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.

ipv6: np->rxpmtu race annotation

2025-09-18T08:17:09+00:00

Add READ_ONCE() annotations because np->rxpmtu can be changed while udpv6_recvmsg() and rawv6_recvmsg() read it. Since this is a very rarely used feature, and that udpv6_recvmsg() and rawv6_recvmsg() read np->rxopt anyway, change the test order so that np->rxpmtu does not need to be in a hot cache line.

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: 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.

ipv6: replace ipcm6_init calls with ipcm6_init_sk

2025-02-19T02:27:20+00:00

This initializes tclass and dontfrag before cmsg parsing, removing the need for explicit checks against -1 in each caller. Leave hlimit set to -1, because its full initialization (in ip6_sk_dst_hoplimit) requires more state (dst, flowi6, ..). This also prepares for calling sockcm_init in a follow-on patch.

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.
