net: sched: generalize check for no-queue qdisc on TX queue

2025-12-06T21:24:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 34dd0fecaa02d654c447d43a7e4c72f9b18b7033 ] The "noqueue" qdisc can either be directly attached, or get default attached if net_device priv_flags has IFF_NO_QUEUE. In both cases, the allocated Qdisc structure gets it's enqueue function pointer reset to NULL by noqueue_init() via noqueue_qdisc_ops. This is a common case for software virtual net_devices. For these devices with no-queue, the transmission path in __dev_queue_xmit() will bypass the qdisc layer. Directly invoking device drivers ndo_start_xmit (via dev_hard_start_xmit). In this mode the device driver is not allowed to ask for packets to be queued (either via returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or stopping the TXQ). The simplest and most reliable way to identify this no-queue case is by checking if enqueue == NULL. The vrf driver currently open-codes this check (!qdisc->enqueue). While functionally correct, this low-level detail is better encapsulated in a dedicated helper for clarity and long-term maintainability. To make this behavior more explicit and reusable, this patch introduce a new helper: qdisc_txq_has_no_queue(). Helper will also be used by the veth driver in the next patch, which introduces optional qdisc-based backpressure. This is a non-functional change.

vrf: revert "vrf: Remove unnecessary RCU-bh critical section"

This reverts commit 504fc6f4f7f681d2a03aa5f68aad549d90eab853. dev_queue_xmit_nit is expected to be called with BH disabled. __dev_queue_xmit has the following: /* Disable soft irqs for various locks below.

sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers

2024-07-24T18:59:29+00:00

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

net: vrf: move to generic dstat helpers

2024-06-12T02:24:56+00:00

The vrf driver has its own dstats-to-rtnl_link_stats64 collection, but we now have a generic implementation for dstats collection, so switch to this. In doing so, we fix a minor issue where the (non-percpu) dev->stats->tx_errors value was never collected into rtnl_link_stats64, as the generic dev_get_dstats64() consumes the starting values from dev->stats.

net: core,vrf: Change pcpu_dstat fields to u64_stats_t

2024-06-12T02:24:56+00:00

The pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_lstats structs both contain a set of u64_stats_t fields for individual stats, but pcpu_dstats uses u64s instead. Make this consistent by using u64_stats_t across all stats types. The per-cpu dstats are only used by the vrf driver at present, so update that driver as part of this change.

inet: introduce dst_rtable() helper

2024-05-01T01:32:38+00:00

I added dst_rt6_info() in commit e8dfd42c17fa ("ipv6: introduce dst_rt6_info() helper") This patch does a similar change for IPv4. Instead of (struct rtable *)dst casts, we can use : #define dst_rtable(_ptr) \ container_of_const(_ptr, struct rtable, dst) Patch is smaller than IPv6 one, because IPv4 has skb_rtable() helper.
