ip_tunnel: adapt iptunnel_xmit_stats() to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS

2026-08-23T12:22:51+00:00

commit 8431c602f551549f082bbfa67f3003f2d8e3e132 upstream. Blamed commits forgot that vxlan/geneve use udp_tunnel[6]_xmit_skb() which call iptunnel_xmit_stats(). iptunnel_xmit_stats() was assuming tunnels were only using NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS. @syncp offset in pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_dstats is different. 32bit kernels would either have corruptions or freezes if the syncp sequence was overwritten. This patch also moves pcpu_stat_type closer to dev->{t,d}stats to avoid a potential cache line miss since iptunnel_xmit_stats() needs to read it.

net: harmonize tstats and dstats

2026-08-23T12:22:51+00:00

commit d3ed6dee73c560fad0a8e152c8e233b3fb3a2e44 upstream. After the blamed commits below, some UDP tunnel use dstats for accounting. On the xmit path, all the UDP-base tunnels ends up using iptunnel_xmit_stats() for stats accounting, and the latter assumes the relevant (tunnel) network device uses tstats. The end result is some 'funny' stat report for the mentioned UDP tunnel, e.g. when no packet is actually dropped and a bunch of packets are transmitted: gnv2: mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue \ state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether ee:7d:09:87:90:ea brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff RX: bytes packets errors dropped missed mcast 14916 23 0 15 0 0 TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns 0 1566 0 0 0 0 Address the issue ensuring the same binary layout for the overlapping fields of dstats and tstats. While this solution is a bit hackish, is smaller and with no performance pitfall compared to other alternatives i.e. supporting both dstat and tstat in iptunnel_xmit_stats() or reverting the blamed commit. With time we should possibly move all the IP-based tunnel (and virtual devices) to dstats. Fixes: c77200c07491 ("bareudp: Handle stats using NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS.")

vrf: Make pcpu_dstats update functions available to other modules.

2026-08-23T12:22:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 18eabadd73ae60023ab05e376246bd725fb0c113 ] Currently vrf is the only module that uses NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS. In order to make this kind of statistics available to other modules, we need to define the update functions in netdevice.h. Therefore, let's define dev_dstats_*() functions for RX and TX packet updates (packets, bytes and drops). Use these new functions in vrf.c instead of vrf_rx_stats() and the other manual counter updates. While there, update the type of the "len" variables to "unsigned int", so that there're aligned with both skb->len and the new dstats update functions.

net: remove CAP_SYS_RAWIO zero-padding in dev_validate_header

2026-08-19T16:14:19+00:00

commit 3b9a324e646d3657a8d9806dfbfe4f3e4066e882 upstream. dev_validate_header() reads dev->hard_header_len directly when zero-padding short link layer headers for CAP_SYS_RAWIO holders: if (capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO)) { memset(ll_header + len, 0, dev->hard_header_len - len); return true; } Packet send paths call dev_validate_header() on skbs whose headroom was allocated from an earlier hard_header_len read. If the device is reconfigured so that dev->hard_header_len increases before validation, the memset writes past the reserved buffer, an out-of-bounds write. This out-of-bounds write is masked in some SOCK_RAW paths today because the same concurrent increase can first make skb_push() exceed the reserved headroom and trigger skb_under_panic(). Remove the zero-padding branch before making those hard_header_len reads consistent, so the snapshot fixes do not turn a loud panic into a silent overwrite. This path is only reached for variable length L2 protocols, where len < hard_header_len but len >= min_header_len. No remaining in-tree variable length L2 protocol implements header_ops->validate, and the CAP_SYS_RAWIO bypass that zero-pads and accepts short headers has no real value beyond allowing testing of intentionally malformed input. Drop the CAP_SYS_RAWIO branch. The remaining reads of dev->hard_header_len in dev_validate_header() are comparisons only and have no memory safety impact.

packet: use consistent hard_header_len in non-ring send paths

2026-08-19T16:14:18+00:00

commit 03390aa32e669cc4ecd7d34108e2e1afc13d689d upstream. packet_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len multiple times while allocating and constructing an skb. Device reconfiguration can change this value concurrently, for example through bonding device type changes. For SOCK_RAW, packet_snd() can save a larger value in reserve and later allocate headroom using a smaller value. Moving skb->data back by reserve then places it before skb->head, and the following copy from userspace can attempt an out-of-bounds write. packet_sendmsg_spkt() has the same issue because it calculates its reservation and header offset from separate reads before dropping the RCU read lock to allocate the skb. Add LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EX() for callers that already saved a header length. Read hard_header_len once in packet_snd() and use it for allocation and construction. In packet_sendmsg_spkt(), preserve the allocation-time value through the device lookup retry. The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and header_ops->create is not addressed here.

net: introduce mangleid_features

2026-04-11T12:24:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 31c5a71d982b57df75858974634c2f0a338f2fc6 ] Some/most devices implementing gso_partial need to disable the GSO partial features when the IP ID can't be mangled; to that extend each of them implements something alike the following[1]: if (skb->encapsulation && !(features & NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID)) features &= ~NETIF_F_TSO; in the ndo_features_check() op, which leads to a bit of duplicate code. Later patch in the series will implement GSO partial support for virtual devices, and the current status quo will require more duplicate code and a new indirect call in the TX path for them. Introduce the mangleid_features mask, allowing the core to disable NIC features based on/requiring MANGLEID, without any further intervention from the driver. The same functionality could be alternatively implemented adding a single boolean flag to the struct net_device, but would require an additional checks in ndo_features_check(). Also note that [1] is incorrect if the NIC additionally implements NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4, mangleid_features transparently handle even such a case.

net: add xmit recursion limit to tunnel xmit functions

2026-03-25T10:08:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6f1a9140ecda3baba3d945b9a6155af4268aafc4 ] Tunnel xmit functions (iptunnel_xmit, ip6tunnel_xmit) lack their own recursion limit. When a bond device in broadcast mode has GRE tap interfaces as slaves, and those GRE tunnels route back through the bond, multicast/broadcast traffic triggers infinite recursion between bond_xmit_broadcast() and ip_tunnel_xmit()/ip6_tnl_xmit(), causing kernel stack overflow. The existing XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT (8) in the no-qdisc path is not sufficient because tunnel recursion involves route lookups and full IP output, consuming much more stack per level. Use a lower limit of 4 (IP_TUNNEL_RECURSION_LIMIT) to prevent overflow. Add recursion detection using dev_xmit_recursion helpers directly in iptunnel_xmit() and ip6tunnel_xmit() to cover all IPv4/IPv6 tunnel paths including UDP encapsulated tunnels (VXLAN, Geneve, etc.). Move dev_xmit_recursion helpers from net/core/dev.h to public header include/linux/netdevice.h so they can be used by tunnel code.
