kernfs: pass struct ns_common instead of const void * for namespace tags

2026-04-09T12:36:52+00:00

kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are cast to void *. Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers. This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(), and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags. Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction. This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

RDMA: Clarify that CQ resize is a user‑space verb

RDMA: Add IB_UVERBS_CORE_SUPPORT_ROBUST_UDATA

2026-03-08T10:20:25+00:00

This flag can be set by drivers once they have finished auditing and implementing the full udata support on every udata operation. My intention going forward is that driver authors proposing new udata uAPI for their drivers must first do the work and set this flag. If this flag is not set the userspace should not try to use udata based uAPI newer than this commit, though on a case by case basis it may be OK based on what checks historical kernels performed on the specific call. Since bnxt_re is audited now, it is the first driver to set the flag. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/r/13-v3-bd56dd443069+49-bnxt_re_uapi_jgg@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe

Add support for TLP emulation

2026-03-05T10:41:16+00:00

This series adds support for Transaction Layer Packet (TLP) emulation response gateway regions, enabling userspace device emulation software to write TLP responses directly to lower layers without kernel driver involvement. Currently, the mlx5 driver exposes VirtIO emulation access regions via the MLX5_IB_METHOD_VAR_OBJ_ALLOC ioctl. This series extends that ioctl to also support allocating TLP response gateway channels for PCI device emulation use cases. Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky

RDMA/core: Fix stale RoCE GIDs during netdev events at registration

2026-02-24T08:43:16+00:00

RoCE GID entries become stale when netdev properties change during the IB device registration window. This is reproducible with a udev rule that sets a MAC address when a VF netdev appears: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth4", \ RUN+="/sbin/ip link set eth4 address 88:22:33:44:55:66" After VF creation, show_gids displays GIDs derived from the original random MAC rather than the configured one. The root cause is a race between netdev event processing and device registration: CPU 0 (driver) CPU 1 (udev/workqueue) ────────────── ────────────────────── ib_register_device() ib_cache_setup_one() gid_table_setup_one() _gid_table_setup_one() ← GID table allocated rdma_roce_rescan_device() ← GIDs populated with OLD MAC ip link set eth4 addr NEW_MAC NETDEV_CHANGEADDR queued netdevice_event_work_handler() ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() ← Iterates DEVICE_REGISTERED ← Device NOT marked yet, SKIP! enable_device_and_get() xa_set_mark(DEVICE_REGISTERED) ← Too late, event was lost The netdev event handler uses ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() which only iterates devices marked DEVICE_REGISTERED. However, this mark is set late in the registration process, after the GID cache is already populated. Events arriving in this window are silently dropped. Fix this by introducing a new xarray mark DEVICE_GID_UPDATES that is set immediately after the GID table is allocated and initialized. Use the new mark in ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() function to iterate devices instead of DEVICE_REGISTERED. This is safe because: - After _gid_table_setup_one(), all required structures exist (port_data, immutable, cache.gid) - The GID table mutex serializes concurrent access between the initial rescan and event handlers - Event handlers correctly update stale GIDs even when racing with rescan - The mark is cleared in ib_cache_cleanup_one() before teardown This also fixes similar races for IP address events (inetaddr_event, inet6addr_event) which use the same enumeration path.
