net/sched: act_mirred: Fix blockcast recursion bypass leading to stack overflow

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

commit a005fa5d7502eefec7ee6e1c01adadc06de2f9ad upstream. tcf_mirred_act() checks sched_mirred_nest against MIRRED_NEST_LIMIT (4) to prevent deep recursion. However, when the action uses blockcast (tcfm_blockid != 0), the function returns at the tcf_blockcast() call BEFORE reaching the counter increment. As a result, the recursion counter never advances and the limit check is entirely bypassed. When two devices share a TC egress block with a mirred blockcast rule, a packet egressing on device A is mirrored to device B via blockcast; device B's egress TC re-enters tcf_mirred_act() via blockcast and mirrors back to A, creating an unbounded recursion loop: tcf_mirred_act -> tcf_blockcast -> tcf_mirred_to_dev -> dev_queue_xmit -> sch_handle_egress -> tcf_classify -> tcf_mirred_act -> (repeat) This recursion continues until the kernel stack overflows. The bug is reachable from an unprivileged user via unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNET): user namespaces grant CAP_NET_ADMIN in the new network namespace, which is sufficient to create dummy devices, attach clsact qdiscs with shared blocks, and install mirred blockcast filters.

ethtool: cmis_cdb: Fix incorrect read / write length extension

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

commit eaa517b77e63442260640d875f824d1111ca6569 upstream. The 'read_write_len_ext' field in 'struct ethtool_cmis_cdb_cmd_args' stores the maximum number of bytes that can be read from or written to the Local Payload (LPL) page in a single multi-byte access. Cited commit started overwriting this field with the maximum number of bytes that can be read from or written to the Extended Payload (LPL) pages in a single multi-byte access. Transceiver modules that support auto paging can advertise a number larger than 255 which is problematic as 'read_write_len_ext' is a 'u8', resulting in the number getting truncated and firmware flashing failing [1]. Fix by ignoring the maximum EPL access size as the kernel does not currently support auto paging (even if the transceiver module does) and will not try to read / write more than 128 bytes at once. [1] Transceiver module firmware flashing started for device enp177s0np0 Transceiver module firmware flashing in progress for device enp177s0np0 Progress: 0% Transceiver module firmware flashing encountered an error for device enp177s0np0 Status message: Write FW block EPL command failed, LPL length is longer than CDB read write length extension allows.

mptcp: do not drop partial packets

2026-06-09T10:26:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 50c2d91c5dfa0e465826ec1f8dbad9cdc254bd85 ] When a packet arrives with map_seq < ack_seq < end_seq, the beginning of the packet has already been acknowledged but the end contains new data. Currently the entire packet is dropped as "old data," forcing the sender to retransmit. Instead, skip the already-acked bytes by adjusting the skb offset and enqueue only the new portion. Update bytes_received and ack_seq to reflect the new data consumed. A previous attempt at this fix has been sent by Paolo Abeni [1], but had issues [2]: it also added a zero-window check and changed rcv_wnd_sent initialization, which caused test regressions. This version addresses only the partial packet handling without modifying receive window accounting. Fixes: ab174ad8ef76 ("mptcp: move ooo skbs into msk out of order queue.")

mptcp: handle first subflow closing consistently

2026-06-09T10:26:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0eeb372deebce6c25b9afc09e35d6c75a744299a ] Currently, as soon as the PM closes a subflow, the msk stops accepting data from it, even if the TCP socket could be still formally open in the incoming direction, with the notable exception of the first subflow. The root cause of such behavior is that code currently piggy back two separate semantic on the subflow->disposable bit: the subflow context must be released and that the subflow must stop accepting incoming data. The first subflow is never disposed, so it also never stop accepting incoming data. Use a separate bit to mark the latter status and set such bit in __mptcp_close_ssk() for all subflows. Beyond making per subflow behaviour more consistent this will also simplify the next patch.

mptcp: reset rcv wnd on disconnect

[ Upstream commit 0981f90e1a05773a4c29c6e720f5ea1e3c8f1876 ] If the MPTCP socket fallback to TCP before the MP handshake completion, the IASN remain 0, and the rcv_wnd_sent field is not explicitly initialized, just incremented over time with the data transfer. At disconnect time such value is not cleared. If the next connection falls back to TCP before the MP handshake completion, the data transfer will keep incrementing the receive window end sequence starting from the last value used in the previous connection: the announced window will be unrelated from the actual receiver buffer size and likely too big. Address the issue zeroing the field at disconnect time.

mptcp: pm: fix ADD_ADDR timer infinite retry on option space insufficient

2026-06-09T10:26:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 51e398a3b8961b26a8c0a4ba9a777c5339791707 ] When TCP option space is insufficient (e.g., when sending ADD_ADDR with an IPv6 address and port while tcp_timestamps is enabled), the original code jumped to out_unlock without clearing the addr_signal flag. This caused mptcp_pm_add_timer to keep rescheduling indefinitely, not sending ADD_ADDR, preventing subsequent addresses in the endpoint list from being announced. Handle this case by clearing the ADD_ADDR signal and skipping the matching ADD_ADDR retransmission entry. The skip path cancels the matching timer (with id check) and advances PM state progression, preserving forward progress to subsequent PM work. This cancellation is inherently best-effort. A concurrent add_timer callback may already be running and may acquire pm.lock before the cancel path updates entry state. In that case, one final ADD_ADDR transmit attempt can still be executed. Once the cancel path sets entry->retrans_times to ADD_ADDR_RETRANS_MAX, the callback-side retrans_times check suppresses further ADD_ADDR retransmissions. Note that when an ADD_ADDR is being prepared, a pure-ACK is queued. On the output side, it means that it is fine to skip non-pure-ACK packets, when drop_other_suboptions is set: a pure-ACK will be processed soon after.

net: hsr: defer node table free until after RCU readers

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

[ Upstream commit aaec7096f9961eb223b5b149abe9495525c205d9 ] HSR node-list and node-status generic-netlink operations run under rcu_read_lock(). They walk hsr->node_db through hsr_get_next_node() and hsr_get_node_data(), but RTM_DELLINK teardown removes the same node table with plain list_del() and frees each node immediately. That lets a generic-netlink reader hold a struct hsr_node pointer across hsr_dellink(). In a KASAN build, widening the reader window after hsr_get_next_node() obtains the node reproduces a slab-use-after-free when the reader copies node->macaddress_A; the freeing stack is hsr_del_nodes() from hsr_dellink(). Use list_del_rcu() and defer the free through the existing hsr_free_node_rcu() callback. This matches the lifetime rule used by the HSR prune paths, which already delete nodes with list_del_rcu() and call_rcu().
