2026-01-22net: bonding: use workqueue to make sure peer notify updated in lacp modeTonghao Zhang
The rtnl lock might be locked, preventing ad_cond_set_peer_notif() from acquiring the lock and updating send_peer_notif. This patch addresses the issue by using a workqueue. Since updating send_peer_notif does not require high real-time performance, such delayed updates are entirely acceptable. In fact, checking this value and using it in multiple places, all operations are protected at the same time by rtnl lock, such as - read send_peer_notif - send_peer_notif-- - bond_should_notify_peers By the way, rtnl lock is still required, when accessing bond.params.* for updating send_peer_notif. In lacp mode, resetting send_peer_notif in workqueue is safe, simple and effective way. Additionally, this patch introduces bond_peer_notify_may_events(), which is used to check whether an event should be sent. This function will be used in both patch 1 and 2.

Due to a (harmeless) bug we remained in slow paranoia mode until a successful transaction completes. 2) Allow generic tracker to resolve clashes, this avoids very rare packet drops. From Yuto Hamaguchi. 3) Increase the cleanup budget to 64 entries in nf_conncount to reap more entries in one go, from Fernando Fernandez Mancera. 4) Allow icmp trackers to resolve clashes, this avoids very rare initial packet drop with test cases that have high-frequency pings. After this all trackers except tcp and sctp allow clash resolution. 5) Disentangle netfilter headers, don't include nftables/xtables headers in subsystems that are unrelated. 6) Don't rely on implicit includes coming from nf_conntrack_proto_gre.h. 7) Allow nfnetlink_queue nfq instance struct to get accounted via memcg, from Scott Mitchell. 8) Reject bogus xt target/match data upfront via netlink policiy in nft_compat interface rather than relying on x_tables API to do it. 9) Fix nf_conncount breakage when trying to limit loopback flows via prerouting rule, from Fernando Fernandez Mancera. This is a recent breakage but not seen as urgent enough to rush this via net tree at this late stage in development cycle. 10) Fix a possible off-by-one when parsing tcp option in xtables tcpmss match.

Pavel Begunkov says: ==================== Add support for providers with large rx buffer Many modern NICs support configurable receive buffer lengths, and zcrx and memory providers can use buffers larger than 4K to improve performance. When paired with hw-gro larger rx buffer sizes can drastically reduce the number of buffers traversing the stack and save a lot of processing time. It also allows to give to users larger contiguous chunks of data. Single stream benchmarks showed up to ~30% CPU util improvement. E.g. comparison for 4K vs 32K buffers using a 200Gbit NIC: packets=23987040 (MB=2745098), rps=199559 (MB/s=22837) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 1.53 0.00 27.78 2.72 1.31 66.45 0.22 packets=24078368 (MB=2755550), rps=200319 (MB/s=22924) CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %idle 0 0.69 0.00 8.26 31.65 1.83 57.00 0.57 This series adds net infrastructure for memory providers configuring the size and implements it for bnxt. It's an opt-in feature for drivers, they should advertise support for the parameter in the qops and must check if the hardware supports the given size. It's limited to memory providers as it drastically simplifies implementation. It doesn't affect the fast path zcrx uAPI, and the user exposed parameter is defined in zcrx terms, which allows it to be flexible and adjusted in the future.

2026-01-20netfilter: nf_conncount: increase the connection clean up limit to 64Fernando Fernandez Mancera
After the optimization to only perform one GC per jiffy, a new problem was introduced. If more than 8 new connections are tracked per jiffy the list won't be cleaned up fast enough possibly reaching the limit wrongly. In order to prevent this issue, only skip the GC if it was already triggered during the same jiffy and the increment is lower than the clean up limit. In addition, increase the clean up limit to 64 connections to avoid triggering GC too often and do more effective GCs. This has been tested using a HTTP server and several performance tools while having nft_connlimit/xt_connlimit or OVS limit configured. Output of slowhttptest + OVS limit at 52000 connections: slow HTTP test status on 340th second: initializing: 0 pending: 432 connected: 51998 error: 0 closed: 0 service available: YES Fixes: d265929930e2 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC") Reported-by: Aleksandra Rukomoinikova <ARukomoinikova@k2.cloud> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netfilter/b2064e7b-0776-4e14-adb6-c68080987471@k2.cloud/ Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
2026-01-20net: Proxy net_mp_{open,close}_rxq for leased queuesDavid Wei
When a process in a container wants to setup a memory provider, it will use the virtual netdev and a leased rxq, and call net_mp_{open,close}_rxq to try and restart the queue. At this point, proxy the queue restart on the real rxq in the physical netdev. For memory providers (io_uring zero-copy rx and devmem), it causes the real rxq in the physical netdev to be filled from a memory provider that has DMA mapped memory from a process within a container.

For the queue-get we do not lock both devices. When queues get {un,}leased, both devices are locked, thus if __netif_get_rx_queue_peer() returns true, the peer pointer points to a valid device. The netns-id is fetched via peernet2id_alloc() similarly as done in OVS.

2026-01-20wifi: cfg80211: ignore link disabled flag from userspaceBenjamin Berg
When the AP has an advertised TID to Link Mapping (TTLM) it shall include the element in the association response. As such, when this element is present it needs to be used for the currently dormant links. See Draft P802.11REVmf_D1.0 section 35.3.7.2.3 ("Negotiation of TTLM") for the details. The flag is also not usable in case userspace wants to specify a negotiated TTLM during association. Note that for the link reconfiguration case, mac80211 did not use the information. Draft P802.11REVmf_D1.0 states in section 35.3.6.4 ("Link reconfiguration to the setup links) that we "shall operate with all the TIDs mapped to the newly added links ..." All this means that the flag is not needed. The implementation should parse the information from the association response.

2026-01-15xsk: move cq_cached_prod_lock to avoid touching a cacheline in sending pathJason Xing
We (Paolo and I) noticed that in the sending path touching an extra cacheline due to cq_cached_prod_lock will impact the performance. After moving the lock from struct xsk_buff_pool to struct xsk_queue, the performance is increased by ~5% which can be observed by xdpsock. An alternative approach [1] can be using atomic_try_cmpxchg() to have the same effect. But unfortunately I don't have evident performance numbers to prove the atomic approach is better than the current patch.

2026-01-14wifi: mac80211: allow key installation before associationKavita Kavita
Currently, mac80211 allows key installation only after association completes. However, Enhanced Privacy Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE) requires key installation before association to enable encryption and decryption of (Re)Association Request and Response frames. Add support to install keys prior to association when the peer is an Enhanced Privacy Protection (EPP) peer that requires encryption and decryption of (Re)Association Request and Response frames. Introduce a new boolean parameter "epp_peer" in the "ieee80211_sta" profile to indicate that the peer supports the Enhanced Privacy Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE) protocol. For non-AP STA mode, it is set when the authentication algorithm is WLAN_AUTH_EPPKE during station profile initialization. For AP mode, it is set during NL80211_CMD_NEW_STA and NL80211_CMD_ADD_LINK_STA. When "epp_peer" parameter is set, mac80211 now accepts keys before association and enables encryption of the (Re)Association Request/Response frames.

In blamed commit, I added a check against the temporary queue built in __dev_xmit_skb(). Idea was to drop packets early, before any spinlock was acquired. if (unlikely(defer_count > READ_ONCE(q->limit))) { kfree_skb_reason(skb, SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP); return NET_XMIT_DROP; } It turned out that HTB Qdisc has a zero q->limit. HTB limits packets on a per-class basis. Some of our tests became flaky. Add a new sysctl : net.core.qdisc_max_burst to control how many packets can be stored in the temporary lockless queue. Also add a new QDISC_BURST_DROP drop reason to better diagnose future issues. Thanks Neal !

RTL8127ATF supports a SFP+ port for fiber modules (10GBASE-SR/LR/ER/ZR and DAC). The list of supported modes was provided by Realtek. According to the r8127 vendor driver also 1G modules are supported, but this needs some more complexity in the driver, and only 10G mode has been tested so far. Therefore mainline support will be limited to 10G for now. The SFP port signals are hidden in the chip IP and driven by firmware. Therefore mainline SFP support can't be used here. This PHY driver is used by the RTL8127ATF support in r8169. RTL8127ATF reports the same PHY ID as the TP version. Therefore use a dummy PHY ID.

Currently, whenever cfg80211_stop_iface() is called, the entire iface is stopped. However, there could be a need in AP/P2P_GO mode, where one would like to stop a single link in MLO operation instead of the whole MLD interface. Hence, introduce cfg80211_stop_link() to allow drivers to tear down only a specified AP/P2P_GO link during MLO operation. Passing -1 preserves the existing behavior of stopping the whole interface. Make cfg80211_stop_iface() call this function by passing -1 to keep the default behavior the same, that is, to stop all links and use cfg80211_stop_link() with the desired link_id for AP/P2P_GO mode, to stop only that link. This brings no behavioral change for single-link/non-MLO interfaces, and enables drivers to stop an AP/P2P_GO link without disrupting other links on the same interface.

2025-12-23net: dsa: properly keep track of conduit referenceVladimir Oltean
Problem description ------------------- DSA has a mumbo-jumbo of reference handling of the conduit net device and its kobject which, sadly, is just wrong and doesn't make sense. There are two distinct problems. 1. The OF path, which uses of_find_net_device_by_node(), never releases the elevated refcount on the conduit's kobject. Nominally, the OF and non-OF paths should result in objects having identical reference counts taken, and it is already suspicious that dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a put_device() call which is missing in dsa_port_parse_of(), but we can actually even verify that an issue exists. With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, if we run this command "before" and "after" applying this patch: (unbind the conduit driver for net device eno2) echo 0000:00:00.2 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/fsl_enetc/unbind we see these lines in the output diff which appear only with the patch applied: kobject: 'eno2' (ffff002009a3a6b8): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000) kobject: '109' (ffff0020099d59a0): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000) 2. After we find the conduit interface one way (OF) or another (non-OF), it can get unregistered at any time, and DSA remains with a long-lived, but in this case stale, cpu_dp->conduit pointer. Holding the net device's underlying kobject isn't actually of much help, it just prevents it from being freed (but we never need that kobject directly). What helps us to prevent the net device from being unregistered is the parallel netdev reference mechanism (dev_hold() and dev_put()). Actually we actually use that netdev tracker mechanism implicitly on user ports since commit 2f1e8ea726e9 ("net: dsa: link interfaces with the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings"), via netdev_upper_dev_link(). But time still passes at DSA switch probe time between the initial of_find_net_device_by_node() code and the user port creation time, time during which the conduit could unregister itself and DSA wouldn't know about it. So we have to run of_find_net_device_by_node() under rtnl_lock() to prevent that from happening, and release the lock only with the netdev tracker having acquired the reference. Do we need to keep the reference until dsa_unregister_switch() / dsa_switch_shutdown()? 1: Maybe yes. A switch device will still be registered even if all user ports failed to probe, see commit 86f8b1c01a0a ("net: dsa: Do not make user port errors fatal"), and the cpu_dp->conduit pointers remain valid. I haven't audited all call paths to see whether they will actually use the conduit in lack of any user port, but if they do, it seems safer to not rely on user ports for that reference. 2. Definitely yes. We support changing the conduit which a user port is associated to, and we can get into a situation where we've moved all user ports away from a conduit, thus no longer hold any reference to it via the net device tracker. But we shouldn't let it go nonetheless - see the next change in relation to dsa_tree_find_first_conduit() and LAG conduits which disappear. We have to be prepared to return to the physical conduit, so the CPU port must explicitly keep another reference to it. This is also to say: the user ports and their CPU ports may not always keep a reference to the same conduit net device, and both are needed. As for the conduit's kobject for the /sys/class/net/ entry, we don't care about it, we can release it as soon as we hold the net device object itself. History and blame attribution ----------------------------- The code has been refactored so many times, it is very difficult to follow and properly attribute a blame, but I'll try to make a short history which I hope to be correct. We have two distinct probing paths: - one for OF, introduced in 2016 in commit 83c0afaec7b7 ("net: dsa: Add new binding implementation") - one for non-OF, introduced in 2017 in commit 71e0bbde0d88 ("net: dsa: Add support for platform data") These are both complete rewrites of the original probing paths (which used struct dsa_switch_driver and other weird stuff, instead of regular devices on their respective buses for register access, like MDIO, SPI, I2C etc): - one for OF, introduced in 2013 in commit 5e95329b701c ("dsa: add device tree bindings to register DSA switches") - one for non-OF, introduced in 2008 in commit 91da11f870f0 ("net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support") except for tiny bits and pieces like dsa_dev_to_net_device() which were seemingly carried over since the original commit, and used to this day. The point is that the original probing paths received a fix in 2015 in the form of commit 679fb46c5785 ("net: dsa: Add missing master netdev dev_put() calls"), but the fix never made it into the "new" (dsa2) probing paths that can still be traced to today, and the fixed probing path was later deleted in 2019 in commit 93e86b3bc842 ("net: dsa: Remove legacy probing support"). That is to say, the new probing paths were never quite correct in this area. The existence of the legacy probing support which was deleted in 2019 explains why dsa_dev_to_net_device() returns a conduit with elevated refcount (because it was supposed to be released during dsa_remove_dst()). After the removal of the legacy code, the only user of dsa_dev_to_net_device() calls dev_put(conduit) immediately after this function returns. This pattern makes no sense today, and can only be interpreted historically to understand why dev_hold() was there in the first place. Change details -------------- Today we have a better netdev tracking infrastructure which we should use. Logically netdev_hold() belongs in common code (dsa_port_parse_cpu(), where dp->conduit is assigned), but there is a tradeoff to be made with the rtnl_lock() section which would become a bit too long if we did that - dsa_port_parse_cpu() also calls request_module(). So we duplicate a bit of logic in order for the callers of dsa_port_parse_cpu() to be the ones responsible of holding the conduit reference and releasing it on error. This shortens the rtnl_lock() section significantly. In the dsa_switch_probe() error path, dsa_switch_release_ports() will be called in a number of situations, one being where dsa_port_parse_cpu() maybe didn't get the chance to run at all (a different port failed earlier, etc). So we have to test for the conduit being NULL prior to calling netdev_put(). There have still been so many transformations to the code since the blamed commits (rename master -> conduit, commit 0650bf52b31f ("net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown")), that it only makes sense to fix the code using the best methods available today and see how it can be backported to stable later. I suspect the fix cannot even be backported to kernels which lack dsa_switch_shutdown(), and I suspect this is also maybe why the long-lived conduit reference didn't make it into the new DSA probing paths at the time (problems during shutdown). Because dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a single call site and has to be changed anyway, the logic was just absorbed into the non-OF dsa_port_parse(). Tested on the ocelot/felix switch and on dsa_loop, both on the NXP LS1028A with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y.

2025-12-15netfilter: nf_tables: avoid chain re-validation if possibleFlorian Westphal
Hamza Mahfooz reports cpu soft lock-ups in nft_chain_validate(): watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 27s!

But there are cases where we could avoid revalidation. Consider: 1 input -> j2 -> j3 2 input -> j2 -> j3 3 input -> j1 -> j2 -> j3 Then the second rule does not need to revalidate j2, and, by extension j3, because this was already checked during validation of the first rule. We need to validate it only for rule 3. This is needed because chain loop detection also ensures we do not exceed the jump stack: Just because we know that j2 is cycle free, its last jump might now exceed the allowed stack size. We also need to update all reachable chains with the new largest observed call depth. Care has to be taken to revalidate even if the chain depth won't be an issue: chain validation also ensures that expressions are not called from invalid base chains. For example, the masquerade expression can only be called from NAT postrouting base chains. Therefore we also need to keep record of the base chain context (type, hooknum) and revalidate if the chain becomes reachable from a different hook location.

2025-12-10inet: frags: flush pending skbs in fqdir_pre_exit()Jakub Kicinski
We have been seeing occasional deadlocks on pernet_ops_rwsem since September in NIPA. The stuck task was usually modprobe (often loading a driver like ipvlan), trying to take the lock as a Writer. lockdep does not track readers for rwsems so the read wasn't obvious from the reports. On closer inspection the Reader holding the lock was conntrack looping forever in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(). Based on past experience with occasional NIPA crashes I looked thru the tests which run before the crash and noticed that the crash follows ip_defrag.sh. An immediate red flag. Scouring thru (de)fragmentation queues reveals skbs sitting around, holding conntrack references. The problem is that since conntrack depends on nf_defrag_ipv6, nf_defrag_ipv6 will load first. Since nf_defrag_ipv6 loads first its netns exit hooks run _after_ conntrack's netns exit hook. Flush all fragment queue SKBs during fqdir_pre_exit() to release conntrack references before conntrack cleanup runs. Also flush the queues in timer expiry handlers when they discover fqdir->dead is set, in case packet sneaks in while we're running the pre_exit flush. The commit under Fixes is not exactly the culprit, but I think previously the timer firing would eventually unblock the spinning conntrack.

Instead of exporting inet_frag_rbtree_purge() which requires that caller takes care of memory accounting, add a new helper. We will need to call it from a few places in the next patch.
