2026-05-02net: tls: fix silent data drop under pipe back-pressureJakub Kicinski
tls_sw_splice_read() uses len when advancing rxm->offset / rxm->full_len after skb_splice_bits(), rather than copied (the actual number of bytes successfully spliced into the pipe). When the destination pipe cannot accept all the requested bytes, splice_to_pipe() returns fewer bytes than len, and 'len - copied' of data is effectively skipped over.

2026-05-02batman-adv: stop tp_meter sessions during mesh teardownJiexun Wang
TP meter sessions remain linked on bat_priv->tp_list after the netlink request has already finished. When the mesh interface is removed, batadv_mesh_free() currently tears down the mesh without first draining these sessions. A running sender thread or a late incoming tp_meter packet can then keep processing against a mesh instance which is already shutting down. Synchronize tp_meter with the mesh lifetime by stopping all active sessions from batadv_mesh_free() and waiting for sender threads to exit before teardown continues.

2026-05-02ip6_gre: Use cached t->net in ip6erspan_changelink().Maoyi Xie
After commit 5e72ce3e3980 ("net: ipv6: Use link netns in newlink() of rtnl_link_ops"), ip6erspan_newlink() correctly resolves the per-netns ip6gre hash via link_net. ip6erspan_changelink() was not converted in that series and still uses dev_net(dev), which diverges from the device's creation netns after IFLA_NET_NS_FD migration. This re-inserts the tunnel into the wrong per-netns hash. The original netns keeps a stale entry. When that netns is later destroyed, ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net() walks the stale entry, producing a slab-use-after-free reported by KASAN, followed by a kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c (LIST_POISON1) in unregister_netdevice_many_notify(). Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace (unshare --user --map-root-user --net). ip6gre_changelink() earlier in the same file already uses the cached t->net; only ip6erspan_changelink() has the wrong shape.

Note: if there wasnt a gso_skb entry then qfq will store it there. 1b. invoke a dequeue() on the child (sfb). And herein lies the problem. - sfb will call the child's dequeue() which will essentially just try to grab something of qfq's queue.

2026-05-01ipv6: update route serial number on NETDEV_CHANGESagarika Sharma
When using IPv6 ECMP routes, if a netdev listed as a nexthop experiences a carrier change event (e.g., a bond device generating a NETDEV_CHANGE event after its slaves go linkdown), established connections utilizing that nexthop fail to fail over to other available nexthops. Instead, these connections stall or drop. This happens because the IPv6 FIB code does not invalidate the socket's cached destination when a NETDEV_CHANGE event occurs. While fib6_ifdown() correctly marks the nexthop with RTNH_F_LINKDOWN, it leaves the route's serial number unchanged. As a result, sockets with a previously cached dst do not realize the route is no longer viable and continue to try using the non-functional nexthop. This behavior contrasts with IPv4, which actively flushes cached destinations on a NETDEV_CHANGE event (see fib_netdev_event() in net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c). Fix this by updating the route serial number in fib6_ifdown() when setting RTNH_F_LINKDOWN. This invalidates stale cached destinations, forcing sockets to perform a new route lookup and fail over to a functioning nexthop.

2026-05-01net: rtnetlink: zero ifla_vf_broadcast to avoid stack infoleak in ↵Kai Zen
rtnl_fill_vfinfo rtnl_fill_vfinfo() declares struct ifla_vf_broadcast on the stack without initialisation: struct ifla_vf_broadcast vf_broadcast; The struct contains a single fixed 32-byte field: /* include/uapi/linux/if_link.h */ struct ifla_vf_broadcast { __u8 broadcast[32]; }; The function then copies dev->broadcast into it using dev->addr_len as the length: memcpy(vf_broadcast.broadcast, dev->broadcast, dev->addr_len); On Ethernet devices (the overwhelming majority of SR-IOV NICs) dev->addr_len is 6, so only the first 6 bytes of broadcast[] are written. The remaining 26 bytes retain whatever was previously on the kernel stack. The full struct is then handed to userspace via: nla_put(skb, IFLA_VF_BROADCAST, sizeof(vf_broadcast), &vf_broadcast) leaking up to 26 bytes of uninitialised kernel stack per VF per RTM_GETLINK request, repeatable. The other vf_* structs in the same function are explicitly zeroed for exactly this reason - see the memset() calls for ivi, vf_vlan_info, node_guid and port_guid a few lines above. vf_broadcast was simply missed when it was added.

Then, update nft_compat to use .check_hooks from .validate path, this fixes a lack of hook validation for several match/targets. 5) Fix incorrect .usersize in xt_CT, from Florian Westphal. 6) Fix a memleak with netdev tables in dormant state, from Florian Westphal. 7) Several patches to check if the packet is a fragment, then skip layer 4 inspection, for x_tables and nf_tables; as well as common nf_socket infrastructure. The xt_hashlimit match drops fragments to stay consistent with the existing approach when failing to parse the layer 4 protocol header. 8) Ensure sufficient headroom in the flowtable before transmitting the skb. 9) Fix the flowtable inline vlan approach for double-tagged vlan: Reverse the iteration over .encap[] since it represents the encapsulation as seen from the ingress path. Postpone pushing layer 2 header so output device is available to calculate needed headroom. Finally, add and use nf_flow_vlan_push() to fix it. 10) Fix flowtable inline pppoe with GSO packets. Moreover, use FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT to fill up destination hardware address since neighbour cache does not exist in pppoe. 11) Use skb_pull_rcsum() to decapsulate vlan and pppoe headers, for double-tagged vlan in particular this should provide some benefits in certain scenarios. More notes regarding 9-11): - sashiko is also signalling to use it for IPIP headers, but that needs more adjustments such setting skb->protocol after removing the IPIP header, will follow up in a separated patch. - I plan to submit selftests to cover double-tagged-vlan.

2026-04-30bridge: Do not suppress ARP probes and DAD NS unconditionallyDanielle Ratson
When neighbor suppression is enabled on a VXLAN port, the bridge is expected to reply to ARP/NS messages on behalf of remote hosts when both FDB and neighbor entries exist. This allows the bridge to suppress flooding of these messages to the VXLAN overlay. According to RFC 9161 ("Operational Aspects of Proxy ARP/ND in Ethernet Virtual Private Networks"): "A PE SHOULD reply to broadcast/multicast address resolution messages, i.e., ARP Requests, ARP probes, NS messages, as well as DAD NS messages. An ARP probe is an ARP Request constructed with an all-zero sender IP address that may be used by hosts for IPv4 Address Conflict Detection as specified in [RFC5227]". However, the current implementation unconditionally suppresses ARP probes and DAD Neighbor Solicitations, which breaks Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) over EVPN. For DAD to work correctly over the VXLAN fabric: - When the bridge does not know the answer: flood the probe/DAD packet to allow remote VTEPs to respond. - When the bridge knows the answer: reply to indicate the address is in use. Fix by adjusting the early suppression checks to exclude ARP probes and DAD NS from unconditional suppression. When replying to a DAD NS, br_nd_send() is adjusted to set the NA destination to the all-nodes multicast address (ff02::1) and clear the Solicited flag, in accordance with RFC 4861 section 7.2.4.

2026-04-30net/smc: cap allocation order for SMC-R physically contiguous buffersD. Wythe
The alloc_pages() cannot satisfy requests exceeding MAX_PAGE_ORDER, and attempting such allocations will lead to guaranteed failures and potential kernel warnings. For SMCR_PHYS_CONT_BUFS, cap the allocation order to MAX_PAGE_ORDER. This ensures the attempts to allocate the largest possible physically contiguous chunk succeed, instead of failing with an invalid order. This also avoids redundant "try-fail-degrade" cycles in __smc_buf_create(). For SMCR_MIXED_BUFS, no cap is needed: if the order exceeds MAX_PAGE_ORDER, alloc_pages() will silently fail (__GFP_NOWARN) and automatically fall back to virtual memory. Signed-off-by: D.

2026-04-30ipv6: Implement limits on extension header parsingDaniel Borkmann
ipv6_{skip_exthdr,find_hdr}() and ip6_{tnl_parse_tlv_enc_lim, protocol_deliver_rcu}() iterate over IPv6 extension headers until they find a non-extension-header protocol or run out of packet data. The loops have no iteration counter, relying solely on the packet length to bound them. For a crafted packet with 8-byte extension headers filling a 64KB jumbogram, this means a worst case of up to ~8k iterations with a skb_header_pointer call each. ipv6_skip_exthdr(), for example, is used where it parses the inner quoted packet inside an incoming ICMPv6 error: - icmpv6_rcv - checksum validation - case ICMPV6_DEST_UNREACH - icmpv6_notify - pskb_may_pull() <- pull inner IPv6 header - ipv6_skip_exthdr() <- iterates here - pskb_may_pull() - ipprot->err_handler() <- sk lookup The per-iteration cost of ipv6_skip_exthdr itself is generally light, but skb_header_pointer becomes more costly on reassembled packets: the first ~1232 bytes of the inner packet are in the skb's linear area, but the remaining ~63KB are in the frag_list where skb_copy_bits is needed to read data. Initially, the idea was to add a configurable limit via a new sysctl knob with default 8, in line with knobs from commit 47d3d7ac656a ("ipv6: Implement limits on Hop-by-Hop and Destination options"), but two reasons eventually argued against it: - It adds to UAPI that needs to be maintained forever, and upcoming work is restricting extension header ordering anyway, leaving little reason for another sysctl knob - exthdrs_core.c is always built-in even when CONFIG_IPV6=n, where struct net has no .ipv6 member, so the read site would need an ifdef'd fallback to a constant anyway Therefore, just use a constant (IP6_MAX_EXT_HDRS_CNT). All four extension header walking functions are now bound by this limit. Note that the check in ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu() happens right before the goto resubmit, such that we don't have to have a test for ipv6_ext_hdr() in the fast-path. There's an ongoing IETF draft-iurman-6man-eh-occurrences to enforce IPv6 extension headers ordering and occurrence. The latter also discusses security implications. As per RFC8200 section 4.1, the occurrence rules for extension headers provide a practical upper bound which is 8. In order to be conservative, let's define IP6_MAX_EXT_HDRS_CNT as 12 to leave enough room for quirky setups. In the unlikely event that this is still not enough, then we might need to reconsider a sysctl.

Multiple targets and matches relies on L4 header to operate. For fragmented packets, every fragment carries the transport protocol identifier, but only the first fragment contains the L4 header. As the 'raw' table can be configured to run at priority -450 (before defragmentation at -400), the target/match can be reached before reassembly. In this case, non-first fragments have their payload incorrectly parsed as a TCP/UDP header. This would be of course a misconfiguration scenario. In most of the cases this just lead to a unreliable behavior for fragmented traffic. Add a fragment check to ensure target/match only evaluates unfragmented packets or the first fragment in the stream.

The tproxy, osf and exthdr (SCTP) expressions rely on the presence of transport layer headers to perform socket lookups, fingerprint matching, or chunk extraction. For fragmented packets, while the IP protocol remains constant across all fragments, only the first fragment contains the actual L4 header. The expressions could be attached to a chain with a priority lower than -400, bypassing defragmentation. Or could be used in stateless environments where defragmentation is not happening at all. This could result in garbage data being used for the matching. Add a check for pkt->fragoff so only unfragmented packets or the first fragment is processed.

When tls_set_device_offload_rx() fails at tls_dev_add(), the error path calls tls_sw_free_resources_rx() to clean up the SW context that was initialized by tls_set_sw_offload(). This function calls tls_sw_release_resources_rx() (which stops the strparser via tls_strp_stop()) and tls_sw_free_ctx_rx() (which kfrees the context), but never frees the anchor skb that was allocated by alloc_skb(0) in tls_strp_init(). Note that tls_sw_free_resources_rx() is exclusively used for this "failed to start offload" code path, there's no other caller. The leak did not exist before commit 84c61fe1a75b ("tls: rx: do not use the standard strparser"), because the standard strparser doesn't try to pre-allocate an skb. The normal close path in tls_sk_proto_close() handles cleanup by calling tls_sw_strparser_done() (which calls tls_strp_done()) after dropping the socket lock, because tls_strp_done() does cancel_work_sync() and the strparser work handler takes the socket lock.

tcp_sigpool is no longer used. It existed only as a workaround for issues in the design of the crypto_ahash API, which have been avoided by switching to the much easier-to-use library APIs instead. Remove it.

2026-04-30net/tcp-ao: Return void from functions that can no longer failEric Biggers
Since tcp-ao now uses the crypto library API instead of crypto_ahash, and MACs and keys now have a statically-known maximum size, many tcp-ao functions can no longer fail. Propagate this change up into the return types of various functions.

2026-04-30net/tcp-ao: Use stack-allocated MAC and traffic_key buffersEric Biggers
Now that the maximum MAC and traffic key lengths are statically-known small values, allocate MACs and traffic keys on the stack instead of with kmalloc. This eliminates multiple failure-prone GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Note that some cases such as tcp_ao_prepare_reset() are left unchanged for now since they would require slightly wider changes.

2026-04-30net/tcp-ao: Use crypto library API instead of crypto_ahashEric Biggers
Currently the kernel's TCP-AO implementation does the MAC and KDF computations using the crypto_ahash API. This API is inefficient and difficult to use, and it has required extensive workarounds in the form of per-CPU preallocated objects (tcp_sigpool) to work at all. Let's use lib/crypto/ instead. This means switching to straightforward stack-allocated structures, virtually addressed buffers, and direct function calls. It also means removing quite a bit of error handling. This makes TCP-AO quite a bit faster. This also enables many additional cleanups, which later commits will handle: removing tcp-sigpool, removing support for crypto_tfm cloning, removing more error handling, and replacing more dynamically-allocated buffers with stack buffers based on the now-statically-known limits.
