bonding: print churn state via netlink

2026-06-01T15:39:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4916f2e2f3fc9aef289fcd07949301e5c29094c2 ] Currently, the churn state is printed only in sysfs. Add netlink support so users could get the state via netlink.

bonding: add support for per-port LACP actor priority

2026-06-01T15:39:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6b6dc81ee7e8ca87c71a533e1d69cf96a4f1e986 ] Introduce a new netlink attribute 'actor_port_prio' to allow setting the LACP actor port priority on a per-slave basis. This extends the existing bonding infrastructure to support more granular control over LACP negotiations. The priority value is embedded in LACPDU packets and will be used by subsequent patches to influence aggregator selection policies.

KVM: x86: Use __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for UAPI structures with VLAs

2026-06-01T15:38:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2619da73bb2f10d88f7e1087125c40144fdf0987 ] Commit 94dfc73e7cf4 ("treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members") broke the userspace API for C++. These structures ending in VLAs are typically a *header*, which can be followed by an arbitrary number of entries. Userspace typically creates a larger structure with some non-zero number of entries, for example in QEMU's kvm_arch_get_supported_msr_feature(): struct { struct kvm_msrs info; struct kvm_msr_entry entries[1]; } msr_data = {}; While that works in C, it fails in C++ with an error like: flexible array member 'kvm_msrs::entries' not at end of 'struct msr_data' Fix this by using __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for the VLA, which uses [0] for C++ compilation.

netfilter: ctnetlink: use netlink policy range checks

2026-04-11T12:16:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8f15b5071b4548b0aafc03b366eb45c9c6566704 ] Replace manual range and mask validations with netlink policy annotations in ctnetlink code paths, so that the netlink core rejects invalid values early and can generate extack errors. - CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE: reject values > TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_SENT2 at policy level, removing the manual >= TCP_CONNTRACK_MAX check. - CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_WSCALE_ORIGINAL/REPLY: reject values > TCP_MAX_WSCALE (14). The normal TCP option parsing path already clamps to this value, but the ctnetlink path accepted 0-255, causing undefined behavior when used as a u32 shift count. - CTA_FILTER_ORIG_FLAGS/REPLY_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with CTA_FILTER_F_ALL, removing the manual mask checks. - CTA_EXPECT_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with NF_CT_EXPECT_MASK, adding a new mask define grouping all valid expect flags. Extracted from a broader nf-next patch by Florian Westphal, scoped to ctnetlink for the fixes tree.

dma-buf: Include ioctl.h in UAPI header

2026-04-11T12:16:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit a116bac87118903925108e57781bbfc7a7eea27b ] include/uapi/linux/dma-buf.h uses several macros from ioctl.h to define its ioctl commands. However, it does not include ioctl.h itself. So, if userspace source code tries to include the dma-buf.h file without including ioctl.h, it can result in build failures. Therefore, include ioctl.h in the dma-buf UAPI header.

include: uapi: netfilter_bridge.h: Cover for musl libc

2026-03-04T12:20:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4edd4ba71ce0df015303dba75ea9d20d1a217546 ] Musl defines its own struct ethhdr and thus defines __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR to zero. To avoid struct redefinition errors, user space is therefore supposed to include netinet/if_ether.h before (or instead of) linux/if_ether.h. To relieve them from this burden, include the libc header here if not building for kernel space.
