netdev: preserve NETIF_F_ALL_FOR_ALL across TSO updates

2026-01-19T12:12:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 02d1e1a3f9239cdb3ecf2c6d365fb959d1bf39df ] Directly increment the TSO features incurs a side effect: it will also directly clear the flags in NETIF_F_ALL_FOR_ALL on the master device, which can cause issues such as the inability to enable the nocache copy feature on the bonding driver. The fix is to include NETIF_F_ALL_FOR_ALL in the update mask, thereby preventing it from being cleared.

dev_forward_skb: do not scrub skb mark within the same name space

2023-10-25T09:54:18+00:00

commit ff70202b2d1ad522275c6aadc8c53519b6a22c57 upstream. The goal is to keep the mark during a bpf_redirect(), like it is done for legacy encapsulation / decapsulation, when there is no x-netns. This was initially done in commit 213dd74aee76 ("skbuff: Do not scrub skb mark within the same name space"). When the call to skb_scrub_packet() was added in dev_forward_skb() (commit 8b27f27797ca ("skb: allow skb_scrub_packet() to be used by tunnels")), the second argument (xnet) was set to true to force a call to skb_orphan(). At this time, the mark was always cleanned up by skb_scrub_packet(), whatever xnet value was. This call to skb_orphan() was removed later in commit 9c4c325252c5 ("skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing the skb."). But this 'true' stayed here without any real reason. Let's correctly set xnet in ____dev_forward_skb(), this function has access to the previous interface and to the new interface. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S.

net: create netdev->dev_addr assignment helpers

[ Upstream commit 48eab831ae8b9f7002a533fa4235eed63ea1f1a3 ] Recent work on converting address list to a tree made it obvious we need an abstraction around writing netdev->dev_addr. Without such abstraction updating the main device address is invisible to the core.

Remove DECnet support from kernel

2023-06-21T13:45:38+00:00

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream. DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

net: add atomic_long_t to net_device_stats fields

2023-01-14T09:16:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6c1c5097781f563b70a81683ea6fdac21637573b ] Long standing KCSAN issues are caused by data-race around some dev->stats changes. Most performance critical paths already use per-cpu variables, or per-queue ones. It is reasonable (and more correct) to use atomic operations for the slow paths. This patch adds an union for each field of net_device_stats, so that we can convert paths that are not yet protected by a spinlock or a mutex. netdev_stats_to_stats64() no longer has an #if BITS_PER_LONG==64 Note that the memcpy() we were using on 64bit arches had no provision to avoid load-tearing, while atomic_long_read() is providing the needed protection at no cost.
