bpf/bonding: reject vlan+srcmac xmit_hash_policy change when XDP is loaded

2026-03-03T09:47:37+00:00

bond_option_mode_set() already rejects mode changes that would make a loaded XDP program incompatible via bond_xdp_check(). However, bond_option_xmit_hash_policy_set() has no such guard. For 802.3ad and balance-xor modes, bond_xdp_check() returns false when xmit_hash_policy is vlan+srcmac, because the 802.1q payload is usually absent due to hardware offload. This means a user can: 1. Attach a native XDP program to a bond in 802.3ad/balance-xor mode with a compatible xmit_hash_policy (e.g. layer2+3). 2. Change xmit_hash_policy to vlan+srcmac while XDP remains loaded. This leaves bond->xdp_prog set but bond_xdp_check() now returning false for the same device. When the bond is later destroyed, dev_xdp_uninstall() calls bond_xdp_set(dev, NULL, NULL) to remove the program, which hits the bond_xdp_check() guard and returns -EOPNOTSUPP, triggering: WARN_ON(dev_xdp_install(dev, mode, bpf_op, NULL, 0, NULL)) Fix this by rejecting xmit_hash_policy changes to vlan+srcmac when an XDP program is loaded on a bond in 802.3ad or balance-xor mode. commit 39a0876d595b ("net, bonding: Disallow vlan+srcmac with XDP") introduced bond_xdp_check() which returns false for 802.3ad/balance-xor modes when xmit_hash_policy is vlan+srcmac. The check was wired into bond_xdp_set() to reject XDP attachment with an incompatible policy, but the symmetric path -- preventing xmit_hash_policy from being changed to an incompatible value after XDP is already loaded -- was left unguarded in bond_option_xmit_hash_policy_set(). Note: commit 094ee6017ea0 ("bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode") later added a similar guard to bond_option_mode_set(), but bond_option_xmit_hash_policy_set() remained unprotected.

kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users

2026-01-21T03:44:19+00:00

Remove from and update all users/callers of hex.h interfaces to directly #include as part of the process of putting kernel.h on a diet. Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that need it. This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also, all users/callers of in the entire source tree have been updated if needed (if not already #included).

bonding: fix NULL pointer dereference in actor_port_prio setting

2025-11-06T15:16:37+00:00

Liang reported an issue where setting a slave’s actor_port_prio to predefined values such as 0, 255, or 65535 would cause a system crash. The problem occurs because in bond_opt_parse(), when the provided value matches a predefined table entry, the function returns that table entry, which does not contain slave information. Later, in bond_option_actor_port_prio_set(), calling bond_slave_get_rtnl() leads to a NULL pointer dereference. Since actor_port_prio is defined as a u16 and initialized to the default value of 255 in ad_initialize_port(), there is no need for the bond_actor_port_prio_tbl. Using the BOND_OPTFLAG_RAWVAL flag is sufficient.

bonding: support aggregator selection based on port priority

2025-09-09T08:56:02+00:00

Add a new ad_select policy 'port_priority' that uses the per-port actor priority values (set via ad_actor_port_prio) to determine aggregator selection. This allows administrators to influence which ports are preferred for aggregation by assigning different priority values, providing more flexible load balancing control in LACP configurations.

2025-09-09T08:56:02+00:00

Introduce a new netlink attribute 'actor_port_prio' to allow setting the LACP actor port priority on a per-slave basis. This extends the existing bonding infrastructure to support more granular control over LACP negotiations. The priority value is embedded in LACPDU packets and will be used by subsequent patches to influence aggregator selection policies.

bonding: Remove support for use_carrier

2025-09-02T21:01:54+00:00

Remove the implementation of use_carrier, the link monitoring method that utilizes ethtool or ioctl to determine the link state of an interface in a bond. Bonding will always behaves as if use_carrier=1, which relies on netif_carrier_ok() to determine the link state of interfaces. To avoid acquiring RTNL many times per second, bonding inspects link state under RCU, but not under RTNL. However, ethtool implementations in drivers may sleep, and therefore this strategy is unsuitable for use with calls into driver ethtool functions. The use_carrier option was introduced in 2003, to provide backwards compatibility for network device drivers that did not support the then-new netif_carrier_ok/on/off system. Device drivers are now expected to support netif_carrier_*, and the use_carrier backwards compatibility logic is no longer necessary. The option itself remains, but when queried always returns 1, and may only be set to 1.
