These each return the size of the allocation, so that other common idioms can be converted easily as well. For example: info->size = struct_size(ptr, flex_member, count); ptr = kmalloc(info->size, gfp); becomes: info->size = kmalloc_obj(ptr, flex_member, count, gfp); Internal introspection of allocated type also becomes possible, allowing for alignment-aware choices and future hardening work. For example, adding __alignof(*ptr) as an argument to the internal allocators so that appropriate/efficient alignment choices can be made, or being able to correctly choose per-allocation offset randomization within a bucket that does not break alignment requirements. Additionally, once __builtin_set_counted_by() (or equivalent) is added by GCC and Clang, it will be possible to automatically set the counted member of a struct with a counted_by FAM, further eliminating open-coded redundant initializations: info->size = struct_size(ptr, flex_member, count); ptr = kmalloc(info->size, gfp); ptr->flex_count = count; becomes (i.e. unchanged from earlier example): info->size = kmalloc_obj(ptr, flex_member, count, gfp); Replacing all existing simple code patterns via Coccinelle[1] shows what could be replaced immediately (saving roughly 1,500 lines): 7040 files changed, 14128 insertions(+), 15557 deletions(-) Link: https://github.com/kees/kernel-tools/blob/trunk/coccinelle/examples/kmalloc_obj-assign-size.cocci [1] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Gustavo A.
