tcp: update window_clamp when SO_RCVBUF is set

2026-04-13T13:32:35+00:00

Commit under Fixes moved recomputing the window clamp to tcp_measure_rcv_mss() (when scaling_ratio changes). I suspect it missed the fact that we don't recompute the clamp when rcvbuf is set. Until scaling_ratio changes we are stuck with the old window clamp which may be based on the small initial buffer. scaling_ratio may never change. Inspired by Eric's recent commit d1361840f8c5 ("tcp: fix SO_RCVLOWAT and RCVBUF autotuning") plumb the user action thru to TCP and have it update the clamp. A smaller fix would be to just have tcp_rcvbuf_grow() adjust the clamp even if SOCK_RCVBUF_LOCK is set. But IIUC this is what we were trying to get away from in the first place.

udp: Remove UDP-Lite SNMP stats.

2026-03-14T01:57:44+00:00

Since UDP and UDP-Lite shared most of the code, we have had to check the protocol every time we increment SNMP stats. Now that the UDP-Lite paths are dead, let's remove UDP-Lite SNMP stats.

ipv4: Retire UDP-Lite.

2026-03-14T01:57:44+00:00

We have deprecated IPv6 UDP-Lite sockets. Let's drop support for IPv4 UDP-Lite sockets as well. Most of the changes are similar to the IPv6 patch: removing udplite.c and udp_impl.h, marking most functions in udp_impl.h as static, moving the prototype for udp_recvmsg() to udp.h, and adding INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE for it. In addition, the INET_DIAG support for UDP-Lite is dropped. We will remove the remaining dead code in the following patches.

ipv6: move the disable_ipv6_mod knob to core code

2026-03-12T00:53:37+00:00

From: Jakub Kicinski Make sure disable_ipv6_mod itself is not part of the IPv6 module, in case core code wants to refer to it. We will remove support for IPv6=m soon, this change helps make fixes we commit before that less messy.

net: annotate data races around sk->sk_prot

2026-03-07T00:55:36+00:00

inet_sendmsg() and inet_recvmsg() access sk->sk_prot without lock_sock() or any other synchronization. sock_replace_proto() (used by sockmap), TLS and MPTCP can change sk->sk_prot under us, so these functions need READ_ONCE() to avoid load tearing.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. 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
