In this chapter: - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal - Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU. It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock. - Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior. - Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement. - Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit timeout. - Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic. - Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos. - Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256. - Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option, because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40). - Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6). - Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments). - Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address. - Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()). - Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2). - Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit). - Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies. The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors. The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration. - Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE. - Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter. Cross-tree stuff: - Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects. - Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global crypto API as obsolete and insecure. Wireless: - Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower capability than AP. - Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed). - More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast, schedule improvements, multi-station etc.) - Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support). - Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs. Netfilter: - Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces. - Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy. Deletions: - Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it). - Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the vendor that added this are AWOL. - Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits. - Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository. - Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely, soon. - Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211.

They lack support for the recently introduced AUX clocks and do not provide the underlying counter value (e.g. TSC) to user space. Exposing the counter value snapshot allows for better control and steering. Convert the hard wired ktime_get_snapshot() to take a clock ID, which allows the caller to select the clock ID to be captured along with CLOCK_MONONOTONIC_RAW. Additionally capture the underlying hardware counter value and the clock source ID of the counter. Expand the hardware based snapshot capture where devices provide a mechanism to snapshot the hardware PTP clock and the system counter (usually via PCI/PTM) to support AUX clocks and also provide the captured counter value back to the caller and not only the clock timestamps derived from it. - Add a new optional read_snapshot() callback to clocksources That is required to capture atomic snapshots from clocksources which are derived from TSC with a scaling mechanism (e.g. Hyper-V, KVMclock). The value pair is handed back in the snapshot structure to the callers, so they can do the necessary correlations in a more precise way. This touches usage sites of the affected functions and data structure all over the tree, but stays fully backwards compatible for the existing user space exposed interfaces. New PTP IOCTLs will provide access to the extended functionality in later kernel versions" * tag 'timers-ptp-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (28 commits) ptp: vmclock: Use hw_cycles from snapshot for precise TSC pairing x86/kvmclock: Implement read_snapshot() for kvmclock clocksource clocksource/hyperv: Implement read_snapshot() for TSC page clocksource timekeeping: Add clocksource read_snapshot() method and hw_cycles to snapshot ptp: Switch to ktime_get_snapshot_id() for pre/post timestamps timekeeping: Add support for AUX clock cross timestamping timekeeping: Remove system_device_crosststamp::sys_realtime ALSA: hda/common: Use system_device_crosststamp::sys_systime wifi: iwlwifi: Use system_device_crosststamp::sys_systime ptp: Use system_device_crosststamp::sys_systime timekeeping: Prepare for cross timestamps on arbitrary clock IDs timekeeping: Remove ktime_get_snapshot() virtio_rtc: Use provided clock ID for history snapshot net/mlx5: Use provided clock ID for history snapshot igc: Use provided clock ID for history snapshot ice/ptp: Use provided clock ID for history snapshot wifi: iwlwifi: Adopt PTP cross timestamps to core changes timekeeping: Add CLOCK ID to system_device_crosststamp timekeeping: Add system_counterval_t to struct system_device_crosststamp timekeeping: Add CLOCK_AUX support for ktime_get_snapshot_id() ... 2026-06-10T14:59:45+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2026-06-10T14:59:45+00:00 urn:sha1:972c4dd19cb92e03d75b66c426cfade07582a1ba Johannes Berg says: ==================== Quite a few last updates, notably: - b43: new support for an 11n device - mt76: - mt792x broken usb transport detection - mt7921 regd improvements - mt7927 support - iwlwifi: - more kunit tests - FW version updates - ath12k: WDS support - rtw89: - RTL8922AU support - USB 3 mode switch for performance - better monitor radiotap support - RTL8922DE preparations - cfg80211/mac80211: - update UHR to D1.4, UHR DBE support - finally remove 5/10 MHz support - S1G rate reporting - multicast encapsulation offload * tag 'wireless-next-2026-06-10' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-next: (285 commits) b43: add RF power offset for N-PHY r8 + radio 2057 r8 b43: add channel info table for N-PHY r8 + radio 2057 r8 b43: add IPA TX gain table for N-PHY r8 + radio 2057 r8 b43: support radio 2057 rev 8 b43: route d11 corerev 22 to 24-bit indirect radio access b43: add d11 core revision 0x16 to id table b43: add firmware mappings for rev22 rfkill: Replace strcpy() with memcpy() wifi: brcmfmac: flowring: simplify flow allocation wifi: brcm80211: change current_bss to value wifi: ath12k: enable IEEE80211_VHT_EXT_NSS_BW_CAPABLE when NSS ratio is reported wifi: ath12k: fix EAPOL TX failure caused by stale tcl_metadata bits wifi: ath: Update copyright in testmode_i.h wifi: ath10k: Update Qualcomm copyrights wifi: ath11k: Update Qualcomm copyrights wifi: ath12k: Update Qualcomm copyrights wifi: mt76: Drop unneeded mt76_register_debugfs_fops() return checks wifi: mt76: mt7921: assert sniffer on chanctx change wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix potential tx_retries underflow wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix potential tx_retries underflow ... ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260610103637.179340-3-johannes@sipsolutions.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> 2026-06-04T22:29:04+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2026-06-04T22:26:27+00:00 urn:sha1:8d72997dab65b1e9e3220302e26eaecd9b99c02f Cross-merge networking fixes after downstream PR (net-7.1-rc7).
