usbnet: cap max_mtu for drivers without bind callback
usbnet_probe() initializes max_mtu to ETH_MAX_MTU and only caps it
inside the if (info->bind) block. Drivers without a bind callback
never enter this block, so max_mtu stays at ETH_MAX_MTU.
QEMU's usb-net device (0x0525/0xa4a2) is claimed by the cdc_subset
driver which has no bind callback. The guest accepts any MTU from DHCP
(e.g. 65520 from passt), leading to TCP segments that exceed the
device's 2048-byte receive buffer and are silently dropped.
Initialize max_mtu to net->mtu at probe time and update it inside
the bind block.

net: atlantic: fix two ring teardown leaks
These are the two fixes from the page_pool conversion series [1],
resent against net as requested in the review of that series. The
page_pool conversion itself stays in net-next and is not part of this
posting; it depends on these fixes, but they stand on their own.
Both patches are unchanged from [1] apart from the collected
Reviewed-by tags, and each carries a Fixes tag and a Cc: stable with
the affected range (patch 1: v4.11+, patch 2: v5.2+). They apply and
were build- and runtime-tested independently of each other and of the
conversion.
Patch 1: aq_vec_deinit() drains the TX rings with a single
aq_ring_tx_clean() call, which is capped at AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET
descriptors and stops at hw_head, frozen once the hardware and NAPI
have been stopped. Everything beyond that keeps its skb or xdp_frame
when the interface goes down and is lost when the buffer ring is
freed.
Patch 2: aq_ring_rx_deinit() only walks [sw_head, sw_tail). Since the
page reuse strategy was added, a cleaned RX buffer keeps its page for
reuse and refill is batched, so consumed but not yet reposted slots
accumulate in the [sw_tail, sw_head) gap and their pages and DMA
mappings are never released.
Reproduction logs for both leaks (as page_pool stalled shutdowns,
which is how they become visible) are in the notes of the respective
patches.

Walk the whole ring instead and release whatever is still there. Also

aq_vec_deinit() drains the TX rings with a single aq_ring_tx_clean()
call, which frees at most AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET (256) descriptors and
stops at hw_head, which no longer moves once aq_vec_stop() has stopped
the hardware and NAPI. Completed descriptors beyond the budget and
everything still posted in [hw_head, sw_tail) keep their skb or
xdp_frame when the interface goes down: aq_vec_ring_free() then frees
the buffer ring and the references are lost for good.
Today this is a silent memory leak on every interface down under
TX/XDP_TX load. With the conversion of the RX path to page_pool posted
for net-next it becomes much more visible: XDP_TX frames carry fragment
references on the RX ring's page_pool, so a single stranded frame keeps
the pool's inflight count above zero forever. page_pool_destroy() then
never completes, the pool is leaked together with its pages, and
"page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown" is warned every 60
seconds from that point on, on every ifdown, XDP detach or ring resize
under XDP_TX load.
Bring back aq_ring_tx_deinit() as it was before the removal and use it
for teardown again, with one extension: TX rings can hold xdp_frames
nowadays, so release those too. They are returned with
xdp_return_frame() since this runs in process context.

net: stmmac: resume PHY before hardware setup when opening the interface
Since the referenced commit, changing the MTU on a running interface no
longer disconnects and reconnects the PHY; __stmmac_release() merely
stops phylink, which also suspends the PHY (BMCR power-down) when WoL
is not enabled. __stmmac_open() then performs the DMA software reset in
stmmac_hw_setup() before phylink_start() resumes the PHY again.
IEEE 802.3 22.2.4.1.5 allows a PHY to stop its receive clock while
powered down, and stmmac requires a running receive clock for the DMA
software reset to complete (the phylink config sets mac_requires_rxc).
On such setups, e.g. the RK3566-based Home Assistant Green with an
RTL8211F-VD PHY in RGMII mode, any runtime MTU change now times out and
leaves the interface dead:
rk_gmac-dwmac
fe010000.ethernet end0: Failed to reset the dma
rk_gmac-dwmac
fe010000.ethernet end0: stmmac_hw_setup: DMA engine initialization failed
rk_gmac-dwmac
fe010000.ethernet end0: __stmmac_open: Hw setup failed
rk_gmac-dwmac
fe010000.ethernet end0: failed reopening the interface after MTU change
In the field this is triggered by NetworkManager applying an MTU while
activating the connection, breaking networking entirely. The same
regression has also been reported on i.MX8MP and reproduced on SoCFPGA
based systems.
Resume the PHY in __stmmac_open() before the hardware setup, making it
the counterpart of the phylink_stop() in __stmmac_release(), like
stmmac_resume() already does for the same reason. phylink_start() also
resumes the PHY, but only after stmmac_hw_setup(), and it cannot be
moved before the hardware setup since it may bring the link up
immediately from a workqueue, racing with the initialization (see the
comment in stmmac_resume()). For the regular ndo_open path the PHY has
just been attached and is not suspended, in which case
phylink_prepare_resume() does nothing.

net/sched: cls_api: Always acquire rtnl_lock when destroying locked classifiers
Another challenge with unlocked filters.
There is a short window in tc_new_tfilter where a tcf_proto can be found
and briefly referenced by a totally unrelated, unlocked classifier's request
and cause a race.
Feng created a poc which created this race with two threads, one creating a
u32 filter and other a flower filter in the same chain/prio:
1. Both threads enter tc_new_tfilter, both find the chain empty, both
drop filter_chain_lock
2. u32 finishes tcf_proto_create("u32") first, calls
tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> inserts u32_tp into the chain
3. flower finishes tcf_proto_create("flower") later, calls
tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> tcf_chain_tp_find() now sees u32_tp
already there, takes a reference on it, destroys flower's own tp_new
and returns u32_tp to the caller.
Flower then hits the kind mismatch check (because it requested for kind
"flower" but tp->ops->kind is "u32") and goes through the errout path
which calls tcf_proto_put() on u32_tp. If the u32 thread has already
gone through its own errout (its change() call failed on the PoC's empty
options) and dropped its create and insert refs, flower's put is the
last one and drops u32_tp's refcnt to zero.
At this point tp->ops->destroy() runs in a context that never took
rtnl_lock. When that happens, it might cause a UAF like the following
(illustrated by the PoC):
[ +0.000710] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in u32_init (net/sched/cls_u32.c:393)

tc_new_tfilter (net/sched/cls_api.c:2459)
Fix this by having tcf_proto_destroy() take rtnl_lock around
tp->ops->destroy() for locked classifiers whenever rtnl is not held.
To explain why I used a temp variable "not_lockless" I'd like to point to a
semi-related note on rtnl_held vs TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED (adding here
for future cleanup if deemed necessary):
The rtnl_held parameter and the TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED flag are
redundant sources of truth for whether rtnl_lock is held. Among the nine
classifier destroy(..rtnl_held..) callbacks, only flower consults the
rtnl_held parameter which it propagates to tc_setup_cb_destroy()
and tc_setup_cb_call(). The other eight (u32, flow, bpf, cgroup, route, basic,
fw, mall) ignore it entirely;-> those that call tc_setup_cb_destroy()
(u32, bpf, mall) hardcode true always instead of forwarding the parameter.
A future cleanup should remove the rtnl_held parameter from the destroy callback
signature entirely and have callers rely solely on their knowledge whether
they are running in an unlocked context.

net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice
smc_rx_splice() passes pages to splice_to_pipe() before taking the
references that cover the lifetime of each splice entry. In the
VM-backed RMB path, splice_to_pipe() may drop unqueued entries through
smc_rx_spd_release(), while queued entries are released later via the
pipe buffer callback.
The old post-splice accounting also derives the number of queued VM pages
from an offset mutated while building the descriptor, and a multi-page
splice pairs one sock_hold() with multiple sock_put() calls.
Take the page and socket references for every candidate entry before
splice_to_pipe(), and drop the matching private state, page reference,
and socket reference from smc_rx_spd_release() for entries that never
get queued. This fixes a refcount imbalance that can underflow page
refcounts and trigger a use-after-free.

bnge: Fix NULL pointer dereference in aux device release
If allocation of auxr_dev fails during auxiliary device setup, the error

The release callback unconditionally dereferences aux_priv->auxr_dev->pdev

When the interface has NETIF_F_SG enabled and skb_linearize() fails in

usbnet_start_xmit() treats a NULL return from tx_fixup() as a drop

to the "drop" label where it does `if (skb) dev_kfree_skb_any(skb)`.

Cen Zhang reported a KASAN out-of-bounds read when AF_XDP is configured
with a TX metadata area smaller than struct xsk_tx_metadata. The metadata

produce inconsistent validation and processing decisions.
Require enough space for the flags and one request field, validate the
launch-time field against the configured metadata length, and use one

xsk: clear metadata pointer when no timestamp is requested
User space can change metadata flags after request processing. Rereading
them during completion can therefore make the kernel write a timestamp
that was not requested when the packet was submitted.
Clear the metadata pointer during request processing unless timestamp
completion is requested. Completion handling can then use the pointer
itself instead of rereading the flags.
On the mlx5 multi-packet WQE path metadata is evaluated per batch:
xsk_tx_metadata_request() runs only for the descriptor that starts a
session, just like the checksum offload that is applied once through the
shared WQE. Only that descriptor's pointer is reset, so completion
handling can record a timestamp for the other descriptors of the session
regardless of their own XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP bit. The write stays
inside the metadata area; the single-WQE, other zero-copy, and generic
paths reset the pointer per descriptor and are unaffected.

ipv6: fix Route Information option length validation
rt6_route_rcv() validates the Route Information option (RFC 4191) length
against the prefix length, but both checks are off by one.
rinfo->length is the ND option length in units of 8 octets and it
*includes* the 8-byte option header, so an option carrying N bytes of
prefix has length == 1 + N/8. RFC 4191 section 2.3 requires length 3
when Prefix Length is greater than 64, and 2 or 3 when it is greater
than 0. The code accepts length >= 2 and length >= 1 respectively.
ipv6_addr_prefix() then copies prefix_len/8 bytes out of rinfo->prefix,
so a Router Advertisement with (prefix_len=128, length=2) or
(prefix_len=64, length=1) makes the kernel read up to 8 bytes past the
end of the option. Those bytes end up in the prefix of the route that
gets installed, so they are visible to userspace:
# RA with a Route Information option (prefix_len=128, length=2)
# followed by a source link-layer address option, 01 01 de ad be ef ca fe
$ ip -6 route show
2001:db8:dead:beef:101:dead:beef:cafe via fe80::1234 dev veth0 proto ra
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the next option, read out of bounds
When the Route Information option is the last one in the packet, those
eight bytes come from the skb tail room instead.
Reject the option lengths RFC 4191 does not allow.

tcp: do not change rcv_ssthresh in tcp_measure_rcv_mss()
Commit
f5da7c45188e ("tcp: adjust rcvq_space after updating scaling
ratio") replaced the direct window_clamp update in tcp_measure_rcv_mss()
with a call to tcp_set_window_clamp(), a helper that implements the
TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP setsockopt. As a side effect, the helper also shrinks
rcv_ssthresh via __tcp_adjust_rcv_ssthresh().
As a result, each scaling_ratio decrease detected by
tcp_measure_rcv_mss() also cuts rcv_ssthresh. Elsewhere in TCP,
rcv_ssthresh is usually cut under memory pressure and grows via
tcp_grow_window().
Flows whose segment sizes vary keep scaling_ratio oscillating, which
leads to an unstable rcv_ssthresh: a dip of rcv_ssthresh only recovers
via tcp_grow_window(), keeping the advertised window at a relatively
low level even after the ratio itself has recovered, and can even stall
the sender.
Observed on a customer's proxy gateway after upgrading from kernel 6.1
to 6.12: in the worst case, rcv_ssthresh was cut in half by a
scaling_ratio dip. P99 latency jumped from <10ms on 6.1 to ~100ms on
6.12, and almost returned to the 6.1 level with this patch applied.
Restore the plain WRITE_ONCE() update of window_clamp, as introduced
in commit
a2cbb1603943 ("tcp: Update window clamping condition"), and
keep the rcvq_space.space adjustment. Now rcv_ssthresh is decoupled from
scaling_ratio changes in tcp_measure_rcv_mss().

net/mlx5: SF, Handle function changed event
When host is powered off, firmware does not send vhca_state event
for every probed host SF on the DPU because it may have deployed
thousands of SFs to the host. Instead it sends a function changed
event. Currently, only VFs handle this event. This commit extends
support to SFs.
When DPU user deactivates[1] SFs, mlx5 expects vhca_state event
and leaves the SF in dangling state[2].
When DPU user deletes[3] SFs, mlx5 also expects vhca_state event
and destroys the SF resources[4].
Fix it by changing SF to the right state and freeing SF resources
when the function changed event is received.
When this event is received, driver checks all SF states.
- If state is in_use, change it to active.
- If state is teardown_request, change it to allocated.
And SF hardware table entry is freed if it is pending for delete.

net/sched: cls_route: fix fastmap use-after-free on filter
The route4 classifier maintains a 16-slot fastmap cache that stores raw
struct route4_filter pointers indexed by (id, iif). The reader
(route4_classify) populates this cache via route4_set_fastmap() for every
classified packet that hits a filter. The writer (route4_delete,
route4_change) clears the cache via route4_reset_fastmap() before
RCU-deferred kfree of the filter.
This creates a UAF race:
1. Reader walks the RCU-protected bucket chain, finds filter f
2. Writer unlinks f, calls route4_reset_fastmap(), then tcf_queue_work()
3. Reader calls route4_set_fastmap() and writes f into the cache
*after* the writer's reset, caching a pointer about to be freed
4. After the RCU grace period, kfree(f) executes
5. Next classified packet on the same (id, iif) tuple hits the stale
fastmap entry and reads f->res from freed memory
Reproduced with an mdelay(100) accelerator in route4_set_fastmap() and a
concurrent add/delete stress test (provided by both zdi and Santosh).
Both triggered KASAN slab-use-after-free reports in the route4 fastmap
paths.

net/x25: fix use-after-free of the socket by its timers
The x25 timers are armed with mod_timer() and cancelled with
timer_delete(), so a pending timer holds no reference on the socket and a
cancel does not wait for a callback already running on another CPU.
x25_heartbeat_expiry() also rearms unconditionally, so it can reinstall
sk->sk_timer after __x25_destroy_socket() has passed its cancel point.
The following __sock_put() frees the socket while the timer is still
queued, and the next expiry uses freed memory. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-2k object freed by close().
timer_delete_sync() cannot be used here: x25_heartbeat_expiry() and
x25_timer_expiry() both reach the cancels from inside the timer they
would wait on, through __x25_destroy_socket() and x25_disconnect().
Arm the timers with sk_reset_timer() and cancel them with sk_stop_timer()
so that an armed timer owns a reference, and release it in both expiry
handlers. Rearm the heartbeat only while sk_hashed(sk) is still true,
since __x25_destroy_socket() unlinks the socket before dropping it. Arm
the deferred destroy timer the same way and drop its reference in
x25_destroy_timer().
Reproduced on net with KASAN, with the heartbeat period shortened so the
window recurs. With this patch the reproducer no longer triggers a
report and /proc/net/x25 drains.

cannot requeue the work. cancel_work_sync() is safe under the device

pds_core: keep the health thread stopped during reset
Commit
d9407ff11809 ("pds_core: Prevent health thread from running
during reset/remove") stops the health thread with cancel_work_sync()
before a reset, but a devcmd timeout during pdsc_fw_down() re-queues
health_work, so pdsc_health_thread() runs again mid-reset and double
allocates the core DMA queues via pdsc_fw_up().
Only the reset path is affected: on remove PDSC_S_STOPPING_DRIVER gates
the health thread and the workqueue is destroyed.
Use disable_work_sync() to cancel health_work and block further
queue_work() on it, and enable_work() in pdsc_restart_health_thread() to
re-allow it after the reset.
disable_work_sync() keeps a disable depth, so every disable must be
matched by one enable. pdsc_reset_prepare() stops the health thread and
pdsc_reset_done() restarts it. On the AER path pdsc_pci_error_detected()
calls pdsc_reset_prepare(), then pdsc_pci_error_resume() re-inits via
pci_reset_function_locked() (pds_core has no .slot_reset handler), which
runs the pair again - stopping the thread twice but restarting it once.

For frames sent via __dev_queue_xmit() this is harmless: it resets the

path uses dev_direct_xmit(), which does not, so the frame reaches
ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset. A driver that reads
eth_hdr(skb) on transmit then dereferences skb->head + (u16)~0, an
out-of-bounds access ~64 KiB past the head -- the same class fixed for
one consumer in commit

packet_parse_headers() runs only on the transmit path, where skb->data
points at the start of the L2 header for every packet-socket type
regardless of its length: SOCK_RAW and SOCK_PACKET carry a user-supplied
header and SOCK_DGRAM has one built by dev_hard_header(). Reset the MAC
header unconditionally, mirroring __dev_queue_xmit(), so the frame is

Revert "net: thunderbolt: Enable end-to-end flow control also in transmit"
This reverts commit
a8065af3346ebd7c76ebc113451fb3ba94cf7769.
Per the USB4 spec, a Transmit Descriptor Ring with E2E flow control
disabled does not require any credits to be available before the Host
Interface Adapter Layer transmits a tunneled packet from it. Once E2E is
enabled on that ring the controller must first obtain end-to-end
credits.
The ASMedia ASM4242 USB4 host router (PCI 1b21:2425) never delivers
those credits. The controller does accept the configuration: reading the
ring OPTIONS register back right after tb_ring_start() returns exactly
what was written, including RING_FLAG_E2E_FLOW_CONTROL (bit 28) and the
E2E HopID field. No credit ever arrives though, so the Tx ring's
hardware consumer index never advances and the link carries no traffic
at all.
Measured on two hosts connected point to point, onboard ASM4242 on MSI
X870E and X870, v6.17, stock drivers/net/thunderbolt/main.c with only
this revert applied on top:
before: 100% packet loss to the peer; thunderbolt0 is up and the
XDomain handshake completes ("new host found"), but iperf3
fails with "No route to host" once the neighbour entry
expires
after: 0% packet loss, 0.28 ms RTT; iperf3 4.21 Gb/s one way and
5.17 Gb/s the other (5 runs each, stddev <= 0.02), 1
retransmit in 10 s
An instrumented build additionally showed a frozen-Tx-consumer watchdog
firing ~30k times in a 10 s window before this change.
Rx-side E2E is not touched by this revert, so peers that do return
credits keep receive-side flow control.
ASMedia does not look like an isolated case. The out-of-tree
thunderbolt-ibverbs project disables native E2E on AMD NHI by default,
noting that "Strix Halo has reproduced TX completion wedges with
multiple native E2E rings active" -- the same failure mode, on a
different vendor. Since the driver has no way to tell in advance which
host router returns the credits, going back to the previous behaviour
looks safer than adding a quirk per affected part; Tx-side E2E can be
reintroduced as an opt-in for controllers that are known to implement
the credit return.
Note that the reverted commit was not fixing a reported problem, it was
derived from the spec wording alone, so this revert is not expected to
regress a known workload. Cc'ing the original author in case there was
one.

net: hns3: fix speed configuration residue after driver reload
After setting a 100G optical port to 40G via ethtool and reloading
the driver, the port remains at 40G instead of reverting to the
firmware default speed of 100G.
The commit referenced in Fixes: added two overwrites in
hclge_init_ae_dev() for non-copper media, so that optical ports
connected to forced-mode remotes inherit the firmware-preset
autoneg and speed instead of the hardcoded defaults:
req_autoneg = mac.autoneg
req_speed = mac.speed (when autoneg disabled)
The autoneg overwrite keeps existing behavior:
hclge_set_autoneg_speed_dup() already uses mac.autoneg (not
req_autoneg) since it was introduced, so autoneg inheritance from
firmware was already in place. This part is kept.
The speed overwrite, however, introduces the residue: mac.speed
reflects whatever was last programmed into the MAC, and after unload
firmware does not restore the MAC speed to the flash default. So if
the user changed speed via ethtool in a prior load, mac.speed still
carries that value on reload and req_speed inherits it.
Fix by dropping the req_speed overwrite only. req_speed keeps the
firmware default value set in hclge_configure() (cfg.default_speed),
so a reload reverts the speed to default, matching the expectation
that a driver reload resets link configuration.
Trade-off: on optical ports whose firmware default speed does not
match a forced-mode remote, reload now drops the link and the user
must re-apply ethtool configuration. This is acceptable: a driver
reload is expected to reset link configuration, not to inherit
runtime state from before unload. The autoneg inheritance is left
in place as established behavior; changing it is out of scope for
this patch and would itself be a user-perceivable behavior change.

qede: sync udp_tunnel ports outside qede_lock in the recovery path
A TX timeout on a qede NIC that has VXLAN/GENEVE tunnel ports
configured wedges the rtnetlink control plane of the whole machine:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: ens6f1 (qede): transmit queue 2 timed out 10226 ms
[qede_tx_timeout:586(ens6f1)]TX timeout on queue 2!
[qede_recovery_handler:2665(ens6f0)]Starting a recovery process
The recovery path deadlocks on the driver's own mutex:
qede_sp_task
rtnl_lock()
mutex_lock(&edev->qede_lock) <- taken
qede_recovery_handler
qede_load
udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf
__udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync
info->sync_table == qede_udp_tunnel_sync
mutex_lock(&edev->qede_lock) <- same task: deadlock
The mutex is not recursive, so the kworker blocks on itself with
rtnl_lock held, and neither lock is ever released. Every task that
calls rtnl_lock() afterwards (ip, ovs-vswitchd, lldpad, IPv6
addrconf, sshd) blocks forever while the node still answers ping.
In a vmcore from an affected production node rtnl_mutex.owner
decodes to the very kworker blocked at the innermost mutex_lock()
above.
Re-sync the tunnel ports from qede_sp_task() after the internal lock
is dropped, still under rtnl_lock as the udp_tunnel API requires.
This mirrors qede_open(), which calls udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf()
under rtnl without the internal lock.
qede_recovery_handler() now returns whether it has successfully
reloaded an open device, and the caller re-syncs the ports only in
that case. This keeps the old gating exactly: a device that was down
or a failed recovery returns false, as those paths never reached the
udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf() call before either.
This was the only user of the qede_lock()/qede_unlock() helpers, so
remove them.

net: openvswitch: fix potential UAF on meter attach failure
While attaching a newly created meter attach_meter() function makes
the new meter visible to other CPUs but can still fail afterwards.
On failure, it detaches the meter back and returns an error.
However, this is an unexpected behavior for the ovs_meter_cmd_set()
that uses a plain kfree(meter) on attach failure without waiting for
RCU readers to stop using it, assuming it was never visible.
This is never a problem for ovs-vswitchd as it always creates meters

net: libwx: fix FDIR ATR queue mismatch for software VLAN packets
When TX VLAN hardware offload is disabled, VLAN tags are embedded in
the packet payload (software VLAN). Previously, the driver failed to
set the WX_TX_FLAGS_SW_VLAN flag for these packets during transmission.
This missing flag caused the txgbe FDIR ATR logic to fall through to the
default hash calculation path. This resulted in asymmetric hash values
for Tx and Rx flows, preventing return packets from being steered to the
same queue as the transmit packets.
Fix this by detecting software VLANs via eth_type_vlan(skb->protocol)
and setting WX_TX_FLAGS_SW_VLAN. This ensures the ATR feature selects

ovpn: disable IPv4 redirects on MP interfaces
ovpn_mp_alloc() tried to disable SEND_REDIRECTS on a multipeer
interface, but it runs from ovpn_net_init() (->ndo_init), which
register_netdevice() invokes before the NETDEV_REGISTER notifier
chain. The IPv4 in_device is only created when that notifier reaches
inetdev_event() -> inetdev_init(), so __in_dev_get_rtnl() always
returned NULL at ndo_init time and the whole redirect-disabling block
(both the per-device and the per-netns IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL write) was
dead. MP interfaces therefore kept emitting ICMP redirects.
Disabling redirects only once is not enough either: the IPv4
in_device is destroyed and recreated when the interface is moved to a
different network namespace (NETDEV_UNREGISTER/NETDEV_REGISTER), and
the newly created in_device inherits the destination namespace
defaults, silently re-enabling SEND_REDIRECTS.
Disable redirects from ovpn_net_open() (->ndo_open) instead: it runs

ovpn: hash floated peer by transport identity only
The by_transp_addr table is keyed on the peer's remote transport
address, but the float rehash hashed bind->remote directly, while the
two other sites that touch the table build a clean key first:
ovpn_peer_add_mp() and the lookup in ovpn_peer_get_by_transp_addr()
both hash a sockaddr holding only family/address/port.
For a link-local IPv6 peer, bind->remote carries sin6_scope_id (set
from ipv6_iface_scope_id() when the endpoint is learned), and that
field is folded into the jhash() over sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6).
The lookup never sets sin6_scope_id, so after such a peer floats it is
rehashed into a scope_id-dependent bucket that lookups (scope_id 0)
never visit, making the peer unreachable through the by_transp_addr
fallback. ovpn_peer_transp_match() only compares address and port, so
the hash was keying on a field the match ignores.
sin6_scope_id must stay in bind->remote because the TX path uses it as
flowi6_oif, so it cannot just be cleared there. Instead build the hash
key from family/address/port only, exactly like ovpn_peer_add_mp() and
the lookup, so all three sites agree on the bucket.

ovpn: zero-initialize sockaddr before learning a floated endpoint
ovpn_peer_endpoints_update() builds the new remote endpoint in an
on-stack struct sockaddr_storage that is left uninitialized. For IPv4
only sin_family/sin_addr/sin_port are written, leaving the 8-byte
sin_zero padding as stack garbage (for IPv6, sin6_flowinfo is left
uninitialized likewise).
ovpn_peer_reset_sockaddr() -> ovpn_bind_from_sockaddr() then memcpy()s
sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)/sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) bytes - padding
included - into bind->remote. That buffer is later hashed with jhash()
over the same length to place the peer in the by_transp_addr table, so
the garbage padding lands the floated peer in an essentially random
bucket. Lockless lookups in ovpn_peer_get_by_transp_addr() build their
key from a zero-initialized sockaddr_storage, compute a different bucket
and fail to find the peer.
This is also a plain use of uninitialized stack memory in jhash().
Build the floated endpoint with a designated initializer so the
padding (sin_zero for IPv4, sin6_flowinfo for IPv6) is zeroed as part
of the assignment. This keeps the padding out of the by_transp_addr
hash key without memset-ing the whole sockaddr_storage on every

left in the bucket of peers->by_transp_addr corresponding to its old

ovpn: skip rehash for peers already removed from by_id
ovpn_nl_peer_set_doit() resolves the target peer via
ovpn_peer_get_by_id() before taking ovpn->lock. In the window between
the lookup (which only takes a refcount) and the subsequent
spin_lock_bh(&ovpn->lock), a concurrent OVPN_CMD_PEER_DEL, keepalive
expiry, or socket teardown can take ovpn->lock first, run
ovpn_peer_remove() to unhash the peer from all four tables (by_id,
by_vpn_addr4/6, by_transp_addr) and release the lock. set_doit then
acquires ovpn->lock and calls ovpn_peer_hash_vpn_ip(), which
re-inserts the now-removed peer back into the rehashing tables.
The same race affects the float path: ovpn_peer_endpoints_update()
holds only a refcount and acquires ovpn->lock very late (after async
AEAD decrypt and a netlink notification), then rehashes the peer
in the by_transp_addr table.
The resurrected peer becomes reachable again from the RX lookup
(ovpn_peer_get_by_transp_addr) and the TX VPN-IP lookup, even though
userspace believes it is gone. Once the data-path refcount drops the
peer is freed via call_rcu while the hash entries embedded in it
remain linked, opening a UAF window.
Bail out of the rehash when hash_entry_id is unhashed, mirroring
the sentinel already used by ovpn_peer_remove() to detect the
already-removed state. The check is safe under ovpn->lock, which
serializes every mutation of hash_entry_id, and is a no-op for the
add path because ovpn_peer_add_mp() inserts hash_entry_id before
calling ovpn_peer_hash_vpn_ip().

ptp: netc: fix potential interrupt storm caused by incorrect unbind order
In netc_timer_remove(), hardware interrupts are disabled by clearing
TMR_TEMASK before ptp_clock_unregister() is called. This may cause a
race condition during driver unbind that could leave hardware interrupts
active. For example, a concurrent PTP_CLK_REQ_EXTTS ioctl can re-enable
TMR_TEMASK after it has been cleared, leaving a pending hardware
interrupt when the driver unbinds.
Since the NETC Timer does not support PCIe FLR, hardware state is not
reset during probe. When the driver is rebound and the IRQ is registered,
the pending interrupt fires immediately. At that point priv->tmr_emask
is still zero, so netc_timer_isr() does not clear the interrupt status
and unconditionally returns IRQ_HANDLED, resulting in an uninterruptible
infinite interrupt storm.
Fix this in several ways. First, request the IRQ with IRQF_NO_AUTOEN so
it is not enabled when request_irq() runs, and clear TMR_TEMASK in
netc_timer_init() before enabling it. The IRQ is only enabled at the end
of probe once the timer has been reprogrammed and the PTP clock has been
registered. This ensures a stale pending interrupt from a previous unbind
or an unclean shutdown cannot be delivered before the driver is fully
initialized.
Second, in netc_timer_remove() call disable_irq() before
ptp_clock_unregister() and move the TMR_TEMASK/TMR_CTRL clearing after
it. disable_irq() masks the line and waits for any in-flight
netc_timer_isr() to finish, so no ISR can dereference priv->clock after
ptp_clock_unregister() has freed it. Unregistering the PTP clock before
clearing the mask also guarantees that no in-flight or concurrent ioctl
can re-enable hardware interrupts.
Finally, return IRQ_NONE from netc_timer_isr() when the masked event
status is zero, so the kernel's spurious interrupt detection can disable
a stuck line instead of looping forever.

net: dsa: mt7530: fix swallowed MDIO read errors
While working on a register access cleanup for the mt7530 driver, the
Sashiko AI reviewers flagged long-standing error handling gaps in the
driver's read paths [1].
The MDIO regmap backend truncates negative bus->read() errnos into u16
register halves and returns success, handing garbage data to callers
and to read-modify-write cycles which then write it back to the switch.
The ATC/VTCR command polls and the MT7531 indirect PHY polls consume
reads through a helper which returns 0 when the underlying read fails.
A failed bus transaction thus clears the polled busy bit and is
mistaken for command completion, defeats the subsequent
ATC_INVALID/VTCR_INVALID checks the same way, and lets the indirect
PHY access functions return garbage PHY register data.
Fix the backend to propagate bus->read() errors, and convert the

terminates polling on read errors and propagates them.

====================
Revert "tun/tap & vhost-net: apply qdisc backpressure on full ptr_ring to reduce TX drops"
Commit
1d6e569b7d0c ("tun/tap & vhost-net: avoid ptr_ring tail-drop when
a qdisc is present") did not show a relevant performance regression in my
testing, but on Brett Sheffield's librecast testbed it causes a
significant throughput drop in an IPv6 multicast testcase. The regression
can be pinpointed to multiple iperf3 TCP threads sending: for 8 threads
the throughput dropped from 13.5 Gbit/s to 9.13 Gbit/s.
Therefore this series reverts the qdisc backpressure work.
Making the backpressure opt-in via a new IFF_BACKPRESSURE flag was
proposed in [1], but a new IFF_* flag needs more review scrutiny than is
available at the moment, so a revert was requested instead. The opt-in
will be resubmitted for net-next later.

The Adaptation Layer Indication parameter contains a fixed 32-bit
Adaptation Code Point after its parameter header. However,
sctp_verify_param() accepts a header-only parameter because the generic

sctp_process_param() then reads adaptation_ind beyond the declared

When adding a source-specific route creates a new subtree, fib6_add()
installs fib6_null_entry as the temporary leaf of the new subtree root
and takes a fib6_info reference for that holder.
If adding the first source leaf fails, the code frees the just allocated
subtree root but leaves that hold behind. fib6_null_entry is a per-netns
sentinel and is freed directly at netns teardown, so this does not keep
the object alive. However, it leaves its visible refcount permanently
elevated and can eventually saturate the refcount on repeated failures.

psp: fix NULL genl_sock deref race with concurrent netns teardown
The race occurs between network namespace removal and PSP device
unregistration. When a netns is deleted while a PSP device associated
with that netns is concurrently being removed, psp_dev_unregister()
triggers psp_nl_notify_dev() to send a device change notification.
Concurrently, cleanup_net() running in the netns workqueue calls
genl_pernet_exit(), which sets net->genl_sock to NULL. If
genl_pernet_exit() wins the race, two sites in psp_nl_multicast_per_ns()
then dereference the NULL socket and crash:
CPU 0 (netns teardown) CPU 1 (PSP device unregister)
====================== =============================

-> netlink_has_listeners(NULL)
/* crash */
genlmsg_multicast_netns()
-> nlmsg_multicast_filtered(NULL)
/* crash */
Fix by replacing the bare dev_net() calls with maybe_get_net().
maybe_get_net() returns NULL if the namespace is already dying.
Holding the reference ensures genl_sock remains valid across both the
build_ntf() and genlmsg_multicast_netns() calls.

dibs: fix use-after-free of dmb_node in loopback attach/detach/unregister
dibs_lo_attach_dmb(), dibs_lo_detach_dmb() and dibs_lo_unregister_dmb()
look up the dmb_node under dmb_ht_lock, drop the lock and only then
operate on the node's refcount. Nothing keeps the node alive across
that window: __dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() removes the node from the hash
table under the write lock and immediately frees it.
A concurrent final put can therefore free the node between the lookup
and the refcount operation:
CPU0 (attach) CPU1 (owner unregisters)
read_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
find dmb_node (refcnt == 1)
read_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
refcount_dec_and_test() 1 -> 0
write_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
hash_del(&dmb_node->list)
write_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)
kfree(dmb_node)
refcount_inc_not_zero(&dmb_node->refcnt) <-- use-after-free
The same window exists for the refcount_dec_and_test() calls in the
detach and unregister paths.
Close the race structurally by making hash table membership and the
refcount transitions atomic with respect to each other:
- Perform the final refcount_dec_and_test() and hash_del() in a single
dmb_ht_lock write-side critical section, in both the unregister and
the detach path. Freeing the node still happens after the lock is
dropped, which is safe because a node whose refcount reached zero has
left the hash table and can no longer be found.
- This establishes the invariant that any node found in the hash table
holds at least one reference, and that the final reference can only
be dropped under the write lock. dibs_lo_attach_dmb() can thus take
its reference with a plain refcount_inc() while still holding the
read lock; refcount_inc_not_zero() is no longer needed.
__dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() no longer touches the hash table and is
renamed to dibs_lo_free_dmb() accordingly.
Note: commit
cc21191b584c ("dibs: Move data path to dibs layer") moved
the code to its current location; the race was introduced earlier by

KVM: SVM: Update x2APIC MSR intercepts if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active
Always update x2APIC MSR intercepts for L1 when AVIC is deactivated, even
if L2 is active and KVM is using a separate MSR bitmap to run L2. If AVIC
is fully enabled prior to running L2, and is then inhibited while L2 is
active (for a VM-scoped inhibit), then KVM will run L1 with AVIC disabled,
but with x2APIC MSR intercepts disabled, i.e. will allow L1 to read most of
the host's APIC state, send arbitrary interrupts, change task priority, and
ultimately trivially DoS the host.
E.g. sending a self-IPI in L1 on HYPERV_REENLIGHTENMENT_VECTOR, 0xee, with
CONFIG_HYPERV=n in the host kernel as a "safe" PoC, yields:
Spurious interrupt (vector 0xee) on CPU#425. Acked
