Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.

     Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
     twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.

   - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
     queue.

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

     Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
     reordering.

   - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.

   - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
     did for Rx skbs).

   - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.

   - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
     sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.

   - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
     packets.

   - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. 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.

  Driver API:

   - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.

   - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
     defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
     100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.

   - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
     zl3073x).

   - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
     IPsec and performs RSS.

   - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
     default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.

   - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.

   - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
     duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

   - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.

   - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.

   - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
     and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
     operations for PHY timestamping.

   - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
     reading the Rx ring count.

     supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.

<id>urn:sha1:0e50474fa514822e9d990874e554bf8043a201d7</id>
<content type='text'>
Update all struct proto_ops bind() callback function prototypes from
"struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the
compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts
that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch.

No binary changes expected.

<title>crypto: af_alg - zero initialize memory allocated via sock_kmalloc</title>
<updated>2025-10-17T08:03:57+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:6f6e309328d53a10c0fe1f77dec2db73373179b6</id>
<content type='text'>
Several crypto user API contexts and requests allocated with
sock_kmalloc() were left uninitialized, relying on callers to
set fields explicitly. This resulted in the use of uninitialized
data in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the
future.

The ACVP patches also contain two user-space interface files:
algif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on proper
initialization of their context structures.

A particular issue has been observed with the newly added
'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit:

  67b164a871af ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests")

Because the context is not memset to zero after allocation,
the inflight variable has contained garbage values. As a result,
af_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY randomly when
the garbage value was interpreted as true:

  https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209

The check directly tests ctx-&gt;inflight without explicitly
comparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to
true or false later, an uninitialized value has triggered
-EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with
sock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known
state, removing random issues caused by uninitialized data.

<content type='text'>
Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the
data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion.  Furthermore,
concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal
socket state.

Disallow this by adding a new ctx-&gt;write field that indiciates
exclusive ownership for writing.

If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx-&gt;merge may contain
a garbage value from the previous loop.  This may then trigger a
crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do
a merge that can't be done.

Fix this by setting ctx-&gt;merge to zero near the start of the loop.

Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel
invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument.
This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being
able to pass back more information.

No functional changes in this patch.

<id>urn:sha1:1abe267f173eae7ae76cf56232292e9641eb652f</id>
<content type='text'>
While looking at UDP receive performance, I saw sk_wake_async()
was no longer inlined.

This matters at least on AMD Zen1-4 platforms (see SRSO)

This might be because rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
are no longer nops in recent kernels ?

Add sk_wake_async_rcu() variant, which must be called from
contexts already holding rcu lock.

As SOCK_FASYNC is deprecated in modern days, use unlikely()
to give a hint to the compiler.

sk_wake_async_rcu() is properly inlined from
__udp_enqueue_schedule_skb() and sock_def_readable().

Having multiple in-flight AIO requests results in unpredictable

one request at a time.
