Subject: [PATCH] rtnetlink: do_setlink: Use true struct sockaddr
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:04:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241217020441.work.066-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
Instead of a heap allocation use a stack allocated struct sockaddr, as
dev_set_mac_address_user() is the consumer (which uses a classic
struct sockaddr). Cap the copy to the minimum address size between
the incoming address and the traditional sa_data field itself.
Putting "sa" on the stack means it will get a reused stack slot since
it is smaller than other existing single-scope stack variables (like
the vfinfo array).
