udp: Fix wildcard bind conflict check when using hash2

2026-04-02T11:25:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit e537dd15d0d4ad989d56a1021290f0c674dd8b28 ] When binding a udp_sock to a local address and port, UDP uses two hashes (udptable->hash and udptable->hash2) for collision detection. The current code switches to "hash2" when hslot->count > 10. "hash2" is keyed by local address and local port. "hash" is keyed by local port only. The issue can be shown in the following bind sequence (pseudo code): bind(fd1, "[fd00::1]:8888") bind(fd2, "[fd00::2]:8888") bind(fd3, "[fd00::3]:8888") bind(fd4, "[fd00::4]:8888") bind(fd5, "[fd00::5]:8888") bind(fd6, "[fd00::6]:8888") bind(fd7, "[fd00::7]:8888") bind(fd8, "[fd00::8]:8888") bind(fd9, "[fd00::9]:8888") bind(fd10, "[fd00::10]:8888") /* Correctly return -EADDRINUSE because "hash" is used * instead of "hash2". udp_lib_lport_inuse() detects the * conflict. */ bind(fail_fd, "[::]:8888") /* After one more socket is bound to "[fd00::11]:8888", * hslot->count exceeds 10 and "hash2" is used instead. */ bind(fd11, "[fd00::11]:8888") bind(fail_fd, "[::]:8888") /* succeeds unexpectedly */ The same issue applies to the IPv4 wildcard address "0.0.0.0" and the IPv4-mapped wildcard address "::ffff:0.0.0.0". For example, if there are existing sockets bound to "192.168.1.[1-11]:8888", then binding "0.0.0.0:8888" or "[::ffff:0.0.0.0]:8888" can also miss the conflict when hslot->count > 10. TCP inet_csk_get_port() already has the correct check in inet_use_bhash2_on_bind(). Rename it to inet_use_hash2_on_bind() and move it to inet_hashtables.h so udp.c can reuse it in this fix.

inet: annotate data-races around isk->inet_num

[ Upstream commit 29252397bcc1e0a1f85e5c3bee59c325f5c26341 ] UDP/TCP lookups are using RCU, thus isk->inet_num accesses should use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() where needed.

tcp: Update bind bucket state on port release

2025-09-23T08:12:15+00:00

Today, once an inet_bind_bucket enters a state where fastreuse >= 0 or fastreuseport >= 0 after a socket is explicitly bound to a port, it remains in that state until all sockets are removed and the bucket is destroyed. In this state, the bucket is skipped during ephemeral port selection in connect(). For applications using a reduced ephemeral port range (IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option), this can cause faster port exhaustion since blocked buckets are excluded from reuse. The reason the bucket state isn't updated on port release is unclear. Possibly a performance trade-off to avoid scanning bucket owners, or just an oversight. Fix it by recalculating the bucket state when a socket releases a port. To limit overhead, each inet_bind2_bucket stores its own (fastreuse, fastreuseport) state. On port release, only the relevant port-addr bucket is scanned, and the overall state is derived from these.

tcp: Don't pass hashinfo to socket lookup helpers.

2025-08-26T00:53:35+00:00

These socket lookup functions required struct inet_hashinfo because they are shared by TCP and DCCP. * __inet_lookup_established() * __inet_lookup_listener() * __inet6_lookup_established() * inet6_lookup_listener() DCCP has gone, and we don't need to pass hashinfo down to them. Let's fetch net->ipv4.tcp_death_row.hashinfo directly in the above 4 functions.

net: Retire DCCP socket.

2025-04-12T01:58:10+00:00

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp: move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer had been inactive for five years. In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that, the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates or adjustments related to TCP. Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice."). Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0] There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license, the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating: "This is not Open Source software." The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further communication since then. Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden. Therefore, it's time to remove it. Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path. Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested.
