ipv4: ip_tunnel: spread netdev_lockdep_set_classes()

2026-01-09T02:02:35+00:00

Inspired by yet another syzbot report. IPv6 tunnels call netdev_lockdep_set_classes() for each tunnel type, while IPv4 currently centralizes netdev_lockdep_set_classes() call from ip_tunnel_init(). Make ip_tunnel_init() a macro, so that we have different lockdep classes per tunnel type.

net/ip6_tunnel: Prevent perpetual tunnel growth

2025-10-14T00:43:46+00:00

Similarly to ipv4 tunnel, ipv6 version updates dev->needed_headroom, too. While ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment growth was limited in commit 5ae1e9922bbd ("net: ip_tunnel: prevent perpetual headroom growth"), ipv6 tunnel yet increases the headroom without any ceiling. Reflect ipv4 tunnel headroom adjustment limit on ipv6 version. Credits to Francesco Ruggeri, who was originally debugging this issue and wrote local Arista-specific patch and a reproducer.

net: ipv4: Add a flags argument to iptunnel_xmit(), udp_tunnel_xmit_skb()

2025-06-18T01:18:44+00:00

iptunnel_xmit() erases the contents of the SKB control block. In order to be able to set particular IPCB flags on the SKB, add a corresponding parameter, and propagate it to udp_tunnel_xmit_skb() as well. In one of the following patches, VXLAN driver will use this facility to mark packets as subject to IP multicast routing.

ipv4: ip_tunnel: Replace strcpy use with strscpy

2025-05-06T01:16:11+00:00

Use of strcpy is decpreated, replaces the use of strcpy with strscpy as recommended. strscpy was chosen as it requires a NUL terminated non-padded string, which is the case here. I am aware there is an explicit bounds check above the second instance, however using strscpy protects against buffer overflows in any future code, and there is no good reason I can see to not use it. I have also replaced the scrscpy above that had 3 params with the version using 2 params. These are functionally equivalent, but it is cleaner to have both using 2 params.

ipv4: ip_tunnel: Convert ip_tunnel_delete_nets() callers to ->exit_rtnl().

ip_tunnel_delete_nets() iterates the dying netns list and performs the same operations for each. Let's export ip_tunnel_destroy() as ip_tunnel_delete_net() and call it from ->exit_rtnl().

net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header

2025-03-08T17:06:50+00:00

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching the header with the helpers). The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

2025-02-21T23:28:02+00:00

When link_net is set, use it as link netns instead of dev_net(). This prepares for rtnetlink core to create device in target netns directly, in which case the two namespaces may be different. Convert common ip_tunnel_newlink() to accept an extra link netns argument.
