tls: remove tls_toe and the related driver

2026-06-12T23:43:10+00:00

The tls_toe feature and its single user (chelsio chtls) have been unmaintained for multiple years. It also hooks into the core of the TCP implementation, and bypasses most of the networking stack.

net: ethtool: add KSZ87xx low-loss cable PHY tunables

2026-06-11T22:47:56+00:00

Introduce vendor-specific PHY tunable identifiers to control the KSZ87xx low-loss cable erratum handling through the ethtool PHY tunable interface. The following tunables are added: - a boolean "short-cable" tunable, applying a documented and conservative preset intended for short or low-loss Ethernet cables; - an integer LPF bandwidth tunable, allowing advanced adjustment of the receiver low-pass filter bandwidth; - an integer DSP EQ initial value tunable, allowing advanced tuning of the PHY equalizer initialization. The actual behavior is implemented by the corresponding PHY and switch drivers.

ethtool: Add RSS indirection table resize helpers

2026-03-24T00:59:54+00:00

The core locks ctx->indir_size when an RSS context is created. Some NICs (e.g. bnxt) change their indirection table size based on the channel count, because the hardware table is a shared resource. This forces drivers to reject channel changes when RSS contexts exist. Add driver helpers to resize indirection tables: ethtool_rxfh_indir_can_resize() checks whether the default context indirection table can be resized. ethtool_rxfh_indir_resize() resizes the default context table in place. Folding (shrink) requires the table to be periodic at the new size; non-periodic tables are rejected. Unfolding (grow) replicates the existing pattern. Sizes must be multiples of each other. ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_can_resize() validates all non-default RSS contexts can be resized. ethtool_rxfh_ctxs_resize() applies the resize.

ethtool: Track user-provided RSS indirection table size

2026-03-24T00:59:53+00:00

Track the number of indirection table entries the user originally provided (context 0/default as well!). Replace IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED with rss_indir_user_size: the flag is redundant now that user_size captures the same information. Add ethtool_rxfh_indir_lost() for drivers that must reset the indirection table. Convert bnxt and mlx5 to use it.

net: ethtool: re-order local includes

2026-03-21T02:10:18+00:00

Most local #include in the ethtool command handling is out of order, with either : #include "netlink.h" #include "common.h" or even : #include "netlink.h" #include "common.h" #include "bitset.h" One of the reasons is because bitset.h s lacking definitions for nlattr, netlink_ext_ack, ETH_GSTRING_LEN, and types such as u32, bool, etc. Make bitset.h standalone by including for ETH_GSTRING_LEN, and for nlattr, netlink_ext_ack and the rest. While at it, take a pass on ethnl sources to re-order the local includes : - put them after the global includes - add a newline between global and local includes - alpha-sort the local includes One notable exception is the cmis.h include, that needs definitions from module_fw.h. Keep them in this order for now. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260319180555.1531386-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

net: rss: fix reporting RXH_XFRM_NO_CHANGE as input_xfrm for contexts

2026-02-03T01:09:48+00:00

Initializing input_xfrm to RXH_XFRM_NO_CHANGE in RSS contexts is problematic. I think I did this to make it clear that the context does not have its own settings applied. But unlike ETH_RSS_HASH_NO_CHANGE which is zero, RXH_XFRM_NO_CHANGE is 0xff. We need to be careful when reading the value back, and remember to treat 0xff as 0. Remove the initialization and switch to storing 0. This lets us also remove the workaround in ethnl_rss_set(). Get side does not need any adjustments and context get no longer reports: RSS input transformation: symmetric-xor: on symmetric-or-xor: on Unknown bits in RSS input transformation: 0xfc for NICs which don't support input_xfrm. Remove the init of hfunc to ETH_RSS_HASH_NO_CHANGE while at it. As already mentioned this is a noop since ETH_RSS_HASH_NO_CHANGE is 0 and struct is zalloc'd. But as this fix exemplifies storing NO_CHANGE as state is fragile. This issue is implicitly caught by running our selftests because YNL in selftests errors out on unknown bits.

ethtool: remove ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS fallback through get_rxnfc

2026-01-28T01:32:56+00:00

All drivers that need to report the RX ring count now implement the get_rx_ring_count callback directly. Remove the legacy fallback path that obtained this information by calling get_rxnfc with ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS. This simplifies the code and makes get_rx_ring_count the only way to retrieve the RX ring count. Note: ethtool_get_rx_ring_count() returns int to allow returning -EOPNOTSUPP, while the callback returns u32. The implicit conversion is safe since RX ring counts will not exceed INT_MAX while we are still alive.
