4 daysbpf: tcp: Introduce bpf_tcp_ops.{enqueue,dequeue}_rcvq().Kuniyuki Iwashima
Waking up a thread per packet is expensive when an application processes variable-length frames (e.g., RPC) that span multiple packets. SO_RCVLOWAT can defer wakeups, but because the frame size is encoded in a fixed-size descriptor at the start of each frame, the application has to: 1. wake up and recv() the descriptor, 2. raise SO_RCVLOWAT to the payload size via setsockopt(), 3. wake up and recv() the payload, and 4. reset SO_RCVLOWAT back to the descriptor size via setsockopt() for the next frame. This requires an extra wakeup and two setsockopt() syscalls for every single RPC frame. With SOCKMAP, we can parse skb and suppress wakeups in kernel, but SOCKMAP adds overhead and also kills zerocopy. Let's add lighter-weight opt-in callbacks to bpf_tcp_ops to replace that. .enqueue_rcvq(): invoked when TCP stack enqueues skb to sk->sk_receive_queue .dequeue_rcvq(): invoked in tcp_cleanup_rbuf() after data is dequeued from sk->sk_receive_queue Those callbacks can be enabled on a per-socket basis by bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags(): bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags((struct tcp_sock *)sk, BPF_TCP_OPS_FLAG_RCVQ, 0); Later, we will add a new kfunc to adjust sk->sk_rcvlowat from these callbacks. This will allow the bpf_tcp_ops prog to parse each skb and dynamically adjust sk->sk_rcvlowat to suppress unnecessary EPOLLIN wakeups until sufficient data is available in the receive queue. The placement of bpf_tcp_ops_call() in tcp_ofo_queue() and tcp_fastopen_add_skb() is chosen to provide the same snapshot as tcp_queue_rcv(). For example, if bpf_tcp_ops_call() were called before updating TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq in tcp_fastopen_add_skb(), BPF prog would need an extra branch for the unlikely TFO case to strip SYN. In addition, the TCP stack can queue overlapping skbs into recvq. Once rcv_nxt is updated with a new skb, BPF prog can no longer infer the previous rcv_nxt from skb->len. Lastly, dequeue_rcvq() is placed in tcp_cleanup_rbuf() rather than __tcp_cleanup_rbuf() so that it is not called for sockets in SOCKMAP, where calling sk->sk_data_ready() from the new kfunc would otherwise trigger infinite recursion.

4 daysbpf: tcp: Add a new per-socket flag and kfunc for bpf_tcp_ops.Kuniyuki Iwashima
The legacy SOCK_OPS guards some hooks with a per-socket flag, tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags. In contrast, bpf_tcp_ops was initially designed without per-socket flags so that users can simply define only the callbacks they need. However, it turned out that even attaching a bpf_tcp_ops with a NULL callback incurs measurable overhead in the fast path. [0] We could reuse tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags, but it is u8 and has only 1 bit left for a new opt-in callback, while not all of the 7 existing opt-in hooks are in the fast path and really need a flag guard. Moreover, tp->bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags has two bpf helper functions to update it, both of which require sock_owned_by_me(sk): * bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags_set() * bpf_setsockopt(TCP_BPF_SOCK_OPS_CB_FLAGS) Both helpers only overwrite the field, which leads to reading and modifying the flags in the BPF prog and then writing them back via the helper. This prevents use from the fast path (tc or cgroup_skb) hooks where bh_lock_sock() alone cannot prevent races with process context. Let's add a new u32 field, tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags, at the end of the tcp_sock_read_txrx cacheline group, along with a new kfunc, bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags(). bpf_tcp_ops_set_flags() takes bitmasks of flags to enable and disable and updates tp->bpf_tcp_ops_flags atomically via try_cmpxchg() without relying on lock_sock(). The kfunc is exposed to bpf_tcp_ops, BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCKOPT, and BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB. The first argument is struct tcp_sock * so that bpf_tcp_sock() etc is required for cgroup hooks, but not for bpf_tcp_ops where struct sock * is promoted to struct tcp_sock * automatically. The fast-path callbacks will be guarded by the new flags in a later patch after updating the existing selftest to avoid breaking bisection.

9 daysseccomp: allow restarting interrupted unreceived notificationsCong Wang
An interrupted user notification wait returns ERESTARTSYS before the syscall body has run. If the notifying task's handler for the delivered signal was installed without SA_RESTART, that task sees EINTR even for calls whose callers do not expect it. This can make fork fail unexpectedly or make close report EINTR while leaving the descriptor open. A leaked pipe write end can prevent readers from seeing EOF. The supervisor cannot repair this result once the interrupted task removes the notification. If removal happens before receipt, the supervisor never receives that request; a reply using its ID would fail with ENOENT. Receiving notifications eagerly only narrows the scheduling window. WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV protects supervisor processing after receipt, but deliberately leaves the pre-receive wait interruptible. A sandbox also cannot transparently fix this in the target. It cannot require arbitrary workloads to retry calls such as fork and close. Retrying close on EINTR is unsafe when the native syscall has already released the descriptor. Forcing SA_RESTART on application handlers would change cancellation behavior for other blocking calls. Sandlock encounters this while mediating process creation to enforce process limits. For example, dash installs its SIGCHLD handler without SA_RESTART. While dash is creating a pipeline, an earlier child can exit and generate SIGCHLD while dash waits for a fork notification to be received. The interrupted wait then makes fork return EINTR, causing dash to report "Cannot fork". Removing fork from notification mediation would bypass the process-limit enforcement that sandlock needs. Add SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_RESTART_BEFORE_RECV, requiring NEW_LISTENER. Under notify_lock, convert an interrupted wait's ERESTARTSYS to ERESTARTNOINTR only while the notification remains INIT. The notifying task's signal handler still runs; if it returns normally, syscall entry and the filter are evaluated again. Keep this opt-in because commit c2aa2dfef243 ("seccomp: Add wait_killable semantic to seccomp user notifier") deliberately preserved pre-receipt interruption so workloads could abandon requests before the supervisor starts processing them. The flag can be combined with WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV to defer non-fatal signals after receipt. Neither supervisor-supplied errors nor the native syscall's restart behavior is changed.

11 daysbpf: Treat load and store through a number as arena accessAlexei Starovoitov
There are no address spaces in Rust. LLVM emits plain loads and stores for arena memory, without cast_kern: r3 = 0x20 ll // R_BPF_64_64 .bss, libbpf puts it into arena r2 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) // R3 invalid mem access 'scalar' lock *(u64 *)(r2 + 8) += r1 Add BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR flag of BPF_PROG_LOAD. When the program is loaded with it and has an arena treat ldx, stx, st and atomics through a number as arena access. It's as safe as access through PTR_TO_ARENA: JIT adds the base of arena to the low 32 bits of the address. The program has an arena only with CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON. Registers of the program are not changed, since Rust compares and stores the address after the access. bpf_do_misc_fixups() copies the low 32 bits into BPF_REG_AX and the access goes through it: r2 = *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) -> w12 = w3 r2 = *(u64 *)(r12 + 0) Constant blinding needs BPF_REG_AX for immediates and leaves insns that use BPF_REG_AX alone. So the immediate of st through a number is not blinded, the rest of the program is: *(u64 *)(r3 + 0) = 1 -> w12 = w3 *(u64 *)(r12 + 0) = 1 The same insn may see PTR_TO_ARENA on another path. It works for both. It's a flag, since a number is also what the verifier makes of a pointer that went away when the program has CAP_PERFMON: a ringbuf record after bpf_ringbuf_submit(), a pointer to the packet after bpf_skb_pull_data(). Programs in C that have an arena keep "invalid mem access 'scalar'" for such bugs. JIT tells with bpf_jit_supports_arena_scalar() that it takes BPF_REG_AX as the address of arena access. With other JITs the flag is rejected with -EOPNOTSUPP. x86 and arm64 do: - x86: the fault handler finds the register that holds the address through reg2pt_regs[]. Add BPF_REG_AX, r10 of x86, there. - arm64: nothing else is needed. The JIT takes any register as the address and the fault handler reads it by its number. Compile tested only. Any number is an address of arena, NULL and small numbers included, like it is for PTR_TO_ARENA: arena code in C dereferences NULL and relies on the fault being handled. Still rejected: - insn that sees a number on one path and a pointer that is not PTR_TO_ARENA on another. - numbers passed to helpers and kfuncs, except __arena arguments.

2026-09-25bpf: Add file descriptor interface for program streamsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
The existing BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD command only supports polling a program stream through repeated bpf() calls. It cannot block for new data or integrate with poll-based event loops. Add BPF_PROG_STREAM_OPEN to return a read-only, close-on-exec file descriptor for a selected program stream. Reads block by default and BPF_F_STREAM_NONBLOCK, the only accepted flag, provides non-blocking behavior. poll reports readable data and reports hangup once the program has been freed. Like pipes and sockets, the descriptor is not seekable and lseek fails with ESPIPE. A stream descriptor deliberately does not retain the program. Move each stream into a separately refcounted allocation so program teardown can mark it dead and wake descriptor users while outstanding descriptors drain buffered data safely. Readers sample the dead flag before looking for data, so EOF is reported only when the stream was already dead before it was found empty; data published right before teardown is never skipped. Only programs loaded through BPF_PROG_LOAD get streams. Classic BPF filters, JIT subprograms and shim programs never write to one, and kernel-side writers already resolve a subprogram to its main program, so those programs no longer carry stream state. Readiness needs its own counter. Stream capacity is charged before allocation and before an element is published to the stream log, so using that reservation as the read and poll condition can report readable data while no element exists: a blocking reader retries instead of sleeping and a lone non-blocking reader can see POLLIN followed by EAGAIN. Publish bytes with release ordering after adding elements to the lockless log, use acquire loads before consuming them or reporting readiness, limit each read to its readable snapshot and subtract only bytes actually copied. This keeps the aggregate count correct even when concurrent publishers update it out of publication order. With several readers on one stream, readiness remains advisory, as it is for pipes. The capacity counter is kept solely for enforcing the stream size limit. Wakeups are always deferred through irq_work. Stream writers run in whatever context the program runs in: NMI context for perf_event programs, sections with interrupts disabled inside bpf_spin_lock or rqspinlock critical sections since bpf_stream_vprintk() is KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE, and tracing programs attached anywhere in the kernel, including inside the wait queue and epoll code itself. Waking waiters directly from there can deadlock, and no cheap context check covers every case: on PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t sections do not disable interrupts, so in_nmi() or irqs_disabled() cannot tell such a program apart from a benign one. Queue an irq_work item instead, as bpf_ringbuf does. Queue it only when a publication turns an empty stream readable. Readers block and pollers wait only after finding the stream empty, and the readable count never drops below zero because each read is bounded by its snapshot, so the first publication after such an observation is the one that makes the count positive, and it is the one that queues the wakeup. Publications into a stream that already holds data raise no interrupt, so a program that prints while nobody drains its stream pays for a single irq_work until the stream is emptied again. This matches bpf_ringbuf, which notifies only once the consumer has caught up. Blocking readers and level-triggered pollers re-check the readable count before waiting, so they cannot miss data, and edge-triggered epoll consumers drain until EAGAIN before waiting again, as epoll(7) requires. Synchronize pending work before releasing the final stream reference so the callback cannot outlive the stream, but only when the work was ever queued: irq_work_sync() waits for an RCU grace period on PREEMPT_RT and on architectures without an irq_work interrupt.

2026-09-22bpf: Add bpf_call_rcu() kfuncPuranjay Mohan
BPF programs that manage their own objects have no way to run their own logic once an RCU grace period has elapsed. bpf_obj_drop() defers a free, but returning an index to an allocator or unpinning a resource once readers are done has no equivalent. sched_ext's BPF library works around this today by pushing freed nodes onto a list and having a userspace thread call membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL) and then run a BPF program to reclaim them. Add: int bpf_call_rcu(struct bpf_rcu_head *rh, void *map, int (*callback)(struct bpf_map *map, void *key, void *value)); @rh is a struct bpf_rcu_head embedded in a value of @map, so the callback runs as callback(map, key, value) for the element it lives in and needs no cookie. A head can only be armed once, which bounds outstanding work by the number of elements. struct bpf_rcu_head holds the callback state inline rather than a pointer to it, as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, because there is nothing to cancel and so nothing that has to outlive the map value. That avoids an allocation and a state machine on the arming path at the cost of 48 bytes per element. An RCU callback cannot be cancelled, so everything it touches has to stay alive until it runs: - The callback is the program's text, so arming takes a program reference as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, dropped once the callback returns. bpf_prog_inc_not_zero() also fails the arm with -EBADF once the program is dying. - The map is held by that reference through used_maps. An inner map is not, so bpf_rcu_head is rejected in one. - The field is only accepted in BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, whose elements are never freed individually. A hash element can be deleted and recycled while a callback is queued on it. - The head is disarmed before the callback runs so it can be armed again from there, which takes a new program reference before the running callback drops its own. Arming therefore fails with -EPERM once the map is held by neither a process nor bpffs. bpf_iter hands a program a writable pointer to the live element, which would let it overwrite a queued head, so bpf_iter_attach_map() rejects maps carrying one. The callback is verified non-sleepable even when the caller is sleepable, and RCU invokes it with BH disabled.

2026-09-19bpf: tcp: Support parse/len/write header option hooks in bpf_tcp_opsAmery Hung
Add the TCP header option callbacks to the bpf_tcp_ops struct_ops type: parse_hdr - parse the options of an incoming skb on an established connection hdr_opt_len - reserve space in the TCP header for bpf options write_hdr_opt - write the reserved bpf options These mirror the BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_HDR_OPT_CB, _HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and _WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB legacy sockops callbacks, but are exposed as struct_ops members so a program can implement them with normal function signatures and per-member helper sets. The reserved header window is shared between the legacy sockops and bpf_tcp_ops paths. tcp_{syn,synack,established}_options() first run the legacy BPF_SOCK_OPS_HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and then call hdr_opt_len, so both sources accumulate into opts->bpf_opt_len; at write time the legacy options are emitted first and bpf_tcp_ops writes after them. API design bpf_tcp_ops overloads the sock_ops header-option helpers rather than introducing a new API: bpf_reserve_hdr_opt(), bpf_store_hdr_opt() and bpf_load_hdr_opt() are exposed per-member (reserve for hdr_opt_len, store/load for write_hdr_opt, load for parse_hdr) and share the existing kernel option-walking core via _bpf_sock_ops{store,load}hdr_opt(), with the bpf_tcp_ops wrappers synthesizing a temporary bpf_sock_ops_kern from the program ctx. This keeps a port from the legacy BPF_SOCK_OPS*_HDR_OPT_CB callbacks mechanical (same helper calls) and adds no new UAPI helper/kfunc surface. An alternative considered was to drop the option helpers entirely: have hdr_opt_len reserve space purely through its return value, and introduce a dedicated TCP-header-option dynptr used for both reading and writing. That is a cleaner, more self-contained interface, but it is a larger change and does not reuse the legacy helpers, making a port from sockops less mechanical. It can be pursued as a follow-up; the helper-based interface here keeps this series focused on moving the hooks to struct_ops. The hdr_opt_len fast path in tcp_established_options() is gated by cgroup_bpf_enabled(CGROUP_TCP_SOCK_OPS). Note this is a global, per-attach-type static branch: it is enabled whenever any bpf_tcp_ops is attached, even one that does not implement hdr_opt_len or that is attached to a different cgroup. In those cases the block still runs but bpf_tcp_ops_hdr_opt_len() no-ops via the per-member check in the dispatch macro. A per-member/per-cgroup gate could be added later if the extra fast-path work proves measurable.

2026-09-19bpf: Add infrastructure to support attaching struct_ops to cgroupsMartin KaFai Lau
This patch adds necessary infrastructure to attach a struct_ops map to a cgroup. The initial need was to support migrating the legacy BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS to a struct_ops. Recently, there are other struct_ops use cases that need to attach struct_ops to a cgroup. For example, the recent BPF OOM and memcg discussion in LSFMMBPF 2026. The motivation is to create a consistent expectation for attaching struct_ops to cgroup instead of each subsystem creating its own infrastructure. This logic includes hierarchy expectation, ordering expectation, attachment API, and rcu gp. There is already an existing implementation for attaching multiple bpf progs to a cgroup. There are also tools built around it for querying. Attaching a struct_ops map (which is a group of bpf programs) could also adhere to a similar API and potentially reuse most of the existing implementation. A couple of ideas have been tried. One of them is to use mprog.c. In terms of the amount of changes, I eventually came to the same conclusion as in commit 120933984460 ("bpf: Implement mprog API on top of existing cgroup progs"). I then shifted the focus to reusing the current {update,compute,activate,purge}_effective_progs() which has the main logic that implements the mprog API. Since then, I tried to add a 'struct cgroup *cgroup' member to the existing 'struct bpf_struct_ops_link' and link_create will create a 'struct bpf_struct_ops_link' object to be stored in the pl->link. This turns out to have more changes on both cgroup.c and bpf_struct_ops.c than I like. This patch directly reuses the 'struct bpf_cgroup_link' which cgroup.c already understands. Add 'struct bpf_map *map' to 'struct bpf_cgroup_link'. In the future, as more subsystems are extended by struct_ops, we may consider to make 'struct bpf_map *map' as a primary citizen of a link like 'struct bpf_prog *prog' and directly add 'struct bpf_map *map' to the generic 'struct bpf_link'. The pl->link could be the traditional 'prog' link or the new 'map' link. The places that need to handle them differently have already been refactored into the new prog_list_*() added in the earlier patch. In those new prog_list_*(), this patch will check "pl->link && pl->link->map", learn that it is a 'map' link and handle it correctly. The bpf_prog_array also needs to handle that its item can store the traditional 'prog' or it can store a struct_ops map. The places that need to handle them differently have also been refactored into the new bpf_cgroup_array_*() added in the earlier patch. The two differences are: - different sentinel (dummy_bpf_prog in prog vs cfi_stub in struct_ops) - the array for struct_ops may need to go through different rcu gp. The bpf_cgroup_array_*() functions use the cgroup_bpf_attach_type (ie atype) to distinguish the array is storing prog or storing struct_ops map. This patch also implements a separate struct bpf_link_ops "cgroup_struct_ops_link_ops" to have a separate link_ops implementation that only handles the cgroup's struct_ops link. Questions: - Although this patch did not change it, it is not obvious to me how the replace_effective_progs() and purge_effective_progs() handle cases when there are existing BPF_F_PREORDER progs attached in the hlist. Misc notes: - CGROUP_TCP_SOCK_OPS is added to the 'enum cgroup_bpf_attach_type'. The actual implementation of the tcp_bpf_ops (a struct_ops) will be added in the next patch. - free_after_mult_rcu_gp is added to 'struct bpf_struct_ops' such that the bpf_prog_array can have a mix of sleepable and non-sleepable prog in a struct_ops. This can tell how the bpf_prog_array should be freed. - For a struct_ops that supports cgroup attachment, it does not need to implement its own reg/unreg function. reg/unreg to a cgroup is done by the common infrastructure added in this patch. - The cgroup's struct_ops link only supports BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI. This is enforced internally in cgroup_bpf_struct_ops_attach. This should be consistent with the current prog's link behavior in cgroup_bpf_link_attach. In the future, we may allow each subsystem to choose differently. - A cgroup_atype member is added to 'struct bpf_struct_ops'. When a subsystem struct_ops needs to support cgroup attachment, it needs to add a value to 'enum cgroup_bpf_attach_type' and then assign it to the newly added cgroup_atype member in the bpf_struct_ops. - During LINK_CREATE in syscall, the patch uses the same BPF_STRUCT_OPS (in attr->link_create.attach_type). The bpf_struct_ops_link_create learns the map and from the map it learns the st_ops. If the st_ops->cgroup_atype is not 0, it will create a cgroup's link. - When a subsystem registers a struct_ops that supports cgroup attachment, the struct_ops infrastructure will also ask the cgroup infrastructure to remember a few things. This is done by calling cgroup_bpf_struct_ops_register().

2026-08-24xsk: align TX metadata layout across ABIsStanislav Fomichev
Add explicit padding before launch_time so xsk_tx_metadata has the same layout on 32-bit and 64-bit systems. On several architectures (csky, i386, nios2, m65k, openrisc, sh), the old native 32-bit layout put launch_time at offset 12 and had a natural size of 20 bytes. Using sizeof(struct xsk_tx_metadata) as tx_metadata_len was already rejected because the length must be a multiple of eight, so the straightforward use of the interface was broken on those ABIs. Userspace could still register a padded length of 24 bytes, though; mixing the old and new layouts then silently reads launch_time from the wrong offset and misprograms packet launch times. This intentionally replaces that incompatible layout because the affected architectures are unlikely to have any notable users. (x86_64 and arm64 have the most users and are _not_ affected) Fixes: ca4419f15abd ("xsk: Add launch time hardware offload support to XDP Tx metadata") Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@fomichev.me> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260819160535.1472459-2-sdf@fomichev.me Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust...

2026-08-17Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linuxLinus Torvalds
Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers: "The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two. Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code. The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now, "-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used. To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW. Overall, this removes quite a bit of redundant code from ext4, f2fs, and fs/crypto/. It should make things easier for ongoing filesystem efforts such as iomap support, large folios, and btrfs encryption (btrfs had already been planning to use blk-crypto exclusively.) There are two small behavior changes of note: - Direct I/O now works on encrypted files even without "-o inlinecrypt", rather than falling back to buffered I/O. This is effectively a bugfix, though I'll continue to keep an eye out for any user that may have been depending on the buffered I/O fallback. - IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies are no longer supported in certain cases that didn't make sense and have no known uses. This has been in linux-next since July 22 with no reported issues. All encryption xfstests pass on ext4 and f2fs. As usual I've also been using it on a system with an fscrypt-encrypted home directory. Of course, the blk-crypto code paths also aren't new and were already being used on many systems via the inlinecrypt mount option. In addition to the main change described above, there are a few other cleanups such as using lock guards for mutexes, improving documentation, and removing a workaround for outdated gcc versions" * tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linux: (29 commits) blk-crypto: Update docs for blk-crypto-fallback motivation blk-crypto: Remove unused function blk_crypto_config_supported() fscrypt: Update docs for data path fscrypt: Remove unused function fscrypt_finalize_bounce_page() f2fs: Update outdated comment in f2fs_write_begin() fs: Update outdated comment for SB_INLINECRYPT fscrypt: Update encryption policy version docs fscrypt: Replace some variable-size memsets with fixed-size fscrypt: Add safety checks to non-block-based en/decryption fscrypt: Merge bio.c and inline_crypt.c into block.c fscrypt: Remove unused functions and workqueue fscrypt: Remove fs-layer zeroout code fscrypt: Remove fscrypt_dio_supported() fscrypt: Replace calls to fscrypt_inode_uses_inline_crypto() fs/buffer: Remove fs-layer decryption code f2fs: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code ext4: Further de-generalize the bio postprocessing code ext4: Make ext4_bio_write_folio() return void ext4: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code Documentation: fscrypt: Update docs for inlinecrypt ...

2026-08-07net: devmem: allow rx-page-size > PAGE_SIZE per dmabuf bindingBobby Eshleman
Every devmem dmabuf binding today hands the page_pool PAGE_SIZE niovs. This caps a single RX descriptor at PAGE_SIZE, burning CPU on buffer churn for large flows. Add a bind-time netlink attribute, NETDEV_A_DMABUF_RX_PAGE_SIZE, that lets userspace request a larger niov size. The value must be a power of two >= PAGE_SIZE. The TX path is changed to always pass PAGE_SIZE. Measurements: Setup: kperf in devmem RX/TX cuda mode, 4 flows, 64 MB messages, 60s, dctcp, num-rx-queues=4, dmabuf-rx/tx-size-mb=2048, 10 runs per niov size, mlx5.

2026-08-07tun/tap: add IFF_BACKPRESSURE flagSimon Schippers
Add the IFF_BACKPRESSURE flag to the UAPI header and to its tools/ copy. The flag has no effect yet, it is the opt-in switch for the qdisc backpressure logic added by the following patches. It is added to TUN_FEATURES only in the last patch of the series, once the implementation is complete. Until then TUNSETIFF silently masks it off, as it does for any flag outside TUN_FEATURES. Keeping the flag and its users in separate patches would either leave a window where backpressure is unconditional, or make the opt-in a later add-on. Adding the flag first lets every following patch be a no-op unless it is set.

2026-08-04mm/pagemap: add PAGE_IS_ACCESSED for RWP trackingKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
PAGEMAP_SCAN already reports PAGE_IS_WRITTEN from the inverted uffd PTE bit, targeting the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT workflow. UFFDIO_RWPROTECT reuses the same PTE bit as a marker for read-write protection, but "has been written" and "has been accessed" are distinct semantic signals — they happen to share one PTE bit today only because the two implementations share infrastructure. Give RWP its own pagemap category so the UAPI does not conflate them: PAGE_IS_WRITTEN reported on VM_UFFD_WP VMAs, !pte_uffd(pte) PAGE_IS_ACCESSED reported on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs, !pte_uffd(pte) Both still read the same PTE bit today, but each is scoped to the VMA whose registered mode makes the bit meaningful. If a future implementation moves RWP to a separate PTE bit, only PAGE_IS_ACCESSED switches over. This is a UAPI narrowing. Outside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs the uffd bit is always clear, so PAGEMAP_SCAN used to flag PAGE_IS_WRITTEN on every present PTE there — a meaningless duplicate of PAGE_IS_PRESENT. Now PAGE_IS_WRITTEN fires only inside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs. pagemap_hugetlb_category() now takes the vma like its PTE/PMD peers.

2026-07-15bpf: Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT flag to bpf_fib_lookup() helperAvinash Duduskar
BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN resolves a VLAN egress. The reverse is also useful: an XDP program receiving a VLAN-tagged frame on a physical device wants the lookup to behave as if the packet had arrived on the corresponding VLAN subinterface, so iif-based policy routing and VRF table selection use the right ingress. Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT. When set, params->h_vlan_proto and params->h_vlan_TCI are read as an input VLAN tag and the matching VLAN device of params->ifindex is resolved with __vlan_find_dev_deep_rcu(). The device must be up and in the same network namespace as params->ifindex (a VLAN device can be moved to another netns while registered on its parent; receive would deliver into that other namespace, which a lookup here cannot represent). If params->ifindex is itself a VLAN device, its inner (QinQ) subinterface is matched. For a bond or team, a tag on a port matches no device and returns NOT_FWDED; pass the master's ifindex. The lookup then runs with the resolved device as the ingress; params->ifindex itself is not modified on the input side. When the resolved device is enslaved to a VRF, both the full lookup (via the l3mdev rule) and BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT (via l3mdev_fib_table_rcu()) select the VRF's table from the resolved ingress. That follows from feeding the resolved device to the flow as the ingress (fl4.flowi4_iif = dev->ifindex), which is what makes l3mdev resolve the VRF master from the subinterface rather than from params->ifindex. The two failure classes get different treatment on purpose. A h_vlan_proto other than 802.1Q/802.1ad is API misuse and returns -EINVAL, since it would otherwise reach the WARN in vlan_proto_idx() with a program-controlled value. An unmatched VID, a device that is down, or one in another namespace is a data outcome and returns BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NOT_FWDED, matching the DIRECT path when fib_get_table() finds no table and mirroring real ingress, where the receive path drops such frames. A VID of 0 (a priority tag) is looked up literally and normally fails the same way; receive instead processes such frames untagged, so callers should not set the flag for priority tags. Proceeding on the physical device for any of these would be fail-open for the policy-routing cases above. The h_vlan fields share a union with tbid, so the flag cannot be combined with BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_TBID. It describes ingress, so it also cannot be combined with BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT. Both combinations return -EINVAL; restricting now keeps a later relaxation backward compatible. Combining with BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN is allowed: the tag is consumed on the ingress side and the egress tag is written on success. Under !CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q the __vlan_find_dev_deep_rcu() stub returns NULL, so every lookup with a valid proto returns NOT_FWDED, which is correct since no VLAN device can exist.

2026-07-15bpf: Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN flag to bpf_fib_lookup() helperAvinash Duduskar
bpf_fib_lookup() returns the FIB-resolved egress ifindex straight from the fib result. When the egress is a VLAN device, the returned ifindex is the VLAN netdev's, which has no XDP xmit handler; XDP programs that want to forward the frame (e.g. xdp-forward) must instead target the underlying physical device and push the VLAN tag themselves. Today the program has no way to learn either the underlying ifindex or the VLAN tag without maintaining its own VLAN-to-ifindex map in userspace and refreshing it on netlink events. Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN. When the caller sets this flag and the fib result is a VLAN device whose immediate parent is a real (non-VLAN) device in the same network namespace, populate the existing output fields params->h_vlan_proto and params->h_vlan_TCI from the VLAN device and replace params->ifindex with the parent's ifindex. params->h_vlan_TCI carries the VID only, with PCP and DEI bits zero; a consumer wanting to set egress priority writes PCP itself. params->smac is the VLAN device's own address, which can differ from the parent's. Only the immediate parent is resolved, via vlan_dev_priv(dev)->real_dev and not vlan_dev_real_dev(), which walks to the bottom of a stack. When the immediate parent is not a real device in the same namespace, the lookup returns BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_VLAN_FAILURE and leaves params->ifindex at the input. This covers a stacked VLAN (QinQ), where the immediate parent is itself a VLAN device and one h_vlan_proto/h_vlan_TCI pair cannot describe two tags, and a parent in another network namespace (a VLAN device can be moved while its parent stays), whose ifindex would be meaningless in the caller's namespace. A program that wants the VLAN device's own ifindex re-issues the lookup, with a re-initialized params, without BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN, so the unreducible case stays distinct from a physical egress. That distinction matters for XDP: a program cannot xmit on a VLAN device, so a success carrying the VLAN ifindex would make it redirect to a device with no ndo_xdp_xmit and drop the frame at xdp_do_flush(). The swap and the vlan fields are written only on the reduce path; other output fields keep their existing behaviour, so a frag-needed result still reports the route mtu in params->mtu_result. BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN is only useful to XDP, which cannot redirect to a VLAN device. A tc program can redirect to the VLAN device directly, so bpf_skb_fib_lookup() rejects the flag with -EINVAL; bpf_xdp_fib_lookup() accepts it. When the flag is not set, behaviour is unchanged: h_vlan_proto and h_vlan_TCI are zeroed and ifindex is left at the FIB result. The new block is compiled only under CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q since vlan_dev_priv() is not defined otherwise; without that config is_vlan_dev() is constant false and the flag is accepted but never acts. That is safe because no VLAN device can exist there, so every egress is already physical. This lets an XDP redirect target the physical device and learn the tag to push in a single lookup, which xdp-forward's optional VLAN mode (xdp-project/xdp-tools#504) wants from the kernel side. The helper's input semantics are unchanged; the reverse direction (supplying a tag as lookup input) is added in the following patch.

Adding BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD support for tracing_multi links. We expose following tracing_multi link data: - attach_type of the program - number of ids - array of BTF ids - array of its related kernel addresses - array of cookies The change follows the kprobe_multi and uprobe_multi link-info convention of optional output arrays with an in/out count, On top of standard tracing link data we also expose addresses, because they are useful info for user (especially when the attachment was done via pattern).

2026-06-25bpf: Support BPF_F_EGRESS with bpf_redirect_peerJordan Rife
We have several use cases where a pod injects traffic into the datapath of another so that the traffic appears to have originated from that pod. One such use case is a synthetic flow generator which injects synthetic traffic into a pod's datapath to enable dynamic probing and debugging. Another is a transparent proxy where connections originating from one pod are redirected towards another which proxies that connection. The new connection is bound to the IP of the original pod using IP_TRANSPARENT and its traffic is injected into that pod's datapath and handled as if it had originated there. This can be used for mTLS, etc. We use bpf_redirect(BPF_F_INGRESS) to direct traffic leaving the proxy, flow generator, etc. towards the target pod, ensuring that eBPF programs that are meant to intercept traffic leaving that pod are executed. However, this doesn't work with netkit. With netkit, an ingress redirection from proxy to workload skips eBPF programs that are meant to intercept traffic leaving the pod, since they reside on the netkit peer device. One workaround is to attach the same program to both the netkit peer device and the TCX ingress hook for the netkit pair's primary interface, but a) This seems hacky and we need to be careful not to run the same program twice for the same skb in cases where we want to pass that traffic to the host stack. b) We're trying to keep the proxy redirection / traffic injection systems as modular and separated from Cilium as possible, the system that manages netkit setup and core eBPF programming. It would be handy if instead we could redirect traffic directly from one netkit peer device to another. This patch proposes an extension to bpf_redirect_peer to allow us to do just that. With this patch, the BPF_F_EGRESS flag tells bpf_redirect_peer to emit the skb in the egress direction of the target interface's peer device While the main use case is netkit, I suppose you could also use this mode with veth as well if, e.g., there were some eBPF programs attached to that side of the veth pair that needed to intercept traffic. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | +-------------------------+ 6. bpf_redirect_neigh(eth0) | | | pod (10.244.0.10) | ------------------------ | | | | | | | | | +--------+ | | +---------+ | | | | 1. packet -->| | | | | | | | | | leaves ^ | netkit |<===========|======| netkit | | | | | | | peer |=======(eBPF)=====>| primary | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +--------+ | | +---------+ | | | | | | | 2. bpf_redirect v | | +-----------|-------------+ |___________________ +-------| | | | | eth0 | | | 5. bpf_redirect_peer(BPF_F_EGRESS) | +-------| | |________________________ | | | +-------------------------+ | | | | | proxy (10.244.0.11) | | | | | | IP_TRANSPARENT | | | | | | +--------+ | | +---------+ | | | | 3. packet <--| | | | | |<-- | | | enters | netkit |<===========|======| netkit | | | | [proxy] | peer |=======(eBPF)=====>| primary | | | | 4. packet -->| | | | | | | | leaves +--------+ | +---------+ | | | sip=10.244.0.10 | | | +-------------------------+ | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Using the proxy use case as an example, in step 5 we would redirect traffic leaving the proxy towards the pod's peer device using bpf_redirect_peer(BPF_F_EGRESS). As a bonus, since the skb doesn't have to go through the backlog queue it can take full advantage of netkit's performance benefits. I set up a test where outgoing iperf3 traffic is injected into the datapath of another pod using either bpf_redirect_peer(BPF_F_EGRESS) or bpf_redirect(BPF_F_INGRESS). I used Cilium's eBPF host routing mode which skips the host stack and uses BPF redirect helpers to do all the routing.

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.

With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included. - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code. This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends. All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code. The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only call finish_open() on freshly created files and use finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular files via the do_open() safety net. Cleanups: - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest harness is much easier to follow and maintain.

2026-06-10bonding: 3ad: add lacp_strict configuration knobLouis Scalbert
When an 802.3ad (LACP) bonding interface has no slaves in the collecting/distributing state, the bonding master still reports carrier as up as long as at least 'min_links' slaves have carrier. In this situation, only one slave is effectively used for TX/RX, while traffic received on other slaves is dropped. Upper-layer daemons therefore consider the interface operational, even though traffic may be blackholed if the lack of LACP negotiation means the partner is not ready to deal with traffic. Introduce a configuration knob to control this behavior. It allows the bonding master to assert carrier only when at least 'min_links' slaves are in Collecting_Distributing state. The default mode preserves the existing behavior. This patch only introduces the knob; its behavior is implemented in the subsequent commit.

2026-06-07bpf: Add support for tracing_multi link sessionJiri Olsa
Adding support to use session attachment with tracing_multi link. Adding new BPF_TRACE_FSESSION_MULTI program attach type, that follows the BPF_TRACE_FSESSION behaviour but on the tracing_multi link. Such program is called on entry and exit of the attached function and allows to pass cookie value from entry to exit execution.

2026-06-07bpf: Add support for tracing_multi link cookiesJiri Olsa
Add support to specify cookies for tracing_multi link. Cookies are provided in array where each value is paired with provided BTF ID value with the same array index. Such cookie can be retrieved by bpf program with bpf_get_attach_cookie helper call. We need to sort cookies array together with ids array in check_dup_ids, to keep the id->cookie relation.
