2026-08-07vhost-net: wake queue of tun/tap after ptr_ring consumeSimon Schippers
Add tun_wake_queue() to tun.c and export it for use by vhost-net. The function validates that the file belongs to a device implemented by drivers/net/tun.c, in IFF_TUN as well as in IFF_TAP mode, and that the tfile exists, dereferences the tun_struct under RCU, and delegates to __tun_wake_queue(). vhost_net_buf_produce() now calls tun_wake_queue() after a successful batched consume of the ring to allow the netdev subqueue to be woken up. The point is to allow the queue to be stopped when it gets full, which is required for traffic shaping, implemented by the following "stop tail-drop when IFF_BACKPRESSURE is set". As __tun_wake_queue() returns early unless IFF_BACKPRESSURE is set, a tun/tap device that does not opt in only pays for the added check. macvtap and ipvtap rings, which get_tap_ptr_ring() accepts too, are unaffected: their producer is the tap_handle_frame() rx_handler and not ndo_start_xmit, so stopping a netdev TX queue would not hold it back. drivers/net/tap.c has no netdev_ops of its own either. No tap_wake_queue() is needed. cons_cnt and the wake decision are best-effort and are not reverted by ptr_ring_unconsume(), so vhost_net_buf_unproduce() can leave the subqueue woken over a full ring. The producer re-stops it on the next packet, and that path only runs from vhost_net_stop_vq() and vhost_net_set_backend(), when the consumer is going away, so a stopped queue is the correct end state rather than a stall.

2026-08-03vhost/vsock: add VHOST_RESET_OWNER ioctlPavel Tikhomirov
This ioctl is needed for QEMU's CPR (checkpoint-restore) migration of the guest with vhost-vsock device. For this to work, we need to reset the device ownership on the source side by calling RESET_OWNER, and then claim it on the dest side by calling SET_OWNER. We expect not to lose any AF_VSOCK connection while this happens. To that end, unlike the release path, RESET_OWNER keeps the guest CID hashed: established connections survive, and host sends issued while the device is between owners simply stay on send_pkt_queue until the next device start drains them. Since the device stays reachable through the CID hash, the lockless send/cancel paths can race with the worker teardown in vhost_workers_free(). The previous commit ("vhost: synchronize with RCU readers when freeing workers") makes that safe.

2026-08-03vhost: synchronize with RCU readers when freeing workersAndrey Drobyshev
vhost_vq_work_queue() only holds the RCU read lock while it dereferences vq->worker and queues work on it. vhost_workers_free() however clears the vq->worker pointers and immediately frees the workers, without waiting for a grace period. A caller that fetched the worker right before the pointer was cleared can therefore still be queueing work on it while it is freed. And even when the queueing itself wins the race, the work is never run, so its VHOST_WORK_QUEUED bit stays set and all future attempts to queue it are silently skipped. None of the current callers can actually hit this: net and scsi stop their virtqueues before the workers are freed, and vsock unhashes the device and does synchronize_rcu() of its own in vhost_vsock_dev_release() before the workers go away. But the upcoming VHOST_RESET_OWNER support in vhost-vsock keeps the device hashed while its workers are freed, so the lockless send/cancel paths become able to race with the teardown. Fix this by clearing the vq->worker pointers, waiting for a grace period, and then flushing the workers so any work the last readers queued runs before the workers are freed.

2026-08-03vhost/vsock: re-scan TX virtqueue on device startAndrey Drobyshev
During QEMU CPR live-update (and VHOST_RESET_OWNER in general) the guest keeps running while the host drops and later re-attaches vhost backends. If the guest adds a buffer to the TX virtqueue (guest->host) and kicks while the backend is temporarily NULL (between vhost_vsock_drop_backends() and the next vhost_vsock_start()), then the kick is delivered to the vhost worker, handle_tx_kick() sees a NULL backend and returns, and the kick signal is consumed. The buffer is then left in the ring. Then upon device start vhost_vsock_start() only re-kicks the RX send worker, never the TX VQ, so the buffer is processed only if the guest happens to kick again. But if the guest itself is now waiting for data from the host, it will never kick TX VQ again, and we end up in a deadlock. The issue itself is pre-existing, but it only manifests during a device pause caused by VHOST_RESET_OWNER. Namely, the deadlock is reproduced during active host->guest socat data transfer under multiple consecutive CPR live-update's. To fix this, in vhost_vsock_start(), after kicking the RX send worker, also queue the TX vq poll so any buffers the guest enqueued while we were paused get scanned. The VHOST_RESET_OWNER ioctl itself is implemented in the following patch, thus this patch is a preparation to support VHOST_RESET_OWNER.

2026-08-03vhost-scsi: reject feature changes after endpointJia Jia
vhost_scsi_setup_vq_cmds() runs from VHOST_SCSI_SET_ENDPOINT and allocates each command's protection scatterlist array (prot_sgl) according to the acknowledged VIRTIO_SCSI_F_T10_PI bit. The command pools are not rebuilt when VHOST_SET_FEATURES changes that bit later. Although virtio feature bits must not change after feature negotiation, vhost_scsi_set_features() currently accepts such a request after the endpoint is active and updates acked_features. Enabling T10-PI after endpoint setup therefore leaves prot_sgl NULL while the I/O path follows the new feature bit. For a 129-page protection payload, vhost_scsi_mapal() passes the missing first chunk to sg_alloc_table_chained(): sg_alloc_table_chained(table, 129, first_chunk=NULL, nents_first_chunk=inline_sg_cnt) sg_pool_index() then hits: BUG_ON(nents > SG_CHUNK_SIZE); /* 129 > 128 */ The kernel reported the following call trace and register state: Call Trace: <TASK> ? __sg_alloc_table+0x1d8/0x250 ? __pfx_vhost_run_work_list+0x10/0x10 [vhost] sg_alloc_table_chained+0x59/0xf0 ? __pfx_sg_pool_alloc+0x10/0x10 ? vhost_scsi_calc_sgls.constprop.0+0x43/0x60 [vhost_scsi] vhost_scsi_handle_vq+0xf02/0x1700 [vhost_scsi] ? __pfx_vhost_scsi_handle_vq+0x10/0x10 [vhost_scsi] vhost_scsi_handle_kick+0x37/0x50 [vhost_scsi] vhost_run_work_list+0x8e/0xd0 [vhost] vhost_task_fn+0xe1/0x210 ret_from_fork+0x348/0x540 </TASK> RIP: 0010:0x4 CR2 = 0x4 RSP: 0018:ffffc90000dbf940 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: ffffffff82396810 RBX: ffff88811dc28b80 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000820 RDI: 0000000000000081 VHOST_F_LOG_ALL is a vhost-specific runtime feature and remains the only exception.

2026-08-03vhost/vsock: suppress EHOSTUNREACH fast-fail during CPR pauseAndrey Drobyshev
Earlier commit bb26ed5f3a8b ("vhost/vsock: Refuse the connection immediately when guest isn't ready") added a fast-fail in vhost_transport_send_pkt(). It rejects every host send with -EHOSTUNREACH until the destination calls SET_RUNNING(1). The fast-fail condition checks whether device's backends are dropped, and if they're, the guest is considered to be not ready. However, there might be other reasons for backends to be nulled. In particular, when QEMU is performing CPR (checkpoint-restore) migration, device ownership is being RESET and SET again, which leads to backends drop and reattach. If we end up connecting during this window, an AF_VSOCK client gets -EHOSTUNREACH, which is wrong. Add an 'ever_started' flag which is set once in vhost_vsock_start() and is never cleared. The behaviour changes to: * When device was never started -> flag is unset -> no listener can exist yet -> fast-fail; * Once the device starts -> flag is set -> we don't fast-fail -> we queue and preserve during any later stop / CPR pause. The VHOST_RESET_OWNER ioctl is implemented in a following patch, and without RESET_OWNER the problem we fix here isn't manifesting - thus this patch is a preparation to support RESET_OWNER. Important caveat: after the first start, a connect during any stopped window is queued instead of fast-failed. That was the behaviour before the patch bb26ed5f3a8b, and we're restoring it now. However we still keep the behaviour originally intended by that commit (i.e. fast-fail if there's no real listener yet) while fixing the CPR path.

2026-08-03vhost-scsi: flush backend after device ioctlsJia Jia
vhost-scsi translates guest response descriptors into userspace iovecs when commands are submitted. Target-core completes those commands asynchronously, so VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE can replace the memory table while an in-flight command still retains response iovecs translated through the old table. If the old mapping is reused after VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE returns, command completion can write the response to an unrelated userspace object. Flush the vhost-scsi backend after vhost_dev_ioctl() handles a device ioctl. This waits for in-flight commands that can still use the old response iovecs before the ioctl returns.

2026-08-03vhost: reset the vring metadata cache on vring reconfigurationJun Yang
vq->meta_iotlb[] caches the vhost_iotlb_map that backs each vring metadata region, and iotlb_access_ok() returns early on a cache hit, taking the hit as proof that the region has already been validated: if (vhost_vq_meta_fetch(vq, addr, len, type)) return true; The cache is reset on VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE and VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE, on device IOTLB (re)initialisation and on vq reset, but not when VHOST_SET_VRING_ADDR replaces vq->desc, vq->avail and vq->used, nor when VHOST_SET_VRING_NUM changes the region sizes. With a device IOTLB attached both ioctls are accepted while the vq is live, and neither validates the addresses at ioctl time: vq_access_ok() and vq_log_used_access_ok() return true early because the addresses are GIOVAs, deferring validation to prefetch time. Once the cache has been populated that deferred validation no longer runs -- vq_meta_prefetch() hits the stale entry and returns true -- and vhost_vq_meta_fetch() keeps translating through the old mapping as map->addr + addr - map->start for an address the mapping no longer covers. vhost_copy_to_user() and vhost_copy_from_user() consume the result with __copy_to_user() and __copy_from_user(), which do not check it either, so a subsequent used ring update or descriptor fetch accesses memory outside the region the IOTLB actually maps. Reset the metadata cache whenever the vring is reconfigured, so the new addresses are pushed back through iotlb_access_ok()'s slow path.

2026-08-03virtio_balloon: prime stats vq after virtio_device_ready()Michael S. Tsirkin
The virtio spec requires the driver not to kick the device before DRIVER_OK is set. init_vqs() primes the stats virtqueue with a buffer and kicks the device before virtio_device_ready() is called in virtballoon_probe(), violating this requirement. Further, if the device responds to the early kick by processing the buffer before DRIVER_OK, stats_request() fires and queues update_balloon_stats_work. Should probe then fail and free vb, the work runs against freed memory. To fix, move buffer setup to after DRIVER_OK. Be careful to disable update_balloon_stats_work while this is going on, to make sure it does not race with the setup. setup_vqs() warns but does not fail probe or restore if virtqueue_add_outbuf() fails; the call never actually fails in these contexts since the queue is freshly initialized and empty. Testing: tested that stats still work after the change.

2026-08-03vhost_iotlb: bound map allocation in add_rangeLinfeng Sun 
vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() only retires an old entry when the table has a non-zero limit, has exactly reached that limit and has VHOST_IOTLB_FLAG_RETIRE set. Non-retiring tables can keep allocating entries after reaching their configured limit. Existing vhost devices allocate their IOTLB with max_iotlb_entries from vhost.c, which defaults to 2048 and is tunable by module parameter. Use the caller-provided limit at the allocation point instead of adding a separate default in the common IOTLB helper, and reject non-positive values in vhost paths that can report an error. Other vhost IOTLB users should not create zero-limit tables when entries can be populated from userspace or guest-controlled requests. Add caller-side max_iotlb_entries parameters for mlx5 vDPA, VDUSE and vhost-vDPA. Reject non-positive VDUSE and vhost-vDPA values, and require at least two entries for vdpa_sim and mlx5 vDPA paths that install full-range mappings, since those mappings are split into two IOTLB entries. Handle full-range mappings in the common helper by checking that the IOTLB can hold both split entries before inserting the first half. This avoids returning an error after leaving a half mapping behind. When the table is full, keep the existing retire behavior for retiring tables and return -ENOSPC for non-retiring tables. Reuse the retired map node instead of freeing it and allocating a replacement, so a stream of IOTLB updates cannot keep forcing GFP_ATOMIC allocations after the table has reached its limit. If a zero-limit IOTLB still reaches the common helper, treat it as a configuration error and return -EINVAL. I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.

2026-07-21vhost-net: fix TX stall when vhost owns virtio-net headerEnrico Zanda
When vhost owns the virtio-net header, i.e. when VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR is negotiated, sock_hlen is 0, meaning that no header will be forwarded to the TAP device. In the current vhost_net_build_xdp() implementation, when sock_hlen == 0, the gso pointer can point at the start of the Ethernet frame instead of a virtio-net header. This results in a wrong interpretation of the destination MAC address bytes as struct virtio_net_hdr fields. This can, for some MAC addresses, trigger -EINVAL and return early before the TX descriptor is completed, which can stall vhost-net TX. Before 97b2409f28e0, the gso pointer was set to the zeroed padding area, using it as a synthetic virtio-net header. Restore that behavior.

2026-06-10vhost/net: complete zerocopy ubufs only onceQing Ming
vhost-net initializes one ubuf_info per outstanding zerocopy TX descriptor and hands it to the backend socket. The networking stack may then clone a zerocopy skb before all skb references are released. For example, batman-adv fragmentation reaches skb_split(), which calls skb_zerocopy_clone() and increments the same ubuf_info refcount. vhost_zerocopy_complete() currently treats every ubuf callback as a completed vhost descriptor. It dereferences ubuf->ctx, writes the descriptor completion state, and drops the vhost_net_ubuf_ref even when the callback only releases a cloned skb reference. A backend reset can therefore wait for and free the vhost_net_ubuf_ref while another cloned skb still carries the same ubuf_info. A later completion then dereferences the freed ubufs pointer. KASAN reports the stale completion as: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in vhost_zerocopy_complete+0x1d7/0x1f0 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in vhost_zerocopy_complete+0x101/0x1f0 vhost_zerocopy_complete skb_copy_ubufs __dev_forward_skb2 veth_xmit The freed object was allocated from vhost_net_ioctl() while setting the backend and freed through kfree_rcu()/kvfree_rcu_bulk after backend removal, while delayed skb completion still reached vhost_zerocopy_complete(). Honor the generic ubuf_info refcount before touching vhost state, and run the vhost descriptor completion only for the final ubuf reference. This matches the msg_zerocopy_complete() ownership rule for cloned zerocopy skbs.

2026-06-10vhost/vdpa: validate virtqueue index in mmap and fault pathsQihang Tang
vhost_vdpa_mmap() and vhost_vdpa_fault() use vma->vm_pgoff as a virtqueue index for get_vq_notification(), but they do not validate that the index is smaller than v->nvqs. The ioctl path already performs both a bounds check and array_index_nospec(), but the mmap/fault path only checks that the index fits in u16. This allows an out-of-range queue index to reach driver-specific get_vq_notification() callbacks. Fix this by extracting a unified vhost_vdpa_get_vq_notification() helper that validates the queue index against v->nvqs and applies array_index_nospec() before calling the driver callback. Both the mmap and fault paths use this helper, and the bounds checking is consolidated into a single location. From source inspection, the most defensible impact is out-of-bounds access in the callback path, potentially leading to invalid PFN remaps and crash/DoS.

2026-06-10vhost/vsock: Refuse the connection immediately when guest isn't readyDenis V. Lunev
When the host initiates an AF_VSOCK connect() to a guest that has not yet loaded the virtio-vsock transport (i.e. still booting), the caller blocks for VSOCK_DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT. A caller that wants to know if the guest is up yet instead of waiting could theoretically tune SO_VM_SOCKETS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, but it's tricky to find the right timeout, if not impossible: there's no way to distinguish "guest won't reply because it's not up yet" vs "guest is up and tried to reply, but was too slow". Furthermore, this delay is pointless: - If the guest doesn't initialize within this timeout, connect() returns ETIMEDOUT. - If the guest **does** initialize, it'll reply with RST immediately, because there won't be a listener on the port yet; connect() returns ECONNRESET. That's also inconsistent with the behavior at other initialization stages: if a connection is attempted when the guest driver is already loaded, but nothing is listening yet, we return ECONNRESET immediately without waiting. Fix this by checking the RX virtqueue backend in vhost_transport_send_pkt() before queuing. If it's NULL, return -EHOSTUNREACH immediately. Callers that used to get ETIMEDOUT will now usually get EHOSTUNREACH. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

2026-06-04vhost: fix vhost_get_avail_idx for a non empty ringMichael S. Tsirkin
vhost_get_avail_idx is supposed to report whether it has updated vq->avail_idx. Instead, it returns whether all entries have been consumed, which is usually the same. But not always - in drivers/vhost/net.c and when mergeable buffers have been enabled, the driver checks whether the combined entries are big enough to store an incoming packet. If not, the driver re-enables notifications with available entries still in the ring. The incorrect return value from vhost_get_avail_idx propagates through vhost_enable_notify and causes the host to livelock if the guest is not making progress, as vhost will immediately disable notifications and retry using the available entries. This goes back to commit d3bb267bbdcb ("vhost: cache avail index in vhost_enable_notify()") which changed vhost_enable_notify() to compare the freshly read avail index against vq->last_avail_idx instead of the previously cached vq->avail_idx. Commit 7ad472397667 ("vhost: move smp_rmb() into vhost_get_avail_idx()") then carried over the same comparison when refactoring vhost_enable_notify() to call the unified vhost_get_avail_idx(). The obvious fix is to make vhost_get_avail_idx do what the comment says it does and report whether new entries have been added.

2026-05-13vhost-net: wake queue of tun/tap after ptr_ring consumeSimon Schippers
Add tun_wake_queue() to tun.c and export it for use by vhost-net. The function validates that the file belongs to a tun/tap device and that the tfile exists, dereferences the tun_struct under RCU, and delegates to __tun_wake_queue(). vhost_net_buf_produce() now calls tun_wake_queue() after a successful batched consume of the ring to allow the netdev subqueue to be woken up. The point is to allow the queue to be stopped when it gets full, which is required for traffic shaping - implemented by the following "avoid ptr_ring tail-drop when a qdisc is present". Without the corresponding queue stopping, this patch alone causes no throughput regression for a tap+vhost-net setup sending to a qemu VM: 3.857 Mpps to 3.891 Mpps.

2026-03-12vsock: add G2H fallback for CIDs not owned by H2G transportAlexander Graf
When no H2G transport is loaded, vsock currently routes all CIDs to the G2H transport (commit 65b422d9b61b ("vsock: forward all packets to the host when no H2G is registered"). Extend that existing behavior: when an H2G transport is loaded but does not claim a given CID, the connection falls back to G2H in the same way. This matters in environments like Nitro Enclaves, where an instance may run nested VMs via vhost-vsock (H2G) while also needing to reach sibling enclaves at higher CIDs through virtio-vsock-pci (G2H). With the old code, any CID > 2 was unconditionally routed to H2G when vhost was loaded, making those enclaves unreachable without setting VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST explicitly on every connect. Requiring every application to set VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST creates friction: tools like socat, iperf, and others would all need to learn about it. The flag was introduced 6 years ago and I am still not aware of any tool that supports it. Even if there was support, it would be cumbersome to use. The most natural experience is a single CID address space where H2G only wins for CIDs it actually owns, and everything else falls through to G2H, extending the behavior that already exists when H2G is absent. To give user space at least a hint that the kernel applied this logic, automatically set the VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST on the remote address so it can determine the path taken via getpeername(). Add a per-network namespace sysctl net.vsock.g2h_fallback (default 1). At 0 it forces strict routing: H2G always wins for CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST, or ENODEV if H2G is not loaded.

2026-02-04vhost: fix caching attributes of MMIO regions by setting them explicitlyKommula Shiva Shankar
Explicitly set non-cached caching attributes for MMIO regions. Default write-back mode can cause CPU to cache device memory, causing invalid reads and unpredictable behavior. Invalid read and write issues were observed on ARM64 when mapping the notification area to userspace via mmap.

Remove duplication by consolidating these here. This reduces the posibility of a parent driver missing them. While we're at it, fix a bug in vdpa_sim where a valid ASID can be assigned to a group equal to ngroups, causing an out of bound write.

2026-01-27vsock: add netns support to virtio transportsBobby Eshleman
Add netns support to loopback and vhost. Keep netns disabled for virtio-vsock, but add necessary changes to comply with common API updates. This is the patch in the series when vhost-vsock namespaces actually come online.

2026-01-27vsock: add netns to vsock coreBobby Eshleman
Add netns logic to vsock core. Additionally, modify transport hook prototypes to be used by later transport-specific patches (e.g., *_seqpacket_allow()). Namespaces are supported primarily by changing socket lookup functions (e.g., vsock_find_connected_socket()) to take into account the socket namespace and the namespace mode before considering a candidate socket a "match". This patch also introduces the sysctl /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode to report the mode and /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode to set the mode for new namespaces. Add netns functionality (initialization, passing to transports, procfs, etc...) to the af_vsock socket layer. Later patches that add netns support to transports depend on this patch. This patch changes the allocation of random ports for connectible vsocks in order to avoid leaking the random port range starting point to other namespaces. dgram_allow(), stream_allow(), and seqpacket_allow() callbacks are modified to take a vsk in order to perform logic on namespace modes. In future patches, the net will also be used for socket lookups in these functions.

2025-12-26vhost: use "checked" versions of get_user() and put_user()Jon Kohler
vhost_get_user and vhost_put_user leverage __get_user and __put_user, respectively, which were both added in 2016 by commit 6b1e6cc7855b ("vhost: new device IOTLB API"). In a heavy UDP transmit workload on a vhost-net backed tap device, these functions showed up as ~11.6% of samples in a flamegraph of the underlying vhost worker thread. Quoting Linus from [1]: Anyway, every single __get_user() call I looked at looked like historical garbage. [...] End result: I get the feeling that we should just do a global search-and-replace of the __get_user/ __put_user users, replace them with plain get_user/put_user instead, and then fix up any fallout (eg the coco code). Switch to plain get_user/put_user in vhost, which results in a slight throughput speedup. get_user now about ~8.4% of samples in flamegraph. Basic iperf3 test on a Intel 5416S CPU with Ubuntu 25.10 guest: TX: taskset -c 2 iperf3 -c <rx_ip> -t 60 -p 5200 -b 0 -u -i 5 RX: taskset -c 2 iperf3 -s -p 5200 -D Before: 6.08 Gbits/sec After: 6.32 Gbits/sec As to what drives the speedup, Sean's patch [2] explains: Use the normal, checked versions for get_user() and put_user() instead of the double-underscore versions that omit range checks, as the checked versions are actually measurably faster on modern CPUs (12%+ on Intel, 25%+ on AMD). The performance hit on the unchecked versions is almost entirely due to the added LFENCE on CPUs where LFENCE is serializing (which is effectively all modern CPUs), which was added by commit 304ec1b05031 ("x86/uaccess: Use __uaccess_begin_nospec() and uaccess_try_nospec"). The small optimizations done by commit b19b74bc99b1 ("x86/mm: Rework address range check in get_user() and put_user()") likely shave a few cycles off, but the bulk of the extra latency comes from the LFENCE.
