Trivial conflicts in net/can/isotp.c and tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp/mptcp_connect.sh scaled_ppm_to_ppb() was moved from drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c to include/linux/ptp_clock_kernel.h in -next so re-apply the fix there. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

rtnetlink: avoid RCU read lock when holding RTNL

2021-05-10T21:33:10+00:00

When we call af_ops->set_link_af() we hold a RCU read lock as we retrieve af_ops from the RCU protected list, but this is unnecessary because we already hold RTNL lock, which is the writer lock for protecting rtnl_af_ops, so it is safer than RCU read lock. Similar for af_ops->validate_link_af(). This was not a problem until we begin to take mutex lock down the path of ->set_link_af() in __ipv6_dev_mc_dec() recently. We can just drop the RCU read lock there and assert RTNL lock.

ipv6: report errors for iftoken via netlink extack

2021-04-08T20:52:36+00:00

Setting iftoken can fail for several different reasons but there and there was no report to user as to the cause. Add netlink extended errors to the processing of the request. This requires adding additional argument through rtnl_af_ops set_link_af callback. Reported-by: Hongren Zheng Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Reviewed-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

xdp_umem.c had overlapping changes between the 64-bit math fix for the calculation of npgs and the removal of the zerocopy memory type which got rid of the chunk_size_nohdr member. The mlx5 Kconfig conflict is a case where we just take the net-next copy of the Kconfig entry dependency as it takes on the ESWITCH dependency by one level of indirection which is what the 'net' conflicting change is trying to ensure.

netns: enable to inherit devconf from current netns

2020-05-16T20:46:37+00:00

The goal is to be able to inherit the initial devconf parameters from the current netns, ie the netns where this new netns has been created. This is useful in a containers environment where /proc/sys is read only. For example, if a pod is created with specifics devconf parameters and has the capability to create netns, the user expects to get the same parameters than his 'init_net', which is not the real init_net in this case.

Pull in Christoph Hellwig's series that changes the sysctl's ->proc_handler methods to take kernel pointers instead. It gets rid of the set_fs address space overrides used by BPF. As per discussion, pull in the feature branch into bpf-next as it relates to BPF sysctl progs.
