5 daystls: keep TX and RX hardware offload on the same deviceRishikesh Jethwani
After TX is offloaded on device A, a route change, or a change in the usable-slave set of an 802.3ad or balance-xor (layer3+4) bond, can make RX setup program device B. tls_device_attach() sees the existing TLS destructor and keeps ctx->netdev pointing at A. The RX driver state on B is then untracked: tls_dev_resync() and tls_dev_del() are invoked on A for a context it never created, and neither socket close nor NETDEV_DOWN on B calls tls_dev_del() for B, so the driver context leaks. The reverse setup order has the same problem. Check the shared device binding under device_offload_lock before each tls_dev_add(). Permit the first attachment and a second direction on the same device. Reject a different device, including when the old binding was cleared by NETDEV_DOWN: the TLS destructor remains installed and tls_device_attach() cannot establish a new binding. Setup then falls back to software for the requested direction. The RX check precedes allocation and software setup. TX uses its existing resource unwind path without calling the driver. Document the shared binding and clarify that fallback is per direction. This issue was discovered during code review and subsequently reproduced on hardware using mlx5 and TLS 1.2 AES-GCM-128. Changing the route between TX and RX setup installed the second direction on a different device. Driver traces showed successful adds on both devices, but both deletes at socket close targeted the first device, leaving an orphaned context on the second. Both setup orders reproduced the leak, even though all current core TLS context counters returned to zero. No crash was observed. With the fix, the same tests correctly fall back to software for the second direction and leave no orphaned hardware context.

6 daystcp: limit tcp_tso_rtt_log to a valid shift countYingjie Wang
tcp_tso_autosize() right-shifts the u32 returned by tcp_min_rtt() by sysctl_tcp_tso_rtt_log. The sysctl uses proc_dou8vec_minmax() without an upper bound, so it accepts values through 255. Values above 31 make the shift undefined. A process with CAP_NET_ADMIN in the target network namespace can set the per-netns sysctl. With CONFIG_UBSAN_SHIFT=y, setting it to 32 and sending TCP data over loopback triggers: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:2264:30 shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int' Call Trace: __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds tcp_tso_segs tcp_write_xmit __tcp_push_pending_frames tcp_push tcp_sendmsg_locked Limit the sysctl to 31, the largest valid shift count for a u32, and document the accepted range. Writes of larger values now fail with -EINVAL. On a UBSAN/KASAN build of the net tree, values 0 and 31 remained accepted, values 32 and 255 returned -EINVAL, and TCP traffic with the valid boundary values produced no sanitizer diagnostics.

12 daysnet: unix: reject negative max_dgram_qlen valuesYingjie Wang
net.unix.max_dgram_qlen is parsed as a signed int and copied to the u32 sock::sk_max_ack_backlog when an AF_UNIX socket is created. Consequently, a negative value such as -1 is accepted and converted to UINT_MAX. Since the receive queue length is also u32, its fullness check cannot become true for that limit. max_dgram_qlen has no documented negative sentinel. Its existing signed interface represents nonnegative values only through INT_MAX; negative bit patterns are not a supported encoding for the upper half of the u32 consumer range. Switch to proc_dointvec_minmax and make the established 0..INT_MAX input range explicit. This rejects negative values without adding new accepted values or changing the default and zero-value behavior. Very large valid values can still make the queue limit impractical to reach; this change corrects the input domain rather than imposing a new resource ceiling.

Previously, neigh_managed_work() was not rescheduled within 1s since commit ed6cd6a17896 ("net, neigh: Set lower cap for neigh_managed_work rearming"). Later, commit 211da42eaa45 ("net, neigh: introduce interval_probe_time_ms for periodic probe") added INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS and changed the limit to 1ms. The limit actually did not work but was fixed with netlink_range_validation by commit 6d79b223ec44 ("neighbour: Enforce min/max to NDTPA_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS."). neigh_table is now per-netns, and a user could hog CPU by setting INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS to a small value. Let's floor the value at 1 second. This is a user-visible change, but given we had the 1s floor before and the default is 5s, it is unlikely that anyone but syzbot is setting it below 1s and affected by this change.

2026-10-11netfilter: disable br_netfilter in user namespacesFlorian Westphal
br_netfilter has way too many bugs, schedule for removal and disable the feature in user namespaces. In particular, we get more and more gadgets to have bridge ports escape rcu_read_lock() protection, then underlying device gets reconfigured (macvlan or something else), then reinject into network stack causes crash because net_device is assumed to still have bridge rx data associated with it. br_netfilter is an ancient kludge that emulates ip stack from within the bridge and then calls into ipv4/ipv6 netfilter hooks to have bridged frames processed via iptables/ip6tables by setting the 'call-iptables' sysctls to 1. It is NOT related to ebtables or nftables 'bridge' family at all. Note that in addition to call-iptables, sysctls, the bridge also exposes call-iptables per bridge device via netlink and sysfs ('BROPT_NF_CALL_IPTABLES') toggles. Those are still available, the brnet structure is scoped to br_netfilter; exposing it bridge-wide is a big no-no. This relies on brnf_device_event() no longer registering the base br_netfilter hooks, so while BROPT_NF_CALL_IPTABLES can be set, it has no effect because the hooks that evaluate this feature bit are never registered. brnf_init_net can no longer depend on CONFIG_SYSCTL, else such builds never disable support in user namespaces.

2026-10-10bpf: 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.

2026-10-10bpf: 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.

2026-10-06strparser: make sure __strp_recv isn't running before tearing down the parserSabrina Dubroca
The comment above strp_done() claims that if strp is stopped, strp_recv will no longer be called. That's only true if the caller has a mechanism (eg locking) to guarantee that strp_recv() calls that started before strp_stop() have completed by the time we call strp_done(). This adds a dummy lock_sock/release_sock pair to guarantee that any in-flight strp_recv() (which runs under either bh_lock_sock or lock_sock, depending if it's called from ->sk_data_ready or strp_work) has completed. Only espintcp can be affected by this race condition, but this patch makes sure no future user of strp can have the bug. This could crash on strp->sk ("general mode" of strp), but this mode has been here for 9 years and has never been used. It'll be gone soon, no point worrying about it. Switch the stopped/paused/etc bits to u8's to avoid races between strp_stop() and strp_pause/unpause(). A reproducer has been published and turns the possible UAF into an exploit [1].

2026-10-05tcp: add tp->tcp_nospaceEric Dumazet
tcp_check_space() runs for every incoming ACK and for every packet we send, and reads SOCK_NOSPACE from sk->sk_socket->flags. struct socket lives in its own cache line, which the TCP fast paths do not otherwise touch, so testing sk->sk_socket->flags pulls in an extra cache line that is cold when the working set is large. Add tp->tcp_nospace, a mirror of SOCK_NOSPACE placed right after tp->chrono_type in the tcp_sock_write_tx group, in a cache line both the transmit and the ACK paths already touch (bytes_sent, data_segs_out, delivered, bytes_acked, chrono_type). It fits in an existing 3-byte hole before chrono_start, so no other field moves and sizeof(struct tcp_sock) is unchanged. The two flags are now only changed from sk_set_nospace() and sk_clear_nospace(), which maintain this invariant: SOCK_NOSPACE set => tp->tcp_nospace set sk_set_nospace() sets SOCK_NOSPACE before tp->tcp_nospace (using smp_mb__after_atomic() and smp_store_mb()), while sk_clear_nospace() clears tp->tcp_nospace before SOCK_NOSPACE (using smp_mb__before_atomic()). If a lockless sk_set_nospace() from tcp_poll() races with sk_clear_nospace() and SOCK_NOSPACE ends up set, set_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE) happened after clear_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE), so tp->tcp_nospace = 1 happens after tp->tcp_nospace = 0 as well. tcp_check_space() can thus test tp->tcp_nospace alone and leave the authoritative SOCK_NOSPACE test to __tcp_check_space(). The invariant is one directional on purpose: a stale tp->tcp_nospace only costs an extra call to __tcp_check_space(), which is what we do unconditionally today, while a stale SOCK_NOSPACE would cost a missed EPOLLOUT. Note the smp_mb() is kept. tcp_poll() sets the flag without the socket lock, and the store-buffer pattern it forms with tcp_check_space() needs a full barrier on both sides. MPTCP subflows share the struct socket of their parent, hence its SOCK_NOSPACE bit, which can not be mirrored in the subflow tcp_sock. Pin their tp->tcp_nospace in subflow_ulp_init(), so that they always reach __tcp_check_space() and keep the current behavior. Microbenchmark on an AMD EPYC 7B13, 64 threads, each thread calling tcp_check_space() in a loop over a private set of sockets. Numbers are cycles per call above a baseline loop that performs the work the callers already did (the cache lines tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_clean_rtx_queue() touched) but not tcp_check_space() itself, so they are the marginal cost of the function.

2026-10-05net: psp: require an established connection for association setupDaniel Zahka
Check sk_state under the socket lock in both the rx-assoc and tx-assoc handlers, and only allow association setup on sockets in TCP_ESTABLISHED. Also, fail connect() when PSP assoc state is already present, and remove the dead PSP MSS adjustment from tcp_v[46]_connect(). The net effect of this commit is: 1. PSP assoc state can never exist on a listen socket. 2. The upgrade to PSP must be done while the socket is in TCP_ESTABLISHED. This change defeatures behavior that was previously allowed under the PSP uapi. My justification is: Nothing useful can be done after association setup on closed or listen sockets today. Listen sockets could accept a PSP-encrypted TCP SYN, but the child socket will not inherit any PSP state. On the other side, establishing PSP state prior to connect() will result in a PSP-encrypted TCP SYN sent to a listening peer, which in turn has the aforementioned limitations. That implies that there cannot be any users of this feature, so it should be safe to remove it from the PSP uapi. In theory, the check in the tx-assoc path is more restrictive than necessary. FIN_WAIT1/2, CLOSING, LAST_ACK and CLOSE_WAIT could be allowed, and the peer would accept PSP-encrypted ACKs in the post-FIN-sent states, or data in the half-close case, but it is simpler to disallow those states because they don't fit the upgrade model. The check in the tx-assoc path fixes a bug in commit 6b46ca260e22 ("net: psp: add socket security association code") where an unsynchronized write can be performed on an assoc shared with a timewait socket when the socket is in TCP_CLOSE after shutdown.

2026-09-29ipv6: update NUD_FAILED neighbors from NA messagesLawrence Lee
Transition a FAILED neighbor entry to STALE upon receipt of an NA message on routers when accept_untracked_na is enabled. This extends the RFC 9131 accept_untracked_na behavior so that FAILED entries are treated the same as non-existent entries. RFC 4861 section 7.3.3 says that an entry should be deleted when address resolution fails. Linux instead retains the entry in NUD_FAILED, so treating it as untracked is consistent with the protocol model. Trying to resolve FAILED neighbors via periodic probing (e.g. using NTF_EXT_MANAGED) is more work compared to this approach which uses information in NAs that the kernel may already be receiving. Note that because this behavior in IPv6 is dependent on the accept_untracked_na sysctl setting, this approach is more conservative than IPv4 which transitions FAILED neighbors to STALE by default upon receiving GARPs.

2026-09-25net: ethtool: generate RSS keys that spread flows over all queuesEric Dumazet
netdev_rss_key_fill() returns a key made of uniformly random bytes. That is not enough, because the Toeplitz hash is linear over GF(2). Walking the hash input MSB first, each set bit contributes a 32-bit sliding window of the key, and hardware indexes the indirection table with the low order bits of the result. Only the tail of each window therefore reaches the queue index: v(i) = key bits [i + 32 - q .. i + 31] with q = log2(number of RX queues). Consecutive input bits give windows overlapping in q - 1 positions, so the q vectors belonging to the q lowest bits of a header field form a Toeplitz matrix built from 2 * q - 1 key bits, rather than q * q independent ones. Over GF(2) a random Toeplitz matrix is singular with probability exactly 1/2, whatever its size. When it is singular, flows differing only in the low order bits of that field cannot reach all the queues. This is not theoretical: a burst of connections draws ephemeral ports from a narrow range, and on one affected host only 4 of the 16 RX queues received any traffic at all, until its key was replaced. Keep drawing the key at random, since it is a secret that stops a remote attacker from steering flows onto a single queue, but force the handful of bits that decide this. Writing d[t] for key bit (lsb + 31 - t), where lsb is the position of the least significant bit of a field in the hash input, the matrices of all the q values up to 8 are non singular if and only if d[2 * i] = 1 ^ d[i] ^ d[i + 1] ^ ... ^ d[2 * i - 1] The odd positions stay free, so this is a one pass fixup rather than a search. It is in fact a bijection from those free positions onto the set of the values having the property, so the key stays uniformly distributed over that set and the whole cost is 8 bits of entropy per position. Searching for such a key by rejection would not have been an option: a freshly drawn one has the property everywhere with probability 2^-1008. Apply this at every 16-bit aligned position of the key, rather than at the offsets of the 2-tuple and 4-tuple layouts only. The core does not get to know what a given NIC hashes. Hardware may select the bytes it feeds to Toeplitz out of a header window with a bitmap, and hash an encapsulated header: for PSP over UDP over IPv6 it can pick the outer addresses and the inner TCP ports, which sit 78 bytes into the frame and read key bits well past the 40 bytes an IPv6 4-tuple needs. Hashed fields are 16 bits wide at the smallest and are not expected to straddle that grid, so covering the grid covers the layouts that were never written down, at no cost in code. This spends 8 bits of entropy per position, 1008 bits out of the 2048 bits of netdev_rss_key, leaving 1040 bits. 8 is also the largest usable bound, as each q constrains 2 * q - 1 bits and anything larger would make the ranges of two adjacent positions overlap. What the fixup leaves behind is visible structure: 8 of every 16 bits are derived from the 8 others, so a 16-bit aligned word of the key takes only 2^8 values and about 27 of the 128 words of netdev_rss_key duplicate another one. That much is forced rather than an artefact of this implementation, 1040 bits spread over 128 words being a little over 8 bits each, but it has one consequence worth removing. Two 32-bit windows a whole number of words apart now collide with probability 2^-16 instead of 2^-32, and two input bits reading the same window are indistinguishable to the hash, since flipping both of them leaves it unchanged. Over 500 keys, 23% of them had such a pair, where a uniformly random key has one with probability 2^-11. So draw another key when that happens. Four out of five pass. Which distances to look at follows from where the structure is: covering the multiples of 16 leaves 1.2e-3 expected colliding pairs per key, still 2.6 times the 4.6e-4 of a plain random key, and almost all of that excess sits at a distance of 8 modulo 16. Covering every multiple of 8 brings the total down to 4.2e-4, below what a plain random key gives over all distances, and within a few percent of the 4.0e-4 it gives over the distances that are left. Two windows a multiple of 8 bits apart are two windows at the same offset modulo 8, so this is a handful of pairwise sweeps rather than one pass over the key per distance. DO_ONCE() runs the generator under a spinlock with hard IRQs disabled, so keep the windows of a class in an array rather than recomputing both sides of every pair: 116 us instead of 254 us for the worst case, a 2048-bit key with no collision anywhere, at a cost of 512 bytes of stack. The shared key is fixed up once and every driver prefix inherits both properties. Move netdev_rss_key and netdev_rss_key_fill() from net/ethtool/ioctl.c to net/ethtool/common.c, and move the netdev_rss_key declaration out of include/linux/netdevice.h into net/core/dev.h. Checked against an independent Toeplitz implementation: for every 16-bit aligned position and every q in 1..8, an aligned block of 2^q consecutive values of a field ending there lands on the 2^q queues exactly once each. Over 20 random keys that is 20160 checks, which 50.1% of plain random keys fail and none of the generated keys do, for an average of 502 rewritten bits out of 2048.

The Lattice MachXO3 CPLD on the ADVA TimeCard X1 is programmed over I2C using in-system programming (ISP). Build on the TMC bus arbitration added previously and expose the update path as a devlink flash component, next to the card flash the driver already writes through devlink. The component is named fw.cpld and reported as a running version, so ->info_get() both publishes the USERCODE of the image currently in the part and lets the core accept the name: devlink dev flash pci/0000:02:00.0 file adva-cpld.bin component fw.cpld Flashing acquires the bus, erases the configuration flash, programs the image page by page and activates it with the MachXO3 REFRESH command, reporting progress with the standard devlink notifications. The CPLD is required to come back with DONE set, not busy and no error code before the update is called successful, as drivers/fpga/machxo2-spi.c does. The whole sequence runs under cpld_lock and the i2c adapter lock, so an EEPROM read blocks for as long as programming takes; the alternative is reading the TMC bus instead.

2026-09-21ptp: ocp: add TAP CPLD access for ADVA TimeCard X1Sagi Maimon
The ADVA TimeCard X1 carries a Lattice MachXO3 CPLD on its TMC I2C bus. Reaching it means taking that bus from the on-card MicroBlaze first. The card has two I2C controllers. Linux registers only the one at 0x00150000, normally routed to the config EEPROMs; the one at 0x00120000 belongs to the MicroBlaze and is routed to the TMC or M.2 bus as its firmware selects. A request/grant handshake re-routes the host controller onto the TMC bus, where the PCA9548 and the CPLD behind its channel 0 live. An operation takes the i2c core adapter lock for the whole grant window and uses __i2c_transfer() internally; without that, a concurrent transfer from ptp_ocp_read_eeprom(), from the nvmem attributes or from the at24 sysfs files would be issued onto the TMC bus instead of to the EEPROM. The hand-back waits for the firmware to drop the grant before the adapter lock is released, for the same reason. On top of the arbitration this adds two read-only interfaces: a root-only cpld_status attribute reporting the flags in the CPLD status register, and the Lattice device ID as the fixed devlink version cpld.id. Reading the ID claims the bus, so it must not sit on DEVLINK_CMD_INFO_GET, which carries no GENL_ADMIN_PERM; the driver reads it once from its own worker, as soon as the i2c adapter has registered, and info_get() reports the cached value.

2026-09-18net: phy: factor out legacy PHY fixup support and make it always built-inHeiner Kallweit
PHY fixup registration is used from platform code in init phase only. Let's move the PHY fixup code from the modular part of phylib to the always built-in part of phylib. This allows to annotate the fixup registration as __init. No caller uses the return code of PHY fixup registration, therefore change related functions to return void. phy_needs_fixup() and phy_scan_fixups() wouldn't have to be moved to the built-in part of phylib. But doing so allows to fully factor out legacy fixup support into its own source code file, and make struct phy_fixup and phy_fixup_list strictly private to phy_fixup.c. phy_scan_fixups() is used after init phase only, then phy_fixup_list is read-only. So we don't need the mutex when accessing the list. Also when registering PHY fixups the mutex isn't needed, because fixup registration is done sequentially from platform init code. Actually there is only one platform with more than one fixup. In addition this change lays the foundation for enabling modular phylib on platforms where the fixup just sets a flag. Last but not least reflect the change in the documentation, and add a hint that fixup's are legacy functionality.

2026-09-15tcp: do not let tcp_rmem be set below 4096Eric Dumazet
We can hit a division by zero crash in tcp_rcvbuf_grow() and tcp_rcv_space_adjust(): divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP RIP: 0010:tcp_rcvbuf_grow+0x187/0x450 net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:939 ... grow = div_u64(((u64)rcvwin << 1) * (newval - oldval), oldval); The division uses oldval = tp->rcvq_space.space as divisor. When tp->rcvq_space.space is zero, this leads to a divide-by-zero exception. tp->rcvq_space.space is initialized in tcp_init_buffer_space(): tp->rcvq_space.space = min3(tp->rcv_ssthresh, tp->rcv_wnd, (u32)TCP_INIT_CWND * tp->advmss); If tcp_rmem[1] is configured to very small values (such as 1), sk->sk_rcvbuf is initialized to 1. Then tcp_full_space(sk), which computes (sk->sk_rcvbuf * scaling_ratio) >> 8, truncates to 0. This sets tp->window_clamp = 0, tp->rcv_ssthresh = 0, and tp->rcvq_space.space = 0. Later, when data arrives and DRS is invoked, tcp_rcvbuf_grow() divides by oldval == 0. Back in 2015, commit b1cb59cf2efe ("net: sysctl_net_core: check SNDBUF and RCVBUF for min length") ensured that net.core.rmem_default and net.core.rmem_max cannot be set below SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF. Similarly, SO_RCVBUF setsockopt enforces max_t(int, val * 2, SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF). However, net.ipv4.tcp_rmem still had .extra1 = SYSCTL_ONE, allowing arbitrarily small values. Because SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF depends on sizeof(struct sk_buff) and cacheline alignment, its value varies across architectures and configuration options. Using a fixed constant of 4096 ensures a predictable, architecture- independent lower bound that is safely above SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF everywhere and matches the documented 4K default. Fix this by setting tcp_rmem.extra1 to 4096 and updating the documentation.

2026-09-11neighbour: Enforce min/max to NDTPA_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS.Kuniyuki Iwashima
NDTPA_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS sets .type and .min but misses .validation_type, so no validation is applied: # ynl --family rt-neigh --do setneightbl \ --json '{"name": "arp_cache", "parms": {"interval-probe-time-ms": 0}}' # ynl --family rt-neigh --dump getneightbl --output-json | \ jq '.[] | select(.name == "arp_cache" and has("config")) | .parms["interval-probe-time-ms"]' 0 Moreover, nla_get_msecs() uses msecs_to_jiffies(), and u64 is silently cast to u32, so a larger value can bypass the min check: e.g. 4294967296 == 0x100000000 # ynl --family rt-neigh --do setneightbl \ --json '{"name": "arp_cache", "parms": {"interval-probe-time-ms": 4294967296}}' # ynl --family rt-neigh --dump getneightbl --output-json | \ jq '.[] | select(.name == "arp_cache" and has("config")) | .parms["interval-probe-time-ms"]' 0 msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if the value is larger than INT_MAX. Also, INT_MAX ms overflows int NEIGH_VAR() when HZ > 1000 (Alpha, MIPS), and passing a negative integer to queue_delayed_work(unsigned long delay) causes sign extension, which wraps around the expiry time to the past, resulting in it being handled as 0 delay in the timer wheel. Let's use NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE() and limit the max to 1 day. The same max check is applied to sysctl as well. Note that this controls the probe interval for NTF_MANAGED entries, so the max of 1 day is unlikely to break any deployments.

2026-09-10net: run netdev work under the ops-compat lockJakub Kicinski
netdev_work_proc() took rtnl_lock() for the whole batch, forcing even ops-locked drivers onto rtnl just to run their rx_mode / ndo_work callbacks. Take the per-device ops-compat lock instead: the instance lock for ops-locked drivers, rtnl_lock for the rest. That's what the callbacks already assert (e.g. netif_rx_mode_run() asserts netdev_assert_locked_ops_compat()), and non-ops-locked work such as vlan ndo_work keeps rtnl, since its compat lock resolves to rtnl anyway. Without this adding more uses of ndo_work, for cases which don't need rtnl_lock feels like a step back. We can drop the comment about the extra ref now, with the relocking it's a necessity.

An unset local_ip is auto-populated from the egress interface at enable time, but any value the user writes, including 0.0.0.0, is used as-is. This deviates from the behavior prior to "netconsole: use the address family instead of the ipv6 flag", which interpreted 0.0.0.0 as unset. Document this so the distinction between "unset" and "set to 0.0.0.0" is clear.
