net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem

2026-04-23T17:24:02+00:00

Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree. This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet, and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree to protect our sanity. The code is moved to an out-of-tree repo: https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan if it's cleaned up and reworked there we can accept it back. Minimal stub headers are kept for include/net/ax25.h (AX25_P_IP, AX25_ADDR_LEN, ax25_address) and include/net/rose.h (ROSE_ADDR_LEN) so that the conditional integration code in arp.c and tun.c continues to compile and work when the out-of-tree modules are loaded.

net: rose: reject truncated CLEAR_REQUEST frames in state machines

2026-04-12T20:09:45+00:00

All five ROSE state machines (states 1-5) handle ROSE_CLEAR_REQUEST by reading the cause and diagnostic bytes directly from skb->data[3] and skb->data[4] without verifying that the frame is long enough: rose_disconnect(sk, ..., skb->data[3], skb->data[4]); The entry-point check in rose_route_frame() only enforces ROSE_MIN_LEN (3 bytes), so a remote peer on a ROSE network can send a syntactically valid but truncated CLEAR_REQUEST (3 or 4 bytes) while a connection is open in any state. Processing such a frame causes a one- or two-byte out-of-bounds read past the skb data, leaking uninitialized heap content as the cause/diagnostic values returned to user space via getsockopt(ROSE_GETCAUSE). Add a single length check at the rose_process_rx_frame() dispatch point, before any state machine is entered, to drop frames that carry the CLEAR_REQUEST type code but are too short to contain the required cause and diagnostic fields.

net: rose: convert 'use' field to refcount_t

2025-08-27T14:43:08+00:00

The 'use' field in struct rose_neigh is used as a reference counter but lacks atomicity. This can lead to race conditions where a rose_neigh structure is freed while still being referenced by other code paths. For example, when rose_neigh->use becomes zero during an ioctl operation via rose_rt_ioctl(), the structure may be removed while its timer is still active, potentially causing use-after-free issues. This patch changes the type of 'use' from unsigned short to refcount_t and updates all code paths to use rose_neigh_hold() and rose_neigh_put() which operate reference counts atomically.

net: track pfmemalloc drops via SKB_DROP_REASON_PFMEMALLOC

2025-07-18T23:59:05+00:00

Add a new SKB drop reason (SKB_DROP_REASON_PFMEMALLOC) to track packets dropped due to memory pressure. In production environments, we've observed memory exhaustion reported by memory layer stack traces, but these drops were not properly tracked in the SKB drop reason infrastructure. While most network code paths now properly report pfmemalloc drops, some protocol-specific socket implementations still use sk_filter() without drop reason tracking: - Bluetooth L2CAP sockets - CAIF sockets - IUCV sockets - Netlink sockets - SCTP sockets - Unix domain sockets These remaining cases represent less common paths and could be converted in a follow-up patch if needed. The current implementation provides significantly improved observability into memory pressure events in the network stack, especially for key protocols like TCP and UDP, helping to diagnose problems in production environments.

net: Don't include filter.h from net/sock.h

2021-12-29T16:48:14+00:00

sock.h is pretty heavily used (5k objects rebuilt on x86 after it's touched). We can drop the include of filter.h from it and add a forward declaration of struct sk_filter instead. This decreases the number of rebuilt objects when bpf.h is touched from ~5k to ~1k. There's a lot of missing includes this was masking. Primarily in networking tho, this time.
