Subject: [PATCH can-next v4 3/5] can: proc: remove pointers from CAN specific proc output
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:27:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019152741.54854-4-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019152741.54854-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net>
The proc content in /proc/net/can/ and /proc/net/can-bcm/ is intended to
check the internal filter lists (af_can, can_raw) and the efficiency and
functionality of can_bcm jobs. While exposing kernel addresses was
acceptable when this code was written the times have changed and multiple
attempts have been made to hash or remove such now sensitive data.
This patch removes the disclosure of pointers and instead provides the
function names and sock inode numbers when available. When the function
name can not be resolved (e.g. KALLSYMS=n or stripped module symbols)
%ps would fall back to the raw text address. Therefore (unknown) is
printed instead in this case. As there's no known tooling around the CAN
specific proc output breaking the ABI with this rework creates no issue.

As described in :ref:`socketcan-receive-lists` the SocketCAN core uses several filter
lists to deliver received CAN frames to CAN protocol modules. These
receive lists, their filters and the count of filter matches can be
checked in the appropriate receive list. All entries contain the
-device and a protocol module identifier::
+CAN network device, the filter (can_id/can_mask), the number of filter
+matches, the inode number of the subscribing socket and the name of the
+receive function. A sock_inode of 0 denotes a kernel internal subscriber
+without a socket (e.g. CAN gateway or J1939). When the function name can
+not be resolved (e.g. with CONFIG_KALLSYMS=n) "(unknown)" is printed::
foo@bar:~$ cat /proc/net/can/rcvlist_all
receive list 'rx_all':
- (vcan3: no entry)
- (vcan2: no entry)
- (vcan1: no entry)
- device can_id can_mask function userdata matches ident
- vcan0 000 00000000 f88e6370 f6c6f400 0 raw
(any: no entry)
+ device can_id can_mask matches sock_inode function
+ vcan0 000 00000000 0 63586 raw_rcv [can_raw]
+ (vcan1: no entry)
+ (vcan2: no entry)
+ (vcan3: no entry)
In this example an application requests any CAN traffic from vcan0::
rcvlist_all - list for unfiltered entries (no filter operations)
rcvlist_eff - list for single extended frame (EFF) entries
