ipv4: Retire UDP-Lite.

2026-03-14T01:57:44+00:00

We have deprecated IPv6 UDP-Lite sockets. Let's drop support for IPv4 UDP-Lite sockets as well. Most of the changes are similar to the IPv6 patch: removing udplite.c and udp_impl.h, marking most functions in udp_impl.h as static, moving the prototype for udp_recvmsg() to udp.h, and adding INDIRECT_CALLABLE_SCOPE for it. In addition, the INET_DIAG support for UDP-Lite is dropped. We will remove the remaining dead code in the following patches.

udp: Make udp[46]_seq_show() static.

2026-03-14T01:57:44+00:00

Since commit a3d2599b2446 ("ipv{4,6}/udp{,lite}: simplify proc registration"), udp4_seq_show() and udp6_seq_show() are not used in net/ipv4/udplite.c and net/ipv6/udplite.c. Instead, udp_seq_ops and udp6_seq_ops are exposed to UDP-Lite. Let's make udp4_seq_show() and udp6_seq_show() static. udp_seq_ops and udp6_seq_ops are moved to udp_impl.h so that we can make them static when the header is removed.

net: remove addr_len argument of recvmsg() handlers

2026-03-03T02:17:17+00:00

Use msg->msg_namelen as a place holder instead of a temporary variable, notably in inet[6]_recvmsg().

____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute only makes sure to align a field to a cache line. It does not prevent the linker to use the remaining of the cache line for other variables, causing potential false sharing.

net: remove noblock parameter from recvmsg() entities

2022-04-12T13:00:25+00:00

The internal recvmsg() functions have two parameters 'flags' and 'noblock' that were merged inside skb_recv_datagram(). As a follow up patch to commit f4b41f062c42 ("net: remove noblock parameter from skb_recv_datagram()") this patch removes the separate 'noblock' parameter for recvmsg(). Analogue to the referenced patch for skb_recv_datagram() the 'flags' and 'noblock' parameters are unnecessarily split up with e.g. err = sk->sk_prot->recvmsg(sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); or in err = INDIRECT_CALL_2(sk->sk_prot->recvmsg, tcp_recvmsg, udp_recvmsg, sk, msg, size, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, &addr_len); instead of simply using only flags all the time and check for MSG_DONTWAIT where needed (to preserve for the formerly separated no(n)block condition).

udp: add missing rehash callback to udplite

2019-01-17T23:01:08+00:00

After commit 4cdeeee9252a ("net: udp: prefer listeners bound to an address"), UDP-Lite only works when specifying a local address for the sockets. This is related to the problem addressed in the commit 719f835853a9 ("udp: add rehash on connect()"). Moreover, __udp4_lib_lookup() now looks for a socket immediately in the secondary hash table. The issue was found with LTP/network tests (UDP-Lite test-cases).

net: Convert protocol error handlers from void to int

2018-11-09T01:13:08+00:00

We'll need this to handle ICMP errors for tunnels without a sending socket (i.e. FoU and GUE). There, we might have to look up different types of IP tunnels, registered as network protocols, before we get a match, so we want this for the error handlers of IPPROTO_IPIP and IPPROTO_IPV6 in both inet_protos and inet6_protos. These error codes will be used in the next patch. For consistency, return sensible error codes in protocol error handlers whenever handlers can't handle errors because, even if valid, they don't match a protocol or any of its states. This has no effect on existing error handling paths. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio Reviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
