rxrpc: Fix DATA decrypt vs splice() by copying data to buffer in recvmsg

2026-06-09T10:26:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit d2bc90cf6c75cb96d2ce549be6c35efa3099d25b ] This improves the fix for CVE-2026-43500. Fix the pagecache corruption from in-place decryption of a DATA packet transmitted locally by splice() by getting rid of the packet sharing in the I/O thread and unconditionally extracting the packet content into a bounce buffer in which the buffer is decrypted. recvmsg() (or the kernel equivalent) then copies the data from the bounce buffer to the destination buffer. The sk_buff then remains unmodified. This has an additional advantage in that the packet is then arranged in the buffer with the correct alignment required for the crypto algorithms to process directly. The performance of the crypto does seem to be a little faster and, surprisingly, the unencrypted performance doesn't seem to change much - possibly due to removing complexity from the I/O thread. Yet another advantage is that the I/O thread doesn't have to copy packets which would slow down packet distribution, ACK generation, etc.. The buffer belongs to the call and is allocated initially at 2K, sufficiently large to hold a whole jumbo subpacket, but the buffer will be increased in size if needed. However, to take this work, MSG_PEEK may cause a later packet to be decrypted into the buffer, in which case the earlier one will need re-decrypting for a subsequent recvmsg(). Note that rx_pkt_offset may legitimately see 0 as a valid offset now, so switch to using USHRT_MAX to indicate an invalid offset. Note also that I would generally prefer to replace the buffers of the current sk_buff with a new kmalloc'd buffer of the right size, ditching the old data and frags as this makes the handling of MSG_PEEK easier and removes the re-decryption issue, but this looks like quite a complicated thing to achieve. skb_morph() looks half way to what I want, but I don't want to have to allocate a new sk_buff.

rxrpc: Fix key reference count leak from call->key

2026-04-18T08:41:58+00:00

commit d666540d217e8d420544ebdfbadeedd623562733 upstream. When creating a client call in rxrpc_alloc_client_call(), the code obtains a reference to the key. This is never cleaned up and gets leaked when the call is destroyed. Fix this by freeing call->key in rxrpc_destroy_call(). Before the patch, it shows the key reference counter elevated: $ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321 1bffe9cd I--Q--i 8053480 4169w 3b010000 1000 1000 rxrpc afs@54321: ka $ After the patch, the invalidated key is removed when the code exits: $ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321 $ Fixes: f3441d4125fc ("rxrpc: Copy client call parameters into rxrpc_call earlier") Signed-off-by: Anderson Nascimento Co-developed-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: David Howells Reviewed-by: Jeffrey Altman cc: Marc Dionne cc: Simon Horman cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org cc: stable@kernel.org Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260408121252.2249051-9-dhowells@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

rxrpc: Fix call removal to use RCU safe deletion

2026-04-18T08:41:58+00:00

commit 146d4ab94cf129ee06cd467cb5c71368a6b5bad6 upstream. Fix rxrpc call removal from the rxnet->calls list to use list_del_rcu() rather than list_del_init() to prevent stuffing up reading /proc/net/rxrpc/calls from potentially getting into an infinite loop. This, however, means that list_empty() no longer works on an entry that's been deleted from the list, making it harder to detect prior deletion. Fix this by: Firstly, make rxrpc_destroy_all_calls() only dump the first ten calls that are unexpectedly still on the list. Limiting the number of steps means there's no need to call cond_resched() or to remove calls from the list here, thereby eliminating the need for rxrpc_put_call() to check for that. rxrpc_put_call() can then be fixed to unconditionally delete the call from the list as it is the only place that the deletion occurs.

rxrpc: Fix call state set to not include the SERVER_SECURING state

2025-02-17T09:05:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 41b996ce83bf944de5569d6263c8dbd5513e7ed0 ] The RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state doesn't really belong with the other states in the call's state set as the other states govern the call's Rx/Tx phase transition and govern when packets can and can't be received or transmitted. The "Securing" state doesn't actually govern the reception of packets and would need to be split depending on whether or not we've received the last packet yet (to mirror RECV_REQUEST/ACK_REQUEST). The "Securing" state is more about whether or not we can start forwarding packets to the application as recvmsg will need to decode them and the decoding can't take place until the challenge/response exchange has completed. Fix this by removing the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state from the state set and, instead, using a flag, RXRPC_CALL_CONN_CHALLENGING, to track whether or not we can queue the call for reception by recvmsg() or notify the kernel app that data is ready. In the event that we've already received all the packets, the connection event handler will poke the app layer in the appropriate manner. Also there's a race whereby the app layer sees the last packet before rxrpc has managed to end the rx phase and change the state to one amenable to allowing a reply. Fix this by queuing the packet after calling rxrpc_end_rx_phase().

rxrpc: Fix congestion control algorithm

2024-05-08T15:05:03+00:00

Make the following fixes to the congestion control algorithm: (1) Don't vary the cwnd starting value by the size of RXRPC_TX_SMSS since that's currently held constant - set to the size of a jumbo subpacket payload so that we can create jumbo packets on the fly. The current code invariably picks 3 as the starting value. Further, the starting cwnd needs to be an even number because we ack every other packet, so set it to 4. (2) Don't cut ssthresh when we see an ACK come from the peer with a receive window (rwind) less than ssthresh. ssthresh keeps track of characteristics of the connection whereas rwind may be reduced by the peer for any reason - and may be reduced to 0.

rxrpc: Fix counting of new acks and nacks

2024-02-05T12:34:07+00:00

Fix the counting of new acks and nacks when parsing a packet - something that is used in congestion control. As the code stands, it merely notes if there are any nacks whereas what we really should do is compare the previous SACK table to the new one, assuming we get two successive ACK packets with nacks in them. However, we really don't want to do that if we can avoid it as the tables might not correspond directly as one may be shifted from the other - something that will only get harder to deal with once extended ACK tables come into full use (with a capacity of up to 8192). Instead, count the number of nacks shifted out of the old SACK, the number of nacks retained in the portion still active and the number of new acks and nacks in the new table then calculate what we need. Note this ends up a bit of an estimate as the Rx protocol allows acks to be withdrawn by the receiver and packets requested to be retransmitted.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around self-tests. Core & protocols: - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev, netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up to 40% - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and possible leaks - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active connections to the same destination - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket structs - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to 128KB and namespecifying it - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving RX performances with some common configurations - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to request the deletion of matching entries - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the datapath first - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use.

Two types of offloads are supported right now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified by its id - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool integration for the latter - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter) Misc: - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far undocumented features - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs - Add TCP-AO self-tests - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211 - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for which we have specs - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool Driver API: - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers in rust - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface, allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues relationship - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control application scale to thousands of instances - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD platform - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic netlink attribute - Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void - Add support for PHY package MMD read/write New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - Octeon CN10K devices - Broadcom 5760X P7 - Qualcomm SM8550 SoC - Texas Instrument DP83TG720S PHY - Bluetooth: - IMC Networks Bluetooth radio Removed: - WiFi: - libertas 16-bit PCMCIA support - Atmel at76c50x drivers - HostAP ISA/PCMCIA style 802.11b driver - zd1201 802.11b USB dongles - Orinoco ISA/PCMCIA 802.11b driver - Aviator/Raytheon driver - Planet WL3501 driver - RNDIS USB 802.11b driver Driver updates: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - allow one by one port representors creation and removal - add temperature and clock information reporting - add get/set for ethtool's header split ringparam - add again FW logging - adds support switchdev hardware packet mirroring - iavf: implement symmetric-xor RSS hash - igc: add support for concurrent physical and free-running timers - i40e: increase the allowable descriptors - nVidia/Mellanox: - Preparation for Socket-Direct multi-dev netdev.

rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objects

2023-12-24T15:22:50+00:00

Change rxrpc's API such that: (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function, rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again. (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call(). For afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a separate parameter). (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full rxrpc address. (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(), is then altered to take a peer. This now returns the RTT or -1 if there are insufficient samples. (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer(). (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a peer the caller already has. This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents. It also makes it easier to get hold of the RTT. The following changes are made to afs: (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc. (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is used. (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always overridden. (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may now return an error that must be handled. (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address. (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{} now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.
