net/sched: reject overly deep qdisc hierarchies

2026-08-27T12:28:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit dedd34b0f2310e28c5f6d4875cfbf4b7ed821c01 ] Deep qdisc hierarchies can lead to excessive recursion in qdisc tree walkers and exhaust the kernel stack. The existing loop check does not cover the create-and-graft path, so a hierarchy can still be extended by creating a new child qdisc below an already deep parent. Store the hierarchy depth in struct Qdisc and update it when qdiscs are grafted. Reject new child qdiscs once the parent is already at the maximum allowed depth.

net: add a couple of helpers for iph tot_len

2026-08-23T12:17:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 058a8f7f73aae1cc22b53fcefec031b9e391b54d ] This patch adds three APIs to replace the iph->tot_len setting and getting in all places where IPv4 BIG TCP packets may reach, they will be used in the following patches. Note that iph_totlen() will be used when iph is not in linear data of the skb.

netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst

2026-08-23T12:17:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit c9c9b37f8c5505224e8d206184df3bb668ee00cf ] The br_netfilter fake rtable is embedded in struct net_bridge and is attached to bridged packets with skb_dst_set_noref(). If such a packet is queued to NFQUEUE, __nf_queue() upgrades that fake dst with skb_dst_force(). At that point the queued skb can hold a real dst reference after bridge teardown has started. The problem is not that every bridged packet needs its own dst reference. The problem is that NFQUEUE can keep the bridge private fake dst alive after unregister begins. Fix this by keeping the bridge fake dst model unchanged and pinning the bridge master device only while the packet sits in NFQUEUE. Record the bridge device in nf_queue_entry when the queued skb carries a bridge fake dst, take a device reference for the queue lifetime, and drop it when the queue entry is freed. Also make sure queued entries are reaped when that bridge device goes down, and drop the redundant nf_bridge_info_exists() test from the fake dst detection. This keeps netdev_priv(br->dev) alive until verdict completion, so the embedded fake rtable and its metrics backing storage cannot be freed out from under dst_release(). It also avoids the constant refcount bump and avoids using ipv4-specific dst helpers for IPv6 bridge traffic.

net: dst: add four helpers to annotate data-races around dst->dev

2026-08-23T12:17:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 88fe14253e181878c2ddb51a298ae8c468a63010 ] dst->dev is read locklessly in many contexts, and written in dst_dev_put(). Fixing all the races is going to need many changes. We probably will have to add full RCU protection.

ipvs: separate destination availability state

2026-08-23T12:17:14+00:00

commit cdcc4e46180df8161f4d2f3c6fd6beaf6990133d upstream. IPVS configuration paths update destination availability while connection accounting updates destination overload state. The two independent states share dest->flags, so their read-modify-write updates can race and lose one another. Keep OVERLOAD in flags, where the preceding patch serializes its updates with dst_lock, and move AVAILABLE to cflags. This keeps configuration- controlled availability out of the scheduler hot cacheline until a scheduler needs to check it. It also prevents availability updates from clobbering overload state. The destination status bits are not exposed through the IPVS sockopt or netlink interfaces, so keep their definitions in the internal IPVS header. Readers can still observe stale destination state; this does not provide a cross-field snapshot.
