netlink: specs: rt-link: add force-forwarding

2026-09-01T13:22:05+00:00

Add missing enum member force-forwarding to ipv6-devconf. In commit f24987ef6959 ("ipv6: add `force_forwarding` sysctl to enable per-interface forwarding"), the DEVCONF_* enum was extended with DEVCONF_FORCE_FORWARDING, however Gabriel forgot to add it to the spec. This pre-existing issue was detected by Sashiko, when reviewing the first patch in this series.

netlink: specs: rt-link: add accept-ra-min-lft

2026-09-01T13:22:05+00:00

Add missing enum member accept-ra-min-lft to ipv6-devconf. In commit 1671bcfd76fd ("net: add sysctl accept_ra_min_rtr_lft") the DEVCONF_* enum was extended with DEVCONF_ACCEPT_RA_MIN_RTR_LFT. It was renamed to DEVCONF_ACCEPT_RA_MIN_LFT in commit 5027d54a9c30 ("net: change accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to affect all RA lifetimes"). Shortly thereafter, this spec was introduced in commit b2f63d904e72 ("doc/netlink: Add spec for rt link messages"). This pre-existing issue was detected by Sashiko, when reviewing the first patch in this series.

netlink: specs: rt-link: update ipv6 devconf doc

2026-09-01T13:22:05+00:00

devconf is even odder than described in commit 720447bd0b24 ("netlink: specs: rt-link: remove implicit structs from devconf"), where both IPv4 and IPv6 are described in an identical way: "u32 indexed by ipv?-devconf - 1 on output, on input it's a nest". There are two issues with that line for IPv6: 1) The subtraction is an IPv4 specific quirk, to avoid having an unused u32 at index 0, thus saving 4 bytes per net device being dumped: - In include/uapi/linux/ip.h the IPV4_DEVCONF_* enum begins with IPV4_DEVCONF_FORWARDING = 1, so the enum starts at 1, which is the reason for the subtraction in the IPv4 variant. - In include/uapi/linux/ipv6.h the DEVCONF_* enum begins with DEVCONF_FORWARDING = 0, so subtraction would underflow. - ipv6_store_devconf() in net/ipv6/addrconf.c also doesn't do the subtraction in the output path. 2) Setting IPv6 devconf through Netlink is not yet supported, as IFLA_INET6_CONF is not handled in inet6_set_link_af().

netlink: specs: add missing mask attributes for conntrack dump

2026-08-28T22:34:51+00:00

'mark-mask' and 'status-mask' are defined and supported by the conntrack dump, but missing from the list of arguments. While at it, the order of the arguments should follow the order of their definition in the enum ctattr_type. That appears to be a common convention for other spec files.

netlink: specs: fix the conntrack filter type

2026-08-28T22:34:51+00:00

The CTA_FILTER doesn't contain nested tuple attributes, instead it contains bit masks that specify which tuple attributes to filter on. The values for filtering are taken from the top-level CTA_TUPLE_ORIG and CTA_TUPLE_REPLY, which are also missing in the attribute list for the dump request. The bits themselves somehow are not in the public headers, so not defining them in the spec either for now. Once they are public in uAPI, they can be added here with enum-as-flags.

drm/ras: Introduce error threshold

2026-08-28T16:35:23+00:00

Add get-error-threshold and set-error-threshold command support which allows querying/setting error threshold of the counter. Threshold in RAS context means the number of errors the hardware is expected to accumulate before it raises them to software. This is to have a fine grained control over error notifications that are raised by the hardware.

Merge tag 'nfsd-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux

2026-08-20T19:39:56+00:00

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: - CB_NOTIFY support for NFSD's NFSv4.1 directory delegations The server used to recall a delegation as soon as the directory changed. NFSD now watches delegated directories through fsnotify and reports adds, removes, renames, and directory attribute changes, carrying the filehandle and attributes of the affected entry, so clients can keep their caches. Some of the NOTIFY4 flags come from RFC 8881bis (Jeff Layton) - Continued netlink work A new server-stats-get operation reports what /proc/net/rpc/nfsd publishes, plus NFSv4 callback counts, and SUNRPC now keeps its per-procedure call counts per network namespace, so a container sees its own numbers. nfsstat reads all of this over netlink, with a procfs fallback for older kernels (Jeff Layton) - Remove SUNRPC service thread pool mode selection Per node is the right choice on any host we run today, so the auto, global, and percpu modes have been removed. A single-node host still gets one pool. A multi-NUMA host now gets a pool per node. sunrpc.pool_mode accepts the old names but no longer selects anything. - Bug fixes, clean-ups, and small optimizations: - async COPY offload rework (Jeff Layton) - more use-after-free fixes in the NFSv4 state revocation paths - percpu counter contention removed from the reply cache and IO accounting - a long list of hardening fixes (Chris Mason) Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.3 NFSD development cycle. * tag 'nfsd-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (182 commits) nfsd: export NFSv4 callback op stats via netlink nfsd: count NFSv4 callback operations per netns sunrpc: remove unused svc_version vs_count field nfsd: implement server-stats-get netlink handler sunrpc: use per-net counts in svc_seq_show() sunrpc: add per-netns per-procedure call counts to svc_stat NFSD: Document reply_cache_stats ABI NFSD: Eliminate percpu counter contention in IO byte accounting NFSD: Eliminate percpu counter contention in reply cache statistics NFSD: Eliminate percpu counter contention in DRC memory accounting NFSD: Fix off-by-one in DRC bucket pruning limit NFSD: Relocate NFSv4 "supported attributes" to new header NFSD: Relocate nfsd4_set_netaddr() NFSD: Relocate nfsd_user_namespace() NFSD: Move struct readdir_cd NFSD: Move the export.h include from nfsd.h to auth.c NFSD: Remove '#include "nfsd.h"' from fs/nfsd/cache.h NFSD: include "netns.h" NFSD: Explicitly include "stats.h" NFSD: Make "stats.h" self-contained ...
