afs: Fix uncancelled rxrpc OOB message handler

2026-06-25T17:07:18+00:00

Fix AFS to cancel its OOB message processing (typically to respond to security challenges). Also move OOB message processing to afs_wq so that it's also waited for and make the OOB handler just return if the net namespace is no longer live.

afs: Fix further netns teardown to cancel the preallocation charger

2026-06-25T17:07:18+00:00

When an afs network namespace is torn down, it cancels and waits for the work item that keeps the preallocated rxrpc call/conn/peer queue charged before disabling incoming (i.e. listen 0), but there's a small window in which it can be requeued by an incoming call wending through the I/O thread. Fix this by cancelling the charger work item again after reducing the listen backlog to zero.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues. 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. Drivers: - Software: - Support DEVMEM/DMABUF Tx over NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA devices (netkit) - bonding: add knob to strictly follow 802.3ad for link state - New drivers: - Alibaba Elastic Ethernet Adaptor (cloud vNIC). - NXP NETC switch within i.MX94. - DPLL: - Add operational state to pins (implement in zl3073x). - Add generic DPLL type, for daisy-chaining DPLLs (implement in ice). - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Huawei (hinic3): - enhance tc flow offload support with queue selection, tunnels - nVidia/Mellanox: - avoid over-copying payload to the skb's linear part (up to 60% win for LRO on slow CPUs like ARM64 V2) - expose more per-queue stats over the standard API - support additional, unprivileged PFs in the DPU configuration - support Socket Direct (multi-PF) with switchdev offloads - add a pool / frag allocator for DMA mapped buffers for control objects, save memory on systems with 64kB page size - take advantage of the ability to dynamically change RSS table size, even when table is configured by the user - increase the max RSS table size for even traffic distribution - Ethernet NICs: - Marvell/Aquantia: - AQC113 PTP support - Realtek USB (r8152): - support 10Gbit Link Speeds and Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) - support firmware loaded (for RTL8157/RTL8159) - support for the RTL8159 - Intel (ixgbe): - support Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on E610 devices - Ethernet switches: - Airoha: - support multiple netdevs on a single GDM block / port - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - support SERDES of mv88e6321 - Microchip (ksz8/9): - rework the driver callbacks to remove one indirection layer - Motorcomm (yt921x): - support port rate policing - support TBF qdisc offload - support ACL/flower offload - nVidia/Mellanox: - expose per-PG rx_discards - Realtek: - rtl8365mb: bridge offloading and VLAN support - Ethernet PHYs: - Airoha: - support Airoha AN8801R Gigabit PHYs. - Micrel: - implement 3 low-loss cable tunables - Realtek: - support MDI swapping for RTL8226-CG - support MDIO for RTL931x - Qualcomm: - at803x: Rx and Tx clock management for IPQ5018 PHY - Motorcomm: - support YT8522 100M RMII PHY - set drive strength in YT8531s RGMII - TI: - dp83822: add optional external PHY clock - Bluetooth: - hci_sync: add support for HCI_LE_Set_Host_Feature [v2] - SMP: use AES-CMAC library API - Intel: - support Product level reset - support smart trigger dump - Mediatek: - add event filter to filter specific event - Realtek: - fix RTL8761B/BU broken LE extended scan - WiFi: - Broadcom (b43): - new support for a 11n device - MediaTek (mt76): - support mt7927 - mt792x: broken usb transport detection - mt7921: regulatory improvements - Qualcomm (ath9k): - GPIO interface improvements - Qualcomm (ath12k): - WDS support - replace dynamic memory allocation in WMI Rx path - thermal throttling/cooling device support - 6 GHz incumbent interference detection - channel 177 in 5 GHz - Realtek (rt89): - RTL8922AU support - USB 3 mode switch for performance - better monitor radiotap support - RTL8922DE preparations" * tag 'net-next-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1778 commits) ipv4: fib_rule: Move fib4_rules_exit() to ->exit(). net: serialize netif_running() check in enqueue_to_backlog() net: skmsg: preserve sg.copy across SG transforms appletalk: move the protocol out of tree appletalk: stop storing per-interface state in struct net_device selftests/bpf: test that TLS crypto is rejected on a sockmap socket selftests/bpf: drop the unused kTLS program from test_sockmap selftests/bpf: remove sockmap + ktls tests tls: remove dead sockmap (psock) handling from the SW path tls: reject the combination of TLS and sockmap atm: remove orphaned uAPI for deleted drivers, protocols and SVCs atm: remove unused ATM PHY operations atm: remove the unused pre_send and send_bh device operations atm: remove the unused change_qos device operation atm: remove SVC socket support and the signaling daemon interface atm: remove the local ATM (NSAP) address registry atm: remove dead SONET PHY ioctls atm: remove the unused send_oam / push_oam callbacks atm: remove AAL3/4 transport support net: dsa: sja1105: fix lastused timestamp in flower stats ...

afs: Fix netns teardown to cancel the preallocation charger

2026-06-12T23:48:55+00:00

Fix the teardown of an afs network namespace to make sure it cancels the work item that keeps the preallocated rxrpc call/conn/peer queue charged before incoming calls are disabled (i.e. listen 0). Also, if net->live is false because the afs netns is being deleted, make afs_charge_preallocation() skip charging and make afs_rx_new_call() avoid requeuing the charger.

VFS: use wait_var_event for waiting in d_alloc_parallel()

2026-06-05T04:34:54+00:00

Parallel lookup starts with a call of d_alloc_parallel(). That primitive either returns a matching hashed dentry or allocates a new one in the in-lookup state and returns it to the caller. Once the caller is done with lookup, it indicates so either by call of d_{splice_alias,add}() or by call of d_done_lookup(); at that point dentry leaves the in-lookup state. If d_alloc_parallel() finds a matching in-lookup dentry, it must wait for that dentry to leave the in-lookup state, one way or another. Currently by supplying wait_queue_head to d_alloc_parallel(). If d_alloc_parallel() creates a new in-lookup dentry, the address of that wait_queue_head is stored in ->d_wait of new dentry and stays there while it's in the in-lookup; subsequent d_alloc_parallel() will wait on the queue found in the matching in-lookup dentry. Transition out of in-lookup state wakes waiters on that queue (if any). That works, but the calling conventions are inconvenient - the caller must supply wait_queue_head and make sure that it survives at least until the new in-lookup dentry leaves the in-lookup state. That amounts to boilerplate in the d_alloc_parallel() callers that are followed by a call of d_lookup_done() in the same function; in cases like nfs asynchronous unlink it gets worse than that. This patch changes d_alloc_parallel() to use wake_up_var_locked() to wake up waiters, and wait_var_event_spinlock() to wait. dentry->d_lock is used for synchronisation as it is already held and the relevant times. That eliminates the need of caller-supplied wait_queue_head, simplifying the calling conventions. Better yet, we only need one bit of information stored in dentry itself: whether there are any waiters to be woken up, and that can be easily stored in ->d_flags; ->d_wait goes away. The reason we need that bit (DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS) is that with wait_var machinery the queues are shared with all kinds of stuff and there's no way tell if any of the waiters have anything to do with our dentry; most of the time none of them will be relevant, so we need to avoid the pointless wakeups. Another benefit of the new scheme comes from the fact that wakeups have to be done outside of write-side critical areas of ->i_dir_seq; with the old scheme we need to carry the value picked from ->d_wait from __d_lookup_unhash() to the place where we actually wake the waiters up. Now we can just leave DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS in ->d_flags until we get to doing wakeups - that's done within the same ->d_lock scope, so we are fine; new bit is accessed only under ->d_lock and it's seen only on dentries with DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP in ->d_flags. __d_lookup_unhash() no longer needs to re-init ->d_lru. That was previously shared (in a union) with ->d_wait but ->d_wait is now gone so it no longer corrupts ->d_lru.

afs: Fix the locking used by afs_get_link()

2026-05-12T12:42:33+00:00

The afs filesystem in the kernel doesn't do locking correctly for symbolic links. There are a number of problems: (1) It doesn't do any locking around afs_read_single() to prevent races between multiple ->get_link() calls, thereby allowing the possibility of leaks. (2) It doesn't use RCU barriering when accessing the buffer pointers during RCU pathwalk. (3) It can race with another thread updating the contents of the symlink if a third party updated it on the server. Fix this by the following means: (0) Move symlink handling into its own file as this makes it more complicated. (1) Take the validate_lock around afs_read_single() to prevent races between multiple ->get_link() calls. (2) Keep a separate copy of the symlink contents with an rcu_head. This is always going to be a lot smaller than a page, so it can be kmalloc'd and save quite a bit of memory. It also needs a refcount for non-RCU pathwalk. (3) Split the symlink read and write-to-cache routines in afs from those for directories. (4) Discard the I/O buffer as soon as the write-to-cache completes as this is a full page (plus a folio_queue). (5) If there's no cache, discard the I/O buffer immediately after reading and copying if there is no cache.

netfs, afs: Fix write skipping in dir/link writepages

2026-05-12T12:42:32+00:00

Fix netfs_write_single() and afs_single_writepages() to better handle a write that would be skipped due to lock contention and WB_SYNC_NONE by returning 1 from netfs_write_single() if it skipped and making afs_single_writepages() skip also. If a skip occurs, the inode must be re-marked as the VFS may have cleared the mark. This is really only theoretical for directories in netfs_write_single() as the only path to that is through afs_single_writepages() that takes the ->validate_lock around it, thereby serialising it.

Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner: "For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long, which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field for an inode. This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64. This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but 32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment. The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out carefully. With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be eliminated.
