Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 2/9] net: add sk_set_nospace() and sk_clear_nospace()
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:47:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924134729.2047213-3-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924134729.2047213-1-edumazet@google.com>
SOCK_NOSPACE lives in sk->sk_socket->flags and is manipulated from
about thirty places in the tree, all of them open coding the
sk->sk_socket dereference, some with a NULL check, some without,
and some reaching the struct socket by yet another path.
Add sk_set_nospace() and sk_clear_nospace() helpers and convert the
core networking setters and clearers to them; the following patches
convert the remaining subsystem callers so that
"git grep _bit(SOCK_NOSPACE" only reports the two helpers and the
remaining test_bit() sites.
Callers that had no NULL check are all called from user context with a
socket attached, so folding the check into the helpers only makes them
more robust.
No functional change intended.
This is a preparation patch: a following one gives TCP a cheaper
private copy of this bit, and needs a single choke point to keep it
in sync.
