net: Convert proto callbacks from sockaddr to sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:33+00:00

Convert struct proto pre_connect(), connect(), bind(), and bind_add() callback function prototypes from struct sockaddr to struct sockaddr_unsized. This does not change per-implementation use of sockaddr for passing around an arbitrarily sized sockaddr struct. Those will be addressed in future patches. Additionally removes the no longer referenced struct sockaddr from include/net/inet_common.h. No binary changes expected.

inet: raw: add drop_counters to raw sockets

2025-08-28T11:14:50+00:00

When a packet flood hits one or more RAW sockets, many cpus have to update sk->sk_drops. This slows down other cpus, because currently sk_drops is in sock_write_rx group. Add a socket_drop_counters structure to raw sockets. Using dedicated cache lines to hold drop counters makes sure that consumers no longer suffer from false sharing if/when producers only change sk->sk_drops. This adds 128 bytes per RAW socket.

net: remove sock_i_uid()

2025-06-24T00:04:03+00:00

Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk->sk_uid value. None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this. Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined. Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and can not see the full benefit yet.

net: annotate races around sk->sk_uid

2025-06-24T00:04:03+00:00

sk->sk_uid can be read while another thread changes its value in sockfs_setattr(). Add sk_uid(const struct sock *sk) helper to factorize the needed READ_ONCE() annotations, and add corresponding WRITE_ONCE() where needed.

ipv4: remove get_rttos

2025-02-19T02:27:19+00:00

Initialize the ip cookie tos field when initializing the cookie, in ipcm_init_sk. The existing code inverts the standard pattern for initializing cookie fields. Default is to initialize the field from the sk, then possibly overwrite that when parsing cmsgs (the unlikely case). This field inverts that, setting the field to an illegal value and after cmsg parsing checking whether the value is still illegal and thus should be overridden. Be careful to always apply mask INET_DSCP_MASK, as before.

sock: support SO_PRIORITY cmsg

2024-12-17T02:13:44+00:00

The Linux socket API currently allows setting SO_PRIORITY at the socket level, applying a uniform priority to all packets sent through that socket. The exception to this is IP_TOS, when the priority value is calculated during the handling of ancillary data, as implemented in commit f02db315b8d8 ("ipv4: IP_TOS and IP_TTL can be specified as ancillary data"). However, this is a computed value, and there is currently no mechanism to set a custom priority via control messages prior to this patch. According to this patch, if SO_PRIORITY is specified as ancillary data, the packet is sent with the priority value set through sockc->priority, overriding the socket-level values set via the traditional setsockopt() method. This is analogous to the existing support for SO_MARK, as implemented in commit c6af0c227a22 ("ip: support SO_MARK cmsg"). If both cmsg SO_PRIORITY and IP_TOS are passed, then the one that takes precedence is the last one in the cmsg list. This patch has the side effect that raw_send_hdrinc now interprets cmsg IP_TOS.

net_tstamp: add SCM_TS_OPT_ID for RAW sockets

2024-10-04T18:52:19+00:00

The last type of sockets which supports SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is RAW sockets. To add new option this patch converts all callers (direct and indirect) of _sock_tx_timestamp to provide sockcm_cookie instead of tsflags. And while here fix __sock_tx_timestamp to receive tsflags as __u32 instead of __u16.

net: Add additional bit to support clockid_t timestamp type

2024-05-23T21:14:36+00:00

tstamp_type is now set based on actual clockid_t compressed into 2 bits. To make the design scalable for future needs this commit bring in the change to extend the tstamp_type:1 to tstamp_type:2 to support other clockid_t timestamp. We now support CLOCK_TAI as part of tstamp_type as part of this commit with existing support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME.
