git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "This includes a significant number of low-priority fixes - especially in the NIC drivers area - that we deferred from the last few RCs in the previous cycle, which can't be easily outlined in the synopsis below. Core & protocols: - Continue the work on removing rtnl_lock dependencies: - per-netns ARP and ND neighbour tables, with the default settings now configurable per netns (inheritance from init_net is controlled by the new net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net sysctl) - RCU-protected configuration and rtnl_lock-less fill_info() for hsr, netkit, sit, vlan and vxlan devices - per-netns device unregistration for ip tunnel and gre devices - use the netdev instance lock instead of rtnl_lock when reading speed and duplex via sysfs - batch the flushing of uncached routes at device unregistration time, relieving rtnl_lock contention on netns dismantle. - Add hardware pacing offload support, admin-controlled via a new rtnetlink attribute, with sch_fq integration (implemented in idpf). - Re-segment BIG TCP GSO packets into GSO packets fitting the egress device limits instead of plain MSS-sized segments, improving throughput for mixed BIG TCP / non-BIG TCP paths by up to 70%. - Generate RSS keys that spread flows over all the RX queues; the previous random keys could leave some queues unused. - Optimize the bridge VLAN forwarding paths: cache the port-VLAN in fdb entries and consider only VLAN members when flooding, for ~10% more Mpps in the fdb forwarding path. - A few TCP/IP performance improvements aimed at efficient cache usage and reducing contention. - Add the TCP ROCCET congestion control, a CUBIC variant aimed at avoiding bufferbloat in cellular networks. - Continue the conversion of getsockopt callbacks to sockopt_t. - Add an ethtool command to list the front-facing ports of an interface, including SFP cages and modules, using the phy_port representation. - Enable BIG TCP support for bareudp tunnels. - Remove the IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and disallow buggy TCP state transitions (listen() + shutdown() + connect() and connect() + connect(AF_UNSPEC) + listen()). - Remove most BUG_ON()s from core packet processing, replacing them with error paths. Wireless: - Latency improvements, including lockless station get/dump and beacon updates, plus RTNL reduction and locking cleanups. - Infrastructure for non-station TX/RX with MLO. - NAN (Wi-Fi Aware) Instant Communication support and other NAN improvements. - Control frame Integrity Protocol (CIP) and protected TWT support. - Improvements for AP regulatory checks. Netfilter: - Disable br_netfilter in user namespaces and schedule it for removal in 2027. - Restrict the raw table in nft_compat to the specific family, hook and priority. - Prepare the flowtable for mixed IPv4-over-IPv6 tunneling (and vice versa). - Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for most netfilter allocations, for better integration with memcg. - Allow discovering conntrack zone filtering support in ctnetlink dumps, and fix nfnetlink_hook handling of large dumps. Deletions: - Move the LLC type 2 sockets out of tree. There are no known users and the code attracts a never-ending stream of LLM-driven fixes.

3 daysMerge __{get,put}_user() removal branchLinus Torvalds
This is long over-due: the __get_user() and __put_user() functions are entirely historical, and are never the rigth thing to use any more. And when mis-used (read: every case) they are not only slower than the right thing, but also insecure because they don't check the user address range. Most of the usage sites have been converted long ago, but various left-overs remained. So this started out as a single patch that I wrote as a "show people how to convert __{get,put}_user() to modern code". In particular, Thomas last year implemented the very nice new scoped user access region helpers (see commit e497310b4ffb: "uaccess: Provide scoped user access regions") that makes the modern interfaces particularly easy to use and really removes any excuse for the old horrors. That small example patch then grew to this, partly using Claude as a glorified coccinelle script to apply the pattern to other places. There were a few different reasons for using __put_user() and __get_user() rather than the alternatives, but the original historical one was performance: when doing multiple accesses off the same base pointer, doing a single range check followed by multiple non-checked accesses used to create smaller and faster code. The keyword here is "used to". It hasn't been true for years, because the range check isn't actually the real cost these days. The real cost of user accesses on modern hardware is turning the user accesses on and off in the first place (on x86, using the STAC/CLAC instructions). Those sequences get turned into 'scoped_user_read_access() { }' blocks, see for example that first patch in the series: "signal: use scoped user access for old-style sigaction". Another, historical reason for using __get_user() and friends is that you actually want to do a kernel pointer access, but the pointer might not be entirely reliable (typically during fault handling), so you want to have exception handling for the kernel access. The modern way to do that kind of non-faulting kernel access is using "get_kernel_nofault()", but some code predates that helper existing at all, and used __get_user() as a way to just get a memory access with exception handling. For that pattern, see for example "alpha: use get_kernel_nofault() in dik_show_code()" A third bad reason for using __get_user() and friends was that the proper get_user() had a "might_fault()" in it, and code that ran in atomic regions but hadn't disabled page faults would result in a warning. That kind of code needs to explicitly disable page faults, because "atomic region" is not well defined at run-time and can be invisible (eg a preempt-off region in a non-preemptible kernel). See "vdpa_sim: disable page faults around vringh_need_notify_iotlb()" for an example of that pattern, where the local_bh_disable() now also grows a pagefault_disable(), which makes the normal get_user() no longer warn about the user access in non-process context, because it can see that the potential page fault will not cause problems. And finally, the really nasty reason to use __get_user() and friends: pointers that can be either kernel pointers or user pointers. We've gotten rid of almost all such cases, but a couple remained. See for example "x86/sev: Use explicit user-or-kernel accessors for #VC memory operands". NOTE! This series removes all __get/put_user() calls from generic code but only does the final removal of the whole interface on x86. Other architectures have not been entirely converted, for a variety of reasons: - arm64 makes __{get,put}_user() be exactly the same as {get,put}_user() so it's harmless and didn't have the dangers of the legacy use cases. - any architecture that uses <asm-generic/uaccess.h> will still use __{get,put}_user as the underlying helper function name - several architectures had some legacy uses that weren't entirely trivial and I didn't want to extend this patch series to things that I don't know and that don't really matter. but I did do a couple of the obvious "follows the exact same pattern" just because it could be done mindlessly and automatically. Let's see if I broke anything, but we should have done this years ago. * uaccess-cleanups: (48 commits) drm/i915/gem: ignore errors on presumed_offset write-back powerpc/align: use get_user_instr() for a user-mode instruction powerpc/signal64: use scoped user access in setup_trampoline() powerpc/signal64: use get_user() for the single context reads powerpc/signal32: use get_user() for the single context reads KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: use get_user()/put_user() for the HPT fd powerpc/powernv: use get_user()/put_user() in the LPC debugfs files s390: use get_user()/put_user() instead of the unchecked variants ARM: OABI: use scoped user access in epoll_put_uevent() ARM: signal: stop using __put_user() for the signal frame ARM: signal: check the FDPIC function descriptor address alpha: split the prefetch check in do_page_fault() by mode openrisc: use get_kernel_nofault() in show_registers() alpha: use get_kernel_nofault() in dik_show_code() nios2: use scoped user access for the signal frame nios2: check the signal frame address before writing to it hexagon: use scoped user access for the signal frame alpha: use scoped user access when setting up signal frames alpha: use scoped user access in the sigreturn path alpha: use scoped user access in osf_sigaction() ...
5 daysnet: use put_user() for msghdr results written back to user spaceLinus Torvalds
____sys_recvmsg() writes msg_flags and msg_controllen back with __put_user(), and the compat sendmmsg()/recvmmsg() loops write msg_len the same way. None of these has an access_ok() of its own: they rely on the earlier copy_from_user() of the message header having checked the range. For the compat msg_len that is not even true, since msg_len lives after the compat_msghdr that was copied. It is only safe because compat pointers are 32-bit. The native mmsg paths already use put_user(). Use put_user() everywhere. On x86 that adds a couple of instructions to check the address, on a path that has to enable and disable user access for each write anyway. This is part of getting rid of __get_user() and __put_user() entirely. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-09-29net: downgrade BUG_ON EIOCBQUEUED in sock_sendmsg_nosecWillem de Bruijn
sock_sendmsg_nosec() runs in syscall context but calls BUG_ON() if proto_ops->sendmsg() returns -EIOCBQUEUED. Crashing the kernel on an unexpected return value is dangerous for production workloads. This risk is real: any signed integer overflow in a sendmsg handler that returns 0xfffffdef (-529, -EIOCBQUEUED) triggers this BUG_ON. In one month, two such bugs were reported in PF_PACKET, reachable by a local user with CAP_NET_RAW in a user namespace: - Commit 73e594c19b4f ("af_packet: Don't cast tpacket_hdr.tp_len to int in tpacket_parse_header().") - In review ("net/packet: prevent TX_RING byte count overflow") https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260925124829.6595-1-ilkka.lappetelainen@gmail.com/ Replace the BUG_ON with DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() to retain debug and syzbot coverage, and return -EIO so that -EIOCBQUEUED does not leak to userspace or trigger the BUG_ON(ret == -EIOCBQUEUED) in VFS callers of sock_write_iter() such as new_sync_write(). Failing gracefully is safe because the original reason for the BUG_ON is gone. It was added in commit 599bd19bdc4c ("fs: don't allow to complete sync iocbs through aio_complete") and commit d8725c86aeba ("get rid of the size argument of sock_sendmsg()") to prevent an async completion from corrupting a caller's on-stack kiocb. Commit 1b784140474e ("net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg") removed that on-stack kiocb. More recently commit fcc77d33a34c ("net: Remove support for AIO on sockets") removed socket AIO support entirely.

2026-09-23fs: port ->setattr() to pass const mnt_idmapChristian Brauner
Convert to const struct mnt_idmap. A mount's idmapping is immutable. The only thing that is allowed to be modified afterwards is the reference count and that is hidden behind mnt_idmap_get() and mnt_idmap_put(). Everything else only ever reads from the idmapping. This is the same model that struct cred uses and the idmapping is also rather sensitive. So make the idmap argument const wherever we can. The conversion is done from the bottom up so callers can continue to pass a non-const pointer to a const parameter until the conversion is finished. No functional changes.

2026-09-18net: add sockopt_expand_out()Breno Leitao
Some getsockopt options size their reply from a count the caller left in optval rather than from optlen, and so write past the optlen the caller declared. Userspace relies on that, so the sockopt_t conversion has to keep doing it. IP_MSFILTER is the first one to convert: its reply covers the imsf_numsrc sources the caller asked for, while optlen only has to cover the fixed header. Add sockopt_expand_out() to grow opt->iter_out mid-air, so the quirk sits in one place instead of each protocol assuming it implicitly. It is a no-op unless the reply outruns optlen. Growing re-anchors the iterator at the head of optval, so it has to be called before anything is written through iter_out. Only a user buffer can be longer than optlen says. A kernel-backed optval keeps the bounded iterator, and a callback that asks to grow one gets a WARN_ON_ONCE() and -EINVAL. Nothing in tree can trip that WARN: the only kernel-backed path into do_ip_getsockopt() is sol_ip_sockopt(), which takes IP_TOS and IP_TRANSPARENT only. It is an assert for the in-kernel callers BPF and io_uring gain once the conversion is done, so they declare an optlen covering the whole buffer instead of repeating the userspace mistake. The conversion in the next patch calls sockptr_to_sockopt() from net/ipv4/, so drop its static and declare it in net.h.

2026-09-16net: preserve socketpair output on setup failureSteve Grubb
socketpair() writes the reserved descriptor numbers to userspace before creating the sockets and their file objects. A later failure therefore leaves a modified caller's array despite returning an error, contrary to POSIX. For example, socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, -1, fd) returns EPROTONOSUPPORT but replaces the array's sentinel values with unused fd numbers. Defer the output stores until both file objects have been created, before installing either descriptor. If a store faults, drop both file references before releasing the reserved descriptor slots. Keep the early descriptor reservation and the existing setup-failure cleanup paths. In practice, I doubt anyone notices. But this aligns with the expected behavior Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/JyK226D0S5CWGUpAC4MO4A@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2026-06-29fs: Add bpf_sock_read_xattr() kfunc to read socket xattrsChristian Brauner
In c8db08110cbe ("Merge tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs") we added support for extended attributes for sockets. This comes in two flavors: sockfs and non-sockfs/filesystem sockets. Filesystem sockets are actual filesystem objects so reading xattrs must use dedicated fs helpers such as bpf_get_dentry_xattr() and bpf_get_file_xattr(). Those are inherently sleeping operations. Sockfs sockets on the other hand don't need to use sleeping operations as the underlying data structure is lockless. In addition, retrieval of sockfs extended attributes often happens from LSM hooks that only provide struct socket and it's completely nonsensical to grab a reference to a file, then force a sleeping operation to retrieve the xattr and drop the reference. We know that the sockfs file cannot go away while the LSM hook runs. This series adds a bpf_sock_read_xattr() kfunc that, given a struct socket, reads a user.* extended attribute from the socket's sockfs inode into a bpf_dynptr. Together with fsetxattr() from userspace this lets a process label a socket with a user.* xattr and have a BPF LSM program retrieve that label locklessly. The kfunc mirrors the existing bpf_cgroup_read_xattr(), including the restriction to the user.* namespace. systemd uses user.* xattrs on sockets to implement socket rate limiting and to tag sockets for other purposes [1] such as implementing a varlink registry. There is currently no efficient way for a BPF program to read those labels back. The new helper allows a listening socket marked with an extended attribute to be read back during bind/connect and then act on the connect()ing socket. Extended attributes make it possible to allow an unprivileged user manager such as systemd --user to mark sockets from userspace and then rediscover them or implement policies. The kfunc is registered KF_RCU and only for BPF LSM programs. A struct socket is only guaranteed to live in sockfs when an LSM socket hook hands it out, which is what keeps SOCK_INODE() valid. Sockets that embed struct socket outside sockfs (tun, tap) are only reachable from tracing programs and are excluded by the registration. (Btw, for consistency it would be nice to force allocation of struct socket from sockfs instead of simply embedding it in e.g., struct tun_file which makes the SOCKFS_I() pattern a hazard - at least outside of sockfs functions.) The read never sleeps and takes no lock. For sockfs the value lives in the inode's in-memory xattr store and simple_xattr_get() resolves it with an RCU-protected rhashtable lookup, taking neither the inode lock nor any xattr lock. The kfunc is therefore usable from both sleepable and non-sleepable LSM hooks.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues. In this chapter: - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal - Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU. It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock. - Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior. - Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement. - Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit timeout. - Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic. - Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos. - Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256. - Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option, because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40). - Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6). - Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments). - Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address. - Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()). - Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2). - Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit). - Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies. The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors. The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration. - Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE. - Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter. Cross-tree stuff: - Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects. - Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global crypto API as obsolete and insecure. Wireless: - Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower capability than AP. - Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed). - More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast, schedule improvements, multi-station etc.) - Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support). - Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs. Netfilter: - Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces. - Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy. Deletions: - Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it). - Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the vendor that added this are AWOL. - Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits. - Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository. - Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely, soon. - Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211.

2026-06-09net: guard timestamp cmsgs to real error queue skbsKyle Zeng
skb_is_err_queue() treats PACKET_OUTGOING as the sole marker for an skb from sk_error_queue. That assumption is not true for AF_PACKET sockets: outgoing packet taps are also delivered to packet sockets with skb->pkt_type == PACKET_OUTGOING, but their skb->cb is owned by AF_PACKET instead of struct sock_exterr_skb. If such an skb is received with timestamping enabled, the generic timestamp cmsg path can read AF_PACKET control-buffer state as sock_exterr_skb::opt_stats. With SO_RXQ_OVFL enabled, the packet drop counter overlaps opt_stats. An odd drop count makes the path emit SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS with skb->len and skb->data. For non-linear skbs this copies past the linear head and can trigger hardened usercopy or disclose adjacent heap contents. Keep skb_is_err_queue() local to net/socket.c, but make it verify that the PACKET_OUTGOING marker is paired with the sock_rmem_free destructor installed by sock_queue_err_skb(). AF_PACKET receive skbs use normal receive ownership and no longer pass as error-queue skbs, while legitimate sk_error_queue entries keep the PACKET_OUTGOING marker and sock_rmem_free ownership.

2026-06-06simpe_xattr: use per-sb cacheMiklos Szeredi
Move the hash table to the super block to remove excessive overhead in case of small number of xattrs per inode. Add linked list to the inode, used for listxattr and eviction. Listxattr uses rcu protection to iterate the list of xattrs. Before being made per-sb, lazy allocation was protected by inode lock. Now inode lock no longer provides sufficient exclusion, so use cmpxchg() to ensure atomicity. Though I haven't found a description of this pattern, after some research it seems that cmpxchg_release() and READ_ONCE() should provide the necessary memory barriers. Use simple_xattr_free_rcu() in simple_xattrs_free(). This is needed because the hash table is now shared between inodes and lookup on a different inode might be running the compare function on the just freed element within the RCU grace period. Following stats are based on slabinfo diff, after creating 100k empty files, then adding a "user.test=foo" xattr to each: v7.0 (no rhashtable): File creation: 993.40 bytes/file Xattr addition: 79.99 bytes/file v7.1-rc2 (per-inode rhashtable): File creation: 939.73 bytes/file Xattr addition: 1296.08 bytes/file v7.1-rc2 + this patch (per-sb rhashtable) File creation: 946.84 bytes/file Xattr addition: 111.86 bytes/file The overhead of a single xattr is reduced to nearly v7.0 levels. The per xattr overhead is slightly larger due to the addition of three pointers to struct simple_xattr.

2026-06-06simple_xattr: change interface to pass struct simple_xattrs **Miklos Szeredi
Change the simple_xattr API to accept pointer-to-pointer (struct simple_xattrs **) instead of pointer. This allows the functions to handle lazy allocation internally without requiring callers to use simple_xattrs_lazy_alloc(). The simple_xattr_set(), simple_xattr_set_limited() and simple_xattr_add() functions now handle allocation when xattrs is NULL. simple_xattrs_free() now also frees the xattrs structure itself and sets the pointer to NULL. This simplifies callers and removes the need for most callers to explicitly manage xattrs allocation and lifetime. In shmem_initxattrs(), the total required space for all initial xattrs (ispace) is pre-calculated and deducted from sbinfo->free_ispace. Since this patch modifies the function to add new xattrs directly to the inode's &info->xattrs list rather than using a local temporary variable, a failure means that the partially populated info->xattrs list remains attached to the inode. When the VFS caller handles the -ENOMEM error, it drops the newly created inode via iput(), shmem_free_inode() adds freed to sbinfo->free_ispace a second time, permanently inflating the tmpfs free space quota. Fix by substracting already added xattrs from ispace.

2026-05-29net: Remove support for AIO on socketsDemi Marie Obenour
The only user of msg->msg_iocb was AF_ALG, but that's deprecated. It can be removed entirely at the cost of only supporting synchronous operations. This doesn't break userspace, which will silently block (for a bounded amount of time) in io_submit instead of operating asynchronously. This also makes struct msghdr smaller, helping every other caller of sendmsg().

2026-04-13net: call getsockopt_iter if availableBreno Leitao
Update do_sock_getsockopt() to use the new getsockopt_iter callback when available. Add do_sock_getsockopt_iter() helper that: 1. Reads optlen from user/kernel space 2. Initializes a sockopt_t with the appropriate iov_iter (kvec for kernel, ubuf for user buffers) and sets opt.optlen 3. Calls the protocol's getsockopt_iter callback 4. Writes opt.optlen back to user/kernel space The optlen is always written back, even on failure. Some protocols (e.g. CAN raw) return -ERANGE and set optlen to the required buffer size so userspace knows how much to allocate. The callback is responsible for setting opt.optlen to indicate the returned data size. Important to say that iov_out does not need to be copied back in do_sock_getsockopt(). When optval is not kernel (the userspace path), sockptr_to_sockopt() sets up opt->iter_out as a ITER_DEST ubuf iterator pointing directly at the userspace buffer (optval.user). So when getsockopt_iter implementations call copy_to_iter(..., &opt->iter_out), the data is written directly to userspace — no intermediate kernel buffer is involved. When optval.is_kernel is true (the in-kernel path, e.g. from io_uring), the kvec points at the already-provided kernel buffer (optval.kernel), so the data lands in the caller's buffer directly via the kvec-backed iterator. In both cases the iterator writes to the final destination in-place at protocol callback. There's nothing to copy back — only optlen needs to be written back.

This has caused a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field for an inode. This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64. This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but 32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment. The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out carefully. With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be eliminated.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs xattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This reworks the simple_xattr infrastructure and adds support for user.* extended attributes on sockets. The simple_xattr subsystem currently uses an rbtree protected by a reader-writer spinlock. This series replaces the rbtree with an rhashtable giving O(1) average-case lookup with RCU-based lockless reads. This sped up concurrent access patterns on tmpfs quite a bit and it's an overall easy enough conversion to do and gets rid or rwlock_t. The conversion is done incrementally: a new rhashtable path is added alongside the existing rbtree, consumers are migrated one at a time (shmem, kernfs, pidfs), and then the rbtree code is removed. All three consumers switch from embedded structs to pointer-based lazy allocation so the rhashtable overhead is only paid for inodes that actually use xattrs. With this infrastructure in place the series adds support for user.* xattrs on sockets. Path-based AF_UNIX sockets inherit xattr support from the underlying filesystem (e.g. tmpfs) but sockets in sockfs - that is everything created via socket() including abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets - had no xattr support at all. The xattr_permission() checks are reworked to allow user.* xattrs on S_IFSOCK inodes. Sockfs sockets get per-inode limits of 128 xattrs and 128KB total value size matching the limits already in use for kernfs. The practical motivation comes from several directions. systemd and GNOME are expanding their use of Varlink as an IPC mechanism. For D-Bus there are tools like dbus-monitor that can observe IPC traffic across the system but this only works because D-Bus has a central broker. For Varlink there is no broker and there is currently no way to identify which sockets speak Varlink. With user.* xattrs on sockets a service can label its socket with the IPC protocol it speaks (e.g., user.varlink=1) and an eBPF program can then selectively capture traffic on those sockets. Enumerating bound sockets via netlink combined with these xattr labels gives a way to discover all Varlink IPC entrypoints for debugging and introspection. Similarly, systemd-journald wants to use xattrs on the /dev/log socket for protocol negotiation to indicate whether RFC 5424 structured syslog is supported or whether only the legacy RFC 3164 format should be used. In containers these labels are particularly useful as high-privilege or more complicated solutions for socket identification aren't available.

2026-03-06treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64Jeff Layton
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

2026-02-24net: Drop the lock in skb_may_tx_timestamp()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
skb_may_tx_timestamp() may acquire sock::sk_callback_lock. The lock must not be taken in IRQ context, only softirq is okay. A few drivers receive the timestamp via a dedicated interrupt and complete the TX timestamp from that handler. This will lead to a deadlock if the lock is already write-locked on the same CPU. Taking the lock can be avoided. The socket (pointed by the skb) will remain valid until the skb is released. The ->sk_socket and ->file member will be set to NULL once the user closes the socket which may happen before the timestamp arrives. If we happen to observe the pointer while the socket is closing but before the pointer is set to NULL then we may use it because both pointer (and the file's cred member) are RCU freed. Drop the lock. Use READ_ONCE() to obtain the individual pointer. Add a matching WRITE_ONCE() where the pointer are cleared.

Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.

This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance. - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory. - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups. - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection. - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT. - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low. - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations. - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload. - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837). - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449). - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL. - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock. - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC. - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees. - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers. - Some preparations for slimming down struct page. - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard. - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state.

2025-09-29net: remove one stac/clac pair from move_addr_to_user()Eric Dumazet
Convert the get_user() and __put_user() code to the fast masked_user_access_begin()/unsafe_{get|put}_user() variant. This patch increases the performance of an UDP recvfrom() receiver (netserver) on 120 bytes messages by 7 % on an AMD EPYC 7B12 64-Core Processor platform. Presence of audit_sockaddr() makes difficult to avoid the stac/clac pair in the copy_to_user() call, this is left for a future patch.

2025-08-29Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2Lauri Vasama
For a user mode library to avoid generating SIGPIPE signals (e.g. because this behaviour is not portable across operating systems) is cumbersome. It is generally bad form to change the process-wide signal mask in a library, so a local solution is needed instead. For I/O performed directly using system calls (synchronous or readiness based asynchronous) this currently involves applying a thread-specific signal mask before the operation and reverting it afterwards. This can be avoided when it is known that the file descriptor refers to neither a pipe nor a socket, but a conservative implementation must always apply the mask. This incurs the cost of two additional system calls. In the case of sockets, the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag can be used with send. For asynchronous I/O performed using io_uring, currently the only option (apart from MSG_NOSIGNAL for sockets), is to mask SIGPIPE entirely in the call to io_uring_enter. Thankfully io_uring_enter takes a signal mask, so only a single syscall is needed. However, copying the signal mask on every call incurs a non-zero performance penalty. Furthermore, this mask applies to all completions, meaning that if the non-signaling behaviour is desired only for some subset of operations, the desired signals must be raised manually from user-mode depending on the completed operation. Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets.

2025-03-25net-timestamp: COMPLETION timestamp on packet tx completionPauli Virtanen
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_COMPLETION, for requesting a software timestamp when hardware reports a packet completed. Completion tstamp is useful for Bluetooth, as hardware timestamps do not exist in the HCI specification except for ISO packets, and the hardware has a queue where packets may wait. In this case the software SND timestamp only reflects the kernel-side part of the total latency (usually small) and queue length (usually 0 unless HW buffers congested), whereas the completion report time is more informative of the true latency. It may also be useful in other cases where HW TX timestamps cannot be obtained and user wants to estimate an upper bound to when the TX probably happened.

2025-03-21net: Remove RTNL dance for SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF.Kuniyuki Iwashima
SIOCBRDELIF is passed to dev_ioctl() first and later forwarded to br_ioctl_call(), which causes unnecessary RTNL dance and the splat below [0] under RTNL pressure. Let's say Thread A is trying to detach a device from a bridge and Thread B is trying to remove the bridge. In dev_ioctl(), Thread A bumps the bridge device's refcnt by netdev_hold() and releases RTNL because the following br_ioctl_call() also re-acquires RTNL. In the race window, Thread B could acquire RTNL and try to remove the bridge device. Then, rtnl_unlock() by Thread B will release RTNL and wait for netdev_put() by Thread A. Thread A, however, must hold RTNL after the unlock in dev_ifsioc(), which may take long under RTNL pressure, resulting in the splat by Thread B. Thread A (SIOCBRDELIF) Thread B (SIOCBRDELBR) ---------------------- ---------------------- sock_ioctl sock_ioctl `- sock_do_ioctl `- br_ioctl_call `- dev_ioctl `- br_ioctl_stub |- rtnl_lock | |- dev_ifsioc ' ' |- dev = __dev_get_by_name(...) |- netdev_hold(dev, ...) . / |- rtnl_unlock ------. | | |- br_ioctl_call `---> |- rtnl_lock Race | | `- br_ioctl_stub |- br_del_bridge Window | | | |- dev = __dev_get_by_name(...) | | | May take long | `- br_dev_delete(dev, ...) | | | under RTNL pressure | `- unregister_netdevice_queue(dev, ...) | | | | `- rtnl_unlock \ | |- rtnl_lock <-' `- netdev_run_todo | |- ... `- netdev_run_todo | `- rtnl_unlock |- __rtnl_unlock | |- netdev_wait_allrefs_any |- netdev_put(dev, ...) <----------------' Wait refcnt decrement and log splat below To avoid blocking SIOCBRDELBR unnecessarily, let's not call dev_ioctl() for SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF. In the dev_ioctl() path, we do the following: 1. Copy struct ifreq by get_user_ifreq in sock_do_ioctl() 2. Check CAP_NET_ADMIN in dev_ioctl() 3. Call dev_load() in dev_ioctl() 4. Fetch the master dev from ifr.ifr_name in dev_ifsioc() 3. can be done by request_module() in br_ioctl_call(), so we move 1., 2., and 4. to br_ioctl_stub(). Note that 2. is also checked later in add_del_if(), but it's better performed before RTNL. SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF have been processed in dev_ioctl() since the pre-git era, and there seems to be no specific reason to process them there.

2025-02-26net: skb: free up one bit in tx_flagsWillem de Bruijn
The linked series wants to add skb tx completion timestamps. That needs a bit in skb_shared_info.tx_flags, but all are in use. A per-skb bit is only needed for features that are configured on a per packet basis. Per socket features can be read from sk->sk_tsflags. Per packet tsflags can be set in sendmsg using cmsg, but only those in SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_RECORD_MASK. Per packet tsflags can also be set without cmsg by sandwiching a send inbetween two setsockopts: val |= SOF_TIMESTAMPING_$FEATURE; setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMPING, &val, sizeof(val)); write(fd, buf, sz); val &= ~SOF_TIMESTAMPING_$FEATURE; setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMPING, &val, sizeof(val)); Changing a datapath test from skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags to skb->sk->sk_tsflags can change behavior in that case, as the tx_flags is written before the second setsockopt updates sk_tsflags. Therefore, only bits can be reclaimed that cannot be set by cmsg and are also highly unlikely to be used to target individual packets otherwise. Free up the bit currently used for SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_USE_CYCLES. This selects between clock and free running counter source for HW TX timestamps. It is probable that all packets of the same socket will always use the same source.

2025-02-20bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_HW_CB callbackJason Xing
Support hw SCM_TSTAMP_SND case for bpf timestamping. Add a new sock_ops callback, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_HW_CB. This callback will occur at the same timestamping point as the user space's hardware SCM_TSTAMP_SND. The BPF program can use it to get the same SCM_TSTAMP_SND timestamp without modifying the user-space application. To avoid increasing the code complexity, replace SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP with SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_NOBPF instead of changing numerous callers from driver side using SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP. The new definition of SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP means the combination tests of socket timestamping and bpf timestamping. After this patch, drivers can work under the bpf timestamping. Considering some drivers don't assign the skb with hardware timestamp, this patch does the assignment and then BPF program can acquire the hwstamp from skb directly.
