watchdog: softlockup: panic when lockup duration exceeds N thresholds

2026-01-21T03:44:20+00:00

The softlockup_panic sysctl is currently a binary option: panic immediately or never panic on soft lockups. Panicking on any soft lockup, regardless of duration, can be overly aggressive for brief stalls that may be caused by legitimate operations. Conversely, never panicking may allow severe system hangs to persist undetected. Extend softlockup_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when the normalized lockup duration exceeds N watchdog threshold periods. This provides finer-grained control to distinguish between transient delays and persistent system failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic when duration >= 1 * threshold (20s default, original behavior) - N > 1: Panic when duration >= N * threshold (e.g., 2 = 40s, 3 = 60s.) The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility while allowing systems to tolerate brief lockups while still catching severe, persistent hangs.

hung_task: panic when there are more than N hung tasks at the same time

2025-11-12T18:00:14+00:00

The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or nothing. Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient glitch. A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when multiple tasks hang simultaneously. Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan. This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents and system-wide failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged) - N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility.

selftests: net: Enable legacy netfilter legacy options.

2025-07-25T16:38:55+00:00

Some specified options rely on NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY to be enabled. IP_NF_TARGET_TTL for instance depends on IP_NF_MANGLE which in turn depends on IP_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY -> NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Enable relevant iptables config options explicitly, this is needed to avoid breakage when symbols related to iptables-legacy will depend on NETFILTER_LEGACY resp. IP_TABLES_LEGACY. This also means that the classic tables (Kernel modules) will not be enabled by default, so enable them too.

wireguard: allowedips: add WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME flag

2025-05-27T07:06:19+00:00

The current netlink API for WireGuard does not directly support removal of allowed ips from a peer. A user can remove an allowed ip from a peer in one of two ways: 1. By using the WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS flag and providing a new list of allowed ips which omits the allowed ip that is to be removed. 2. By reassigning an allowed ip to a "dummy" peer then removing that peer with WGPEER_F_REMOVE_ME. With the first approach, the driver completely rebuilds the allowed ip list for a peer. If my current configuration is such that a peer has allowed ips 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 and I want to remove 192.168.0.2 the actual transition looks like this. [192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3] <-- Initial state [] <-- Step 1: Allowed ips removed for peer [192.168.0.3] <-- Step 2: Allowed ips added back for peer This is true even if the allowed ip list is small and the update does not need to be batched into multiple WG_CMD_SET_DEVICE requests, as the removal and subsequent addition of ips is non-atomic within a single request. Consequently, wg_allowedips_lookup_dst and wg_allowedips_lookup_src may return NULL while reconfiguring a peer even for packets bound for ips a user did not intend to remove leading to unintended interruptions in connectivity. This presents in userspace as failed calls to sendto and sendmsg for UDP sockets. In my case, I ran netperf while repeatedly reconfiguring the allowed ips for a peer with wg. /usr/local/bin/netperf -H 10.102.73.72 -l 10m -t UDP_STREAM -- -R 1 -m 1024 send_data: data send error: No route to host (errno 113) netperf: send_omni: send_data failed: No route to host While this may not be of particular concern for environments where peers and allowed ips are mostly static, systems like Cilium manage peers and allowed ips in a dynamic environment where peers (i.e. Kubernetes nodes) and allowed ips (i.e. pods running on those nodes) can frequently change making WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS problematic. The second approach avoids any possible connectivity interruptions but is hacky and less direct, requiring the creation of a temporary peer just to dispose of an allowed ip. Introduce a new flag called WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME which in the same way that WGPEER_F_REMOVE_ME allows a user to remove a single peer from a WireGuard device's configuration allows a user to remove an ip from a peer's set of allowed ips. This enables incremental updates to a device's configuration without any connectivity blips or messy workarounds. A corresponding patch for wg extends the existing `wg set` interface to leverage this feature. $ wg set wg0 peer allowed-ips +192.168.88.0/24,-192.168.0.1/32 When '+' or '-' is prepended to any ip in the list, wg clears WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS and sets the WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME flag on any ip prefixed with '-'.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained. Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be a more reliable replacement for the latter. Core: - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising: - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path - introduce basic per netns locking helpers - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of rtnl_register_many() - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as possible out of RTNL lock - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim. - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing. - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN handling consistent and reliable. - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing better introspection in case of packets drop. - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access. - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable. - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets and timestamps Things we sprinkled into general kernel code: - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops size. - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag implementation. Netfilter: - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure. - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the option to configure iptables without enabling any other config. - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI improvements. BPF: - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall, this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads. - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in combination with BPF cpumap. - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also add a batch of new BPF selftests for it. - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority} scrubbing to its BPF program. - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF programs. Protocols: - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up significantly connected sockets lookup. - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after close, the socket lock contention. - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state lookups. - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing risks on loosing them. - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per device neigh lists. Driver API: - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink. - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation. Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are: nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice. - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks. - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core. - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror offload. - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on device-specific entries. - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space. - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree. Tests and tooling: - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup phase Drivers: - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic, Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better introspection. - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox: - mlx5: - a large refactor to implement support for cross E-Switch scheduling - refactor H/W conter management to let it scale better - H/W GRO cleanups - Intel (100G, ice):: - add support for ethtool reset - implement support for per TX queue H/W shaping - AMD/Solarflare: - implement per device queue stats support - Broadcom (bnxt): - improve wildcard l4proto on IPv4/IPv6 ntuple rules - Marvell Octeon: - Add representor support for each Resource Virtualization Unit (RVU) device. - Hisilicon: - add support for the BMC Gigabit Ethernet - IBM (EMAC): - driver cleanup and modernization - Cisco (VIC): - raise the queues number limit to 256 - Ethernet virtual: - Google vNIC: - implement page pool support - macsec: - inherit lower device's features and TSO limits when offloading - virtio_net: - enable premapped mode by default - support for XDP socket(AF_XDP) zerocopy TX - wireguard: - set the TSO max size to be GSO_MAX_SIZE, to aggregate larger packets. - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual: - Broadcom ASP: - enable software timestamping - Freescale: - add enetc4 PF driver - MediaTek: Airoha SoC: - implement BQL support - RealTek r8169: - enable TSO by default on r8168/r8125 - implement extended ethtool stats - Renesas AVB: - enable TX checksum offload - Synopsys (stmmac): - support header splitting for vlan tagged packets - move common code for DWMAC4 and DWXGMAC into a separate FPE module. - add dwmac driver support for T-HEAD TH1520 SoC - Synopsys (xpcs): - driver refactor and cleanup - TI: - icssg_prueth: add VLAN offload support - Xilinx emaclite: - add clock support - Ethernet switches: - Microchip: - implement support for the lan969x Ethernet switch family - add LAN9646 switch support to KSZ DSA driver - Ethernet PHYs: - Marvel: 88q2x: enable auto negotiation - Microchip: add support for LAN865X Rev B1 and LAN867X Rev C1/C2 - PTP: - Add support for the Amazon virtual clock device - Add PtP driver for s390 clocks - WiFi: - mac80211 - EHT 1024 aggregation size for transmissions - new operation to indicate that a new interface is to be added - support radio separation of multi-band devices - move wireless extension spy implementation to libiw - Broadcom: - brcmfmac: optional LPO clock support - Microchip: - add support for Atmel WILC3000 - Qualcomm (ath12k): - firmware coredump collection support - add debugfs support for a multitude of statistics - Qualcomm (ath5k): - Arcadyan ARV45XX AR2417 & Gigaset SX76[23] AR241[34]A support - Realtek: - rtw88: 8821au and 8812au USB adapters support - rtw89: add thermal protection - rtw89: fine tune BT-coexsitence to improve user experience - rtw89: firmware secure boot for WiFi 6 chip - Bluetooth - add Qualcomm WCN785x support for ids Foxconn 0xe0fc/0xe0f3 and 0x13d3:0x3623 - add Realtek RTL8852BE support for id Foxconn 0xe123 - add MediaTek MT7920 support for wireless module ids - btintel_pcie: add handshake between driver and firmware - btintel_pcie: add recovery mechanism - btnxpuart: add GPIO support to power save feature" * tag 'net-next-6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1475 commits) mm: page_frag: fix a compile error when kernel is not compiled Documentation: tipc: fix formatting issue in tipc.rst selftests: nic_performance: Add selftest for performance of NIC driver selftests: nic_link_layer: Add selftest case for speed and duplex states selftests: nic_link_layer: Add link layer selftest for NIC driver bnxt_en: Add FW trace coredump segments to the coredump bnxt_en: Add a new ethtool -W dump flag bnxt_en: Add 2 parameters to bnxt_fill_coredump_seg_hdr() bnxt_en: Add functions to copy host context memory bnxt_en: Do not free FW log context memory bnxt_en: Manage the FW trace context memory bnxt_en: Allocate backing store memory for FW trace logs bnxt_en: Add a 'force' parameter to bnxt_free_ctx_mem() bnxt_en: Refactor bnxt_free_ctx_mem() bnxt_en: Add mem_valid bit to struct bnxt_ctx_mem_type bnxt_en: Update firmware interface spec to 1.10.3.85 selftests/bpf: Add some tests with sockmap SK_PASS bpf: fix recursive lock when verdict program return SK_PASS wireguard: device: support big tcp GSO wireguard: selftests: load nf_conntrack if not present ...
