ipv6: annotate data-races in ip6_multipath_hash_{policy,fields}()

[ Upstream commit 03e9d91dd64e2f5ea632df5d59568d91757efc4d ] Add missing READ_ONCE() when reading sysctl values.

ipv6: fix a race in ip6_sock_set_v6only()

2026-02-26T23:01:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 452a3eee22c57a5786ae6db5c97f3b0ec13bb3b7 ] It is unlikely that this function will be ever called with isk->inet_num being not zero. Perform the check on isk->inet_num inside the locked section for complete safety.

net: Convert proto callbacks from sockaddr to sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:33+00:00

Convert struct proto pre_connect(), connect(), bind(), and bind_add() callback function prototypes from struct sockaddr to struct sockaddr_unsized. This does not change per-implementation use of sockaddr for passing around an arbitrarily sized sockaddr struct. Those will be addressed in future patches. Additionally removes the no longer referenced struct sockaddr from include/net/inet_common.h. No binary changes expected.

net: Convert proto_ops bind() callbacks to use sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:32+00:00

Update all struct proto_ops bind() callback function prototypes from "struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch. No binary changes expected.

ipv6: fix _DEVADD() and _DEVUPD() macros

2025-03-25T14:31:24+00:00

ip6_rcv_core() is using: __IP6_ADD_STATS(net, idev, IPSTATS_MIB_NOECTPKTS + (ipv6_get_dsfield(hdr) & INET_ECN_MASK), max_t(unsigned short, 1, skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs)); This is currently evaluating both expressions twice. Fix _DEVADD() and _DEVUPD() macros to evaluate their arguments once.

ipv6: replace ipcm6_init calls with ipcm6_init_sk

2025-02-19T02:27:20+00:00

This initializes tclass and dontfrag before cmsg parsing, removing the need for explicit checks against -1 in each caller. Leave hlimit set to -1, because its full initialization (in ip6_sk_dst_hoplimit) requires more state (dst, flowi6, ..). This also prepares for calling sockcm_init in a follow-on patch.

net: reformat kdoc return statements

2024-12-09T22:44:59+00:00

kernel-doc -Wall warns about missing Return: statement for non-void functions. We have a number of kdocs in our headers which are missing the colon, IOW they use * Return some value or * Returns some value Having the colon makes some sense, it should help kdoc parser avoid false positives. So add them. This is mostly done with a sed script, and removing the unnecessary cases (mostly the comments which aren't kdoc).

ipv6: Add ipv6_addr_{cpu_to_be32,be32_to_cpu} helpers

2024-08-16T17:27:48+00:00

Add helpers to convert an ipv6 addr, expressed as an array of words, from CPU to big-endian byte order, and vice versa. No functional change intended. Compile tested only.
