net: vlan: sync VLAN features with lower device

2025-11-13T20:34:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit c211f5d7cbd5cb34489d526648bb9c8ecc907dee ] After registering a VLAN device and setting its feature flags, we need to synchronize the VLAN features with the lower device. For example, the VLAN device does not have the NETIF_F_LRO flag, it should be synchronized with the lower device based on the NETIF_F_UPPER_DISABLES definition. As the dev->vlan_features has changed, we need to call netdev_update_features(). The caller must run after netdev_upper_dev_link() links the lower devices, so this patch adds the netdev_update_features() call in register_vlan_dev().

net: vlan: fix VLAN 0 refcount imbalance of toggling filtering during runtime

2025-07-24T06:56:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 579d4f9ca9a9a605184a9b162355f6ba131f678d ] Assuming the "rx-vlan-filter" feature is enabled on a net device, the 8021q module will automatically add or remove VLAN 0 when the net device is put administratively up or down, respectively. There are a couple of problems with the above scheme. The first problem is a memory leak that can happen if the "rx-vlan-filter" feature is disabled while the device is running: # ip link add bond1 up type bond mode 0 # ethtool -K bond1 rx-vlan-filter off # ip link del dev bond1 When the device is put administratively down the "rx-vlan-filter" feature is disabled, so the 8021q module will not remove VLAN 0 and the memory will be leaked [1]. Another problem that can happen is that the kernel can automatically delete VLAN 0 when the device is put administratively down despite not adding it when the device was put administratively up since during that time the "rx-vlan-filter" feature was disabled. null-ptr-unref or bug_on[2] will be triggered by unregister_vlan_dev() for refcount imbalance if toggling filtering during runtime: $ ip link add bond0 type bond mode 0 $ ip link add link bond0 name vlan0 type vlan id 0 protocol 802.1q $ ethtool -K bond0 rx-vlan-filter off $ ifconfig bond0 up $ ethtool -K bond0 rx-vlan-filter on $ ifconfig bond0 down $ ip link del vlan0 Root cause is as below: step1: add vlan0 for real_dev, such as bond, team. register_vlan_dev vlan_vid_add(real_dev,htons(ETH_P_8021Q),0) //refcnt=1 step2: disable vlan filter feature and enable real_dev step3: change filter from 0 to 1 vlan_device_event vlan_filter_push_vids ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid //No refcnt added to real_dev vlan0 step4: real_dev down vlan_device_event vlan_vid_del(dev, htons(ETH_P_8021Q), 0); //refcnt=0 vlan_info_rcu_free //free vlan0 step5: delete vlan0 unregister_vlan_dev BUG_ON(!vlan_info); //vlan_info is null Fix both problems by noting in the VLAN info whether VLAN 0 was automatically added upon NETDEV_UP and based on that decide whether it should be deleted upon NETDEV_DOWN, regardless of the state of the "rx-vlan-filter" feature.

vlan: enforce underlying device type

2025-03-13T12:02:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit b33a534610067ade2bdaf2052900aaad99701353 ] Currently, VLAN devices can be created on top of non-ethernet devices. Besides the fact that it doesn't make much sense, this also causes a bug which leaks the address of a kernel function to usermode. When creating a VLAN device, we initialize GARP (garp_init_applicant) and MRP (mrp_init_applicant) for the underlying device. As part of the initialization process, we add the multicast address of each applicant to the underlying device, by calling dev_mc_add. __dev_mc_add uses dev->addr_len to determine the length of the new multicast address. This causes an out-of-bounds read if dev->addr_len is greater than 6, since the multicast addresses provided by GARP and MRP are only 6 bytes long. This behaviour can be reproduced using the following commands: ip tunnel add gretest mode ip6gre local ::1 remote ::2 dev lo ip l set up dev gretest ip link add link gretest name vlantest type vlan id 100 Then, the following command will display the address of garp_pdu_rcv: ip maddr show | grep 01:80:c2:00:00:21 Fix the bug by enforcing the type of the underlying device during VLAN device initialization.

netdevice: convert private flags > BIT(31) to bitfields

2024-09-03T09:36:43+00:00

Make dev->priv_flags `u32` back and define bits higher than 31 as bitfield booleans as per Jakub's suggestion. This simplifies code which accesses these bits with no optimization loss (testb both before/after), allows to not extend &netdev_priv_flags each time, but also scales better as bits > 63 in the future would only add a new u64 to the structure with no complications, comparing to that extending ::priv_flags would require converting it to a bitmap. Note that I picked `unsigned long :1` to not lose any potential optimizations comparing to `bool :1` etc. Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

net: Add struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info

2024-07-15T15:02:26+00:00

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct hwtstamp_config. Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h. The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.
