Revert "ipv6: preserve insertion order for same-scope addresses"

2026-05-29T20:00:54+00:00

Chris Adams reported that preserving insertion order for same-scope addresses is causing SSH connections to be dropped after stopping a VM while running NetworkManager. NetworkManager caches the IPv6 address configuration, when a RA arrives, it determines the list of addresses to configure and checks if the addresses are already in the right order in the kernel. If they aren't, NetworkManager removes and re-adds them to achieve the desired order. As the order changes, NetworkManager is confused and reconfigures the addresses on every update. In addition, this would also affect to cloud tooling that relies on IPv6 addresses order to identify primary and secondaries addresses. This reverts commit cb3de96eea66f5e4a580086c6a1be46e765f97f4.

Florian Westphal says: ==================== netfilter: updates for net Patches 7+8 fix a regression from 7.1-rc1. Everything else is from 2.6.x to 5.3 releases. There are additional known issues with these patches (drive-by-findings in related code). There are many old bugs all over netfilter and our ability to review feature patches has come to a complete halt due to lack of time. There are further security bugs that we cannot address due to lack of time, maintainers and reviewers. Other remarks: The xtables 32bit compat interface is already off in many vendor kernels, the plan is to remove it soon. 1) Prevent RST packets with invalid sequence numbers from forcing TCP connections into the CLOSE state without a direction check. From Hamza Mahfooz. 2) Re-derive the TCP header pointer after skb_ensure_writable in synproxy_tstamp_adjust. Prevent use-after-free and invalid checksum updates caused by stale pointers during buffer expansion. From Chris Mason. 3) Fix a race condition causing keymap list corruption in conntracks gre/pptp helper. 4) Use raw_smp_processor_id() in xt_cpu to prevent splats under PREEMPT_RCU. 5) Disable netfilter payload mangling in user namespaces (nft_payload.c and nf_queue). TCP option mangling via nft_exthdr.c remains enabled. There will be followups here to restrict resp. revalidate headers. 6) Fix an out-of-bounds read in ebtables's compat_mtw_from_user function. 7) Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() to traverse fib6_siblings in nft_fib6_info_nh_uses_dev(). Ensure safe list walking under RCU. 8) Fix an out-of-bounds read in nft_fib_ipv6 caused by incorrect list traversal. 9) Add nft_fib_nexthop selftest to netfilter. Cover nexthop enumeration for single, group, and multipath route shapes. All three nft_fib6 fixes from Jiayuan Chen. 10) Fix destination corruption in shift operations when source and destination registers overlap. Reject partial register overlap for all operations from control plane.

selftests: netfilter: add nft_fib_nexthop test

2026-05-22T10:28:46+00:00

Functional coverage of nft_fib6_eval()'s nexthop enumeration over three route shapes: 1) single external nexthop (nhid) 2) external nexthop group (nhid -> group) 3) old-style multipath (nexthop ... nexthop ...) Each scenario places one nexthop on the input device (veth0). For (2) and (3) the matching nexthop is the second member, so the walk has to traverse beyond the primary nh. Two nft counters on prerouting verify the data path: one increments only when fib reports veth0 as the oif, the other counts "missing" results and must stay at zero. ./nft_fib_nexthop.sh PASS: single external nexthop (nhid -> veth0) PASS: nexthop group (dummy0 + veth0) PASS: old-style multipath (sibling on veth0) Suggested-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: Jiayuan Chen Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal

selftests: net: Fix checksums in xdp_native

2026-05-21T14:47:00+00:00

Data adjustment cases failed with "Data exchange failed" when using IPv4 because the program did not update the IP and UDP checksums in the IPv4 branch. The issue was masked when both IPv4 and IPv6 were configured, since the test harness prefers IPv6. While here, generalize csum_fold_helper() to fold twice so it works for any 32-bit input.

selftests: rds: config: disable modules

2026-05-21T14:39:20+00:00

The run.sh script explicitly checks that CONFIG_MODULES is disabled. By default, this config option is enabled. Explicitly disable it to be able to run the RDS tests. Note that writing '# CONFIG_(...) is not set' is usually recommended to disable an option in the .config, but it looks like selftests usually set 'CONFIG_(...)=n', which looks clearer.

selftests: mptcp: drop nanoseconds width specifier

2026-05-19T13:36:35+00:00

Using the format specifier +%s%3N with GNU date is honoured, and only prints 3 digits of the nanoseconds portion of the seconds since epoch, which corresponds to the milliseconds. The uutils implementation of date currently does not honour this, and always prints all 9 digits. This is a known issue [1], but can be worked around by adapting this test to use nanoseconds instead of microseconds, and then divide it by 1e6. This fix is similar to what has been done on systemd side [2], and it is needed to run the selftests on Ubuntu 26.04, containing uutils 0.8.0. Note that the Fixes tag is there even if this patch doesn't fix an issue in the kernel selftests, but it is useful for those using uutils 0.8.0.
