2026-06-27net: dsa: Fix skb ownership in taggersLinus Walleij
The tag_8021q.c tagger calls vlan_insert_tag() in dsa_8021q_xmit(). vlan_insert_tag() will consume the skb with kfree_skb() on failure and return NULL. When NULL is returned as error code to ->xmit() in dsa_user_xmit() it will free the same skb again leading to a double-free. The idea of dsa_user_xmit() and dsa_switch_rcv() dropping the skb they held before the call to ->xmit() and ->rcv() is conceptually wrong: the pattern elsewhere in the networking code is that consumers drop their skb:s on failure. Modify the ->xmit() and ->rcv() call sites to not drop the SKB if the taggers return NULL from any of these calls. Move those drops into the taggers so every callback error path that retains ownership consumes the skb before returning NULL. Keep the existing helper ownership rules: VLAN insertion helpers already free on failure (this is the case in tag_8021q.c), while deferred transmit paths either transfer the skb reference to worker context or hold a worker reference with skb_get() and drop the caller's reference. For SJA1105 meta RX, transfer the buffered stampable skb under the meta lock and return NULL while the skb is waiting for its meta frame: the skb is not dropped in this case. NOTICE: Backporting patches to taggers (e.g. for stable kernels) after this point cannot be mechanical or they will introduce double kfree_skb().

2026-06-27sctp: add INIT verification after cookie unpackingXin Long
In SCTP handshake, the INIT chunk is initially processed by the server and embedded into the cookie carried in INIT-ACK. The client then returns this cookie via COOKIE-ECHO, where the server unpacks it and reconstructs the original INIT chunk. When cookie authentication is enabled, the cookie contents are protected against tampering, so reusing the unpacked INIT without re-verification is safe. However, when cookie authentication is disabled, the reconstructed INIT can no longer be trusted. In this case, the INIT must be explicitly validated after unpacking to avoid processing potentially tampered data. Add sctp_verify_init() checks after cookie unpacking in COOKIE-ECHO processing paths (sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce() and sctp_sf_do_5_2_4_dupcook()) when cookie_auth_enable is disabled. On failure, the new association is freed and the packet is discarded. Also tighten cookie validation in sctp_unpack_cookie() by verifying the embedded chunk type is SCTP_CID_INIT before treating it as an INIT chunk. Finally, update sctp_verify_init() to validate parameter bounds using the actual embedded INIT length instead of chunk->chunk_end, since the INIT stored in COOKIE-ECHO may not span the entire chunk buffer.

This is what happens on netpoll shutdown path: 1) __netpoll_cleanup() is called 2) set dev->npinfo to NULL 3) call_rcu() with rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() 3.1) rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() tries to cancel all workers with cancel_delayed_work(), but doesn't wait for the worker to finish 4) and kfree(npinfo); Because 3.1) doesn't really cancel the work, as the comment says "we can't call cancel_delayed_work_sync here, as we are in softirq", the TX worker can run after 4). Tl;DR: queue_process() is not an RCU reader, it reaches npinfo through the work item via container_of(). Use disable_delayed_work_sync() to ensure the worker is completely stopped and prevent any future re-arming attempts. Once npinfo is set to NULL, senders will bail out and not queue new work. The disable flag ensures any in-flight re-arming attempts also fail silently. In the future, we can do the cleanup inline here without needing the npinfo->rcu rcu_head, but that is net-next material.

2026-06-27sctp: fix SCTP_RESET_STREAMS stream list length limitYousef Alhouseen
SCTP_RESET_STREAMS carries a flexible array of u16 stream IDs, but the optlen clamps treat USHRT_MAX as a byte count and then multiply sizeof(__u16) by the fixed header size. That caps the copied and validated option buffer at about 64 KiB, which rejects valid requests containing more than about half of the u16 stream ID range. Use struct_size_t() for the maximum struct sctp_reset_streams layout instead, so the bound matches the flexible array described by srs_number_streams.

2026-06-26net/sched: sch_multiq: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and ↵Bryam Vargas
qdisc_dequeue_peeked multiq_dequeue() takes a packet from a band's child with a direct ->dequeue() call after multiq_peek() peeked it. When the child is non-work-conserving the peek stashes the skb in the child's gso_skb, so the direct dequeue returns a different skb and orphans the stash, desyncing the child's qlen/backlog. With a qfq child reached through a peeking parent (e.g. tbf) this re-enters the child on an emptied list and dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress. Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_prio already does and as sch_red and sch_sfb were just fixed to do. The helper is a no-op when the child has no stash, so a work-conserving child is unaffected. Fixes: 77be155cba4e ("pkt_sched: Add peek emulation for non-work-conserving qdiscs.")

2026-06-26seg6: validate SRH length before reading fixed fieldsNuoqi Gui
seg6_validate_srh() reads fixed SRH fields such as srh->type and srh->hdrlen before checking that the supplied length covers the fixed struct ipv6_sr_hdr fields. The BPF SEG6 encap path reaches this with a BPF program-supplied pointer and length: bpf_lwt_push_encap() and the SEG6 local BPF END_B6 and END_B6_ENCAP actions call bpf_push_seg6_encap(), which forwards the length to seg6_validate_srh() with no minimum-size guard. A 2-byte SEG6 encap header can therefore make the validator read srh->type at offset 2 beyond the caller-supplied buffer. Reject lengths shorter than the fixed SRH at the top of seg6_validate_srh(), before any field is read. This fixes the BPF helper path and keeps the common validator robust.

2026-06-26xfrm: fix stale skb->prev after async crypto steals a GSO segmentPetr Wozniak
skb_gso_segment() leaves the segment list head with ->prev pointing at the last segment, an invariant validate_xmit_skb_list() relies on when it sets its tail pointer (tail = skb->prev). When validate_xmit_xfrm() walks a GSO list and some segments are stolen by async crypto (->xmit() returns -EINPROGRESS), those segments are unlinked from the list but the head ->prev is never updated. If the last segment is the one stolen, the returned head still has ->prev pointing at it, even though it is now owned by the crypto engine and may be freed. validate_xmit_skb_list() later does tail->next = skb, writing through that stale pointer -- a use-after-free. Repoint skb->prev at the last retained segment before returning. Fixes: f53c723902d1 ("net: Add asynchronous callbacks for xfrm on layer 2.")

2026-06-26xfrm: propagate -EINPROGRESS from validate_xmit_xfrm()Petr Wozniak
validate_xmit_xfrm() returns NULL both when a packet is dropped and when it is stolen by async crypto (-EINPROGRESS from ->xmit()). Callers cannot distinguish the two cases. f53c723902d1 ("net: Add asynchronous callbacks for xfrm on layer 2.") changed the semantics of a NULL return from "dropped" to "stolen or dropped", but __dev_queue_xmit() was not updated. On virtual/bridge interfaces (noqueue qdisc) __dev_queue_xmit() initialises rc=-ENOMEM and jumps to out: when skb is NULL, returning -ENOMEM to the caller even though the packet will be delivered correctly via xfrm_dev_resume(). Return ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) from validate_xmit_xfrm() for the async case so callers can tell it apart from a real drop. Update __dev_queue_xmit() to handle ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) from validate_xmit_skb() correctly. Update validate_xmit_skb_list() to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() so that ERR_PTR(-EINPROGRESS) is not mistakenly added to the transmitted list.

2026-06-25bpf, sockmap: reject a packet-modifying SK_SKB stream parserSechang Lim
sk_psock_strp_parse() runs the BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB stream-parser program to find the length of the next message. strparser assembles a message out of several received skbs by chaining them onto the head's frag_list and recording where to append the next one in strp->skb_nextp: *strp->skb_nextp = skb; strp->skb_nextp = &skb->next; and then calls the parser on the head: len = (*strp->cb.parse_msg)(strp, head); The parser is only meant to inspect the skb, but the program may call bpf_skb_change_tail() -- or the sibling bpf_skb_pull_data(), bpf_skb_change_head(), bpf_skb_adjust_room(), all allowed for SK_SKB. Once the head carries a frag_list these go ... -> skb_ensure_writable -> pskb_may_pull -> __pskb_pull_tail and __pskb_pull_tail() frees the frag_list skbs that strparser still tracks through skb_nextp: while ((list = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list) != insp) { skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list = list->next; consume_skb(list); } strp->skb_nextp now points into a freed sk_buff. The next segment of the same message arrives in __strp_recv(), which links it with *strp->skb_nextp = skb, an 8-byte write into the freed skb. The free and the write happen in different __strp_recv() calls, so the message has to span at least three segments before it triggers.

2026-06-25bpf: Support BPF_F_EGRESS with bpf_redirect_peerJordan Rife
We have several use cases where a pod injects traffic into the datapath of another so that the traffic appears to have originated from that pod. One such use case is a synthetic flow generator which injects synthetic traffic into a pod's datapath to enable dynamic probing and debugging. Another is a transparent proxy where connections originating from one pod are redirected towards another which proxies that connection. The new connection is bound to the IP of the original pod using IP_TRANSPARENT and its traffic is injected into that pod's datapath and handled as if it had originated there. This can be used for mTLS, etc. We use bpf_redirect(BPF_F_INGRESS) to direct traffic leaving the proxy, flow generator, etc. towards the target pod, ensuring that eBPF programs that are meant to intercept traffic leaving that pod are executed. However, this doesn't work with netkit. With netkit, an ingress redirection from proxy to workload skips eBPF programs that are meant to intercept traffic leaving the pod, since they reside on the netkit peer device. One workaround is to attach the same program to both the netkit peer device and the TCX ingress hook for the netkit pair's primary interface, but a) This seems hacky and we need to be careful not to run the same program twice for the same skb in cases where we want to pass that traffic to the host stack. b) We're trying to keep the proxy redirection / traffic injection systems as modular and separated from Cilium as possible, the system that manages netkit setup and core eBPF programming. It would be handy if instead we could redirect traffic directly from one netkit peer device to another. This patch proposes an extension to bpf_redirect_peer to allow us to do just that. With this patch, the BPF_F_EGRESS flag tells bpf_redirect_peer to emit the skb in the egress direction of the target interface's peer device While the main use case is netkit, I suppose you could also use this mode with veth as well if, e.g., there were some eBPF programs attached to that side of the veth pair that needed to intercept traffic. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | +-------------------------+ 6. bpf_redirect_neigh(eth0) | | | pod (10.244.0.10) | ------------------------ | | | | | | | | | +--------+ | | +---------+ | | | | 1. packet -->| | | | | | | | | | leaves ^ | netkit |<===========|======| netkit | | | | | | | peer |=======(eBPF)=====>| primary | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +--------+ | | +---------+ | | | | | | | 2. bpf_redirect v | | +-----------|-------------+ |___________________ +-------| | | | | eth0 | | | 5. bpf_redirect_peer(BPF_F_EGRESS) | +-------| | |________________________ | | | +-------------------------+ | | | | | proxy (10.244.0.11) | | | | | | IP_TRANSPARENT | | | | | | +--------+ | | +---------+ | | | | 3. packet <--| | | | | |<-- | | | enters | netkit |<===========|======| netkit | | | | [proxy] | peer |=======(eBPF)=====>| primary | | | | 4. packet -->| | | | | | | | leaves +--------+ | +---------+ | | | sip=10.244.0.10 | | | +-------------------------+ | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Using the proxy use case as an example, in step 5 we would redirect traffic leaving the proxy towards the pod's peer device using bpf_redirect_peer(BPF_F_EGRESS). As a bonus, since the skb doesn't have to go through the backlog queue it can take full advantage of netkit's performance benefits. I set up a test where outgoing iperf3 traffic is injected into the datapath of another pod using either bpf_redirect_peer(BPF_F_EGRESS) or bpf_redirect(BPF_F_INGRESS). I used Cilium's eBPF host routing mode which skips the host stack and uses BPF redirect helpers to do all the routing.

2026-06-25vlan: defer real device state propagation to netdev_workJakub Kicinski
vlan_device_event() generates nested UP/DOWN, MTU and feature change events. It executes an event for the VLAN device directly from the notifier - while the locks of the lower device are held. This causes deadlocks, for example: bond (3) bond_update_speed_duplex(vlan) | ^ v vlan (2) UP(vlan) (4) vlan_ethtool_get_link_ksettings() | ^ v dummy (1) UP(dummy) (5) __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() The dummy device is ops locked, vlan creates a nested event (2), then bond wants to ask vlan for link state (3). bond uses the "I'm already holding the instance lock" flavor of API. But in this case the lock held refers to vlan itself. We hit vlan's link settings trampoline (4) and call __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() which tries to lock dummy. Deadlock. There's no clean way for us to tell the vlan_ethtool_get_link_ksettings() that the caller is already in lower device's critical section. Defer the propagation to the per-netdev work facility instead: the notifier only schedules netdev_work_sched(vlandev, VLAN_WORK_*), and ndo_work (vlan_dev_work) applies the change later. Hopefully nobody expects the VLAN state changes to be instantaneous. If someone does expect the changes to be instantaneous we will have to do the same thing Stan did for rx_mode and "strategically" place sync calls, to make sure such delayed works are executed after we drop the ops lock but before we drop rtnl_lock. Stan suggests that if we need that down the line we may consider reshaping the mechanism into "async notifications". AFAICT only vlan does this sort of netdev open chaining, so as a first try I think that sticking the complexity into the vlan code makes sense. One corner case is that we need to cancel the event if user explicitly changes the state before work could run. Consider the following operations with vlan0 on top of dummy0: ip link set dev dummy0 up # queues work to up vlan0 ip link set dev vlan0 down # user explicitly downs the vlan ndo_work # acts on the stale event Reported-by: syzbot+09da62a8b78959ceb8bb@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Reported-by: syzbot+cb67c392b0b8f0fd0fc1@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Reported-by: syzbot+9bb8bd77f3966641f298@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: 9f275c2e9020 ("net: ethtool: make sure __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() is ops-locked") Reviewed-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nicolai Buchwitz <nb@tipi-net.de> Acked-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@fomichev.me> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260624182018.2445732-4-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2026-06-25rxrpc: Fix ACKALL packet handlingWyatt Feng
rxrpc_input_ackall() accepts ACKALL packets without checking whether the call is in a state that can legitimately have outstanding transmit buffers. A forged ACKALL can therefore reach a new service call in RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_RECV_REQUEST before any reply packets have been queued. In that state call->tx_top is zero and call->tx_queue is NULL, so rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() dereferences a NULL txqueue and triggers a null-pointer dereference. Fix the handling of ACKALL packets by the following means: (1) Add two new call states: RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_PRE_SEND which indicates that the client call is connected, but nothing has been transmitted as yet; and RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_AWAIT_ACK, which indicates that everything has been transmitted at least once, but we're now waiting for the stuff remaining in the Tx buffer to be ACK'd (retransmissions may still happen). The RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_PRE_SEND state is set when the call is assigned a channel and transitions to RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_SEND_REQUEST when the first packet is transmitted. RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_AWAIT_REPLY is then narrowed in scope to indicate that all Tx packets have been ACK'd and we're now waiting for the reply to be received. (2) As per Wyatt Feng's original patch[1], the ACKALL handler then checks that the call state is one in which there might be stuff in the Tx buffer to ACK, but now this includes AWAIT_ACK rather than AWAIT_REPLY. ACKALL packets are ignored if received in the wrong state. Note that unlike Wyatt Feng's patch, it's no longer necessary to check to see if the Tx buffer exists as this the state set now covers this. (3) Make the ACKALL handler use call->tx_transmitted rather than call->tx_top as the former is explicitly the highest packet seq number transmitted, whereas the latter has a looser definition. Thanks to Jeffrey Altman for a description of the history of the ACKALL packet[1].

2026-06-25tipc: avoid busy looping in tipc_exit_net()Eric Dumazet
Blamed commit introduced a busy-wait loop in tipc_exit_net() to wait for pending UDP bearer cleanup works to complete: while (atomic_read(&tn->wq_count)) cond_resched(); This loop can busy-wait for a long time if cond_resched() is a NOP. This typically happens if the netns exit is executed by a high priority task, or under kernels configured without preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE). In such cases, it wastes CPU cycles and can lead to soft lockups. Fix this by replacing the busy loop with wait_var_event(), allowing the thread to sleep properly until the work queue count reaches zero. Accordingly, update cleanup_bearer() to use atomic_dec_and_test() and wake_up_var() to wake up the waiter when the count drops to zero. This uses the global wait queue hash table, avoiding the need to bloat struct tipc_net with a wait_queue_head_t. The atomic_dec_and_test() provides the necessary memory barrier to ensure the wakeup is not missed.

2026-06-25tipc: fix UAF in cleanup_bearer() due to premature dst_cache_destroy()Eric Dumazet
TIPC UDP media bearer teardown calls dst_cache_destroy() on its replicast caches before calling synchronize_net() to wait for concurrent RCU readers (transmitters) to finish: static void cleanup_bearer(struct work_struct *work) { ... list_for_each_entry_safe(rcast, tmp, &ub->rcast.list, list) { dst_cache_destroy(&rcast->dst_cache); list_del_rcu(&rcast->list); kfree_rcu(rcast, rcu); } ... dst_cache_destroy(&ub->rcast.dst_cache); udp_tunnel_sock_release(ub->sk); synchronize_net(); ... } This is highly buggy because dst_cache_destroy() immediately frees the per-CPU cache memory (free_percpu()) and releases the cached dst entries without any synchronization. If a concurrent transmitter (e.g., tipc_udp_xmit()) is running on another CPU under RCU protection, it can call dst_cache_get() concurrently, leading to: 1. Use-After-Free on the per-CPU cache pointer itself (crash). 2. "rcuref - imbalanced put()" warning if it attempts to release a dst that was concurrently released by dst_cache_destroy(). Furthermore, calling kfree(ub) immediately after synchronize_net() without closing the socket first (or waiting after closing it) leaves a window where a concurrent receiver (tipc_udp_recv()) could start after synchronize_net(), access ub, and suffer a UAF when kfree(ub) runs. To fix this, we must defer dst_cache_destroy() and kfree(ub) until after we have ensured that no more readers can see the bearer/socket and all existing readers have finished: 1. Defer rcast entry destruction (both dst_cache_destroy() and kfree()) to an RCU callback using call_rcu_hurry(). Using call_rcu_hurry() ensures the dst entries are released quickly. 2. Release the bearer socket using udp_tunnel_sock_release() (stops new receive readers). 3. Call synchronize_net() to wait for all outstanding RCU readers (both transmit and receive) to finish. 4. Now that it is safe, call dst_cache_destroy() on the main bearer cache, and free ub. Note: 3) and 4) can be changed later in net-next to also use call_rcu_hurry() and get rid of the synchronize_net() latency.

ct_limit_set() is documented as being called with ovs_mutex held. It walks the ct limit hlist with hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), but the iterator does not currently pass the OVS lockdep condition used elsewhere for RCU-protected OVS objects. Pass lockdep_ovsl_is_held() to the iterator. This matches the function's existing caller contract and lets CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST distinguish the ovs_mutex-protected update path from the RCU read-side ct_limit_get() path. This was found by our static analysis tool and then manually reviewed against the current tree. In the reviewed CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST triage run, the writer-side ct limit update produced the expected "RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!" warning while ovs_mutex was held, with the stack matching ct_limit_set() and ovs_ct_limit_set_zone_limit(). The change is limited to documenting the existing protection contract. This is a lockdep annotation cleanup. It does not change the conntrack limit list update or release behavior.

Yue Sun reported a use-after-free and debugobjects warning in udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work() during concurrent device operations. The workqueue core clears the internal pending bit before invoking the worker. At that point, a concurrent thread can queue the work again. When the already running worker eventually clears the work_pending flag to 0, it mistakenly clears the flag for the newly queued instance. udp_tunnel_nic_unregister() then observes work_pending as 0 and frees the structure while the second work item is still active in the queue, leading to UAF. Fix this by returning early in udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync() if work_pending is already set, preventing redundant work queueing.

In tcp_ao_delete_key(), the del_async path skips the current_key and rnext_key validity checks present in the synchronous path, assuming these pointers are always NULL on LISTEN sockets. However, if a key was added with set_current=1/set_rnext=1 while the socket was in CLOSE state, current_key and rnext_key will be non-NULL after listen() transitions the socket to LISTEN. When such a key is deleted with del_async=1, hlist_del_rcu() and call_rcu() free the key without clearing the dangling pointers. After the RCU grace period, getsockopt(TCP_AO_INFO) dereferences current_key->sndid and rnext_key->rcvid from freed slab memory.

When handling proxy_ndp, if rtnl_net_trylock() fails, the operation is retried but as the value was already modified by the initial proc_dointvec() call, the restarted syscall will read the newly modified value as the 'old' state.

2026-06-23sctp: fix err_chunk memory leaks in INIT handlingXin Long
When sctp_verify_init() encounters unrecognized parameters, it allocates an err_chunk to report them. However, this chunk is leaked in several code paths: 1. In sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init(), if security_sctp_assoc_request() fails after sctp_verify_init() has populated err_chunk, the function returns immediately without freeing it. 2. In sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init(), the same leak occurs on the security_sctp_assoc_request() failure path. 3. In sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init(), on the success path after copying unrecognized parameters to the INIT-ACK, the function returns without freeing err_chunk, unlike sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() which properly frees it. Fix all three leaks by adding sctp_chunk_free(err_chunk) calls before returning in the error paths and on the success path in sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init().

2026-06-23net/sched: cls_api: Handle TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handleJamal Hadi Salim
tcf_classify() can return TC_ACT_CONSUMED while the skb is held by the defragmentation engine (e.g. act_ct on out-of-order fragments). When that happens the skb is no longer owned by the caller and must not be touched again. tcf_qevent_handle() did not handle TC_ACT_CONSUMED: it fell through the switch and returned the skb to the caller as if classification had passed. The only qdisc that wires up qevents today is RED, via three call sites (qe_mark on RED_PROB_MARK/HARD_MARK, qe_early_drop on congestion_drop) red_enqueue() was continuing to operate on an skb it no longer owns in this case -- enqueueing it, dropping it, or updating statistics. Resulting in a UAF. tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: red ... qevent early_drop block 10 tc filter add block 10 ... action ct (with ct defrag enabled and traffic that produces out-of-order fragments, e.g. a fragmented UDP stream) Handle TC_ACT_CONSUMED in tcf_qevent_handle() the same way the ingress and egress fast paths do: treat it as stolen and return NULL without touching the skb. Unlike the TC_ACT_STOLEN case, the skb must not be dropped/freed here, as it is no longer owned by us.

2026-06-23net: lwtunnel: Drop skb metadata before LWT encapsulationJakub Sitnicki
skb metadata is meant for passing information between XDP and TC. It lives in the skb headroom, immediately before skb->data. LWT programs cannot access the __sk_buff->data_meta pseudo-pointer to metadata. However, LWT encapsulation prepends outer headers, moving skb->data back over the headroom where the metadata sits. On an RX-originated (forwarded) packet that still carries XDP metadata this goes wrong in two different ways, depending on the encap type: 1. Non-BPF LWT encaps (mpls, seg6, ioam6 ...) call skb_push()/skb_pull() and silently overwrite the metadata that sits in the headroom. 2) BPF LWT xmit calls bpf_skb_change_head(), which uses skb_data_move(). That helper expects metadata immediately before skb->data. But since the IP output path runs LWT xmit before neighbour output has built the outgoing L2 header, for forwarded packets skb->data points at the L3 header while skb_mac_header() still points at the old L2 header. skb_data_move() sees metadata ending at skb_mac_header(), not before skb->data, warns and clears metadata: WARNING: CPU: 21 PID: 454557 at include/linux/skbuff.h:4609 skb_data_move+0x47/0x90 CPU: 21 UID: 0 PID: 454557 Comm: napi/iconduit-g Tainted: G O 6.18.21 #1 RIP: 0010:skb_data_move+0x47/0x90 Call Trace: <IRQ> bpf_skb_change_head+0xe6/0x1a0 bpf_prog_...+0x213/0x2e3 run_lwt_bpf.isra.0+0x1d3/0x360 bpf_xmit+0x46/0xe0 lwtunnel_xmit+0xa1/0xf0 ip_finish_output2+0x1e7/0x5e0 ip_output+0x63/0x100 __netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x85/0xa0 process_backlog+0x9c/0x150 __napi_poll+0x2b/0x190 net_rx_action+0x40b/0x7f0 handle_softirqs+0xd2/0x270 do_softirq+0x3f/0x60 </IRQ> That is what happens, as for how to fix it - a received packet that carries metadata can reach an encap through any of the three LWT redirect modes: LWTUNNEL_STATE_INPUT_REDIRECT ip6_rcv_finish dst_input lwtunnel_input LWTUNNEL_STATE_OUTPUT_REDIRECT ip6_rcv_finish dst_input ip6_forward ip6_forward_finish dst_output lwtunnel_output LWTUNNEL_STATE_XMIT_REDIRECT ip6_rcv_finish dst_input ip6_forward ip6_forward_finish dst_output ip6_output ip6_finish_output ip6_finish_output2 lwtunnel_xmit Every encap funnels through the three LWT dispatch helpers, so drop the metadata there, right before handing the skb to the encap op. This single chokepoint covers all encap types and all three redirect modes: - lwtunnel_input(): seg6, rpl, ila, seg6_local - lwtunnel_output(): ioam6 - lwtunnel_xmit(): mpls, LWT BPF xmit Alternatively, we could clear the metadata right after TC ingress hook. That would require a compromise, however. Metadata would become inaccessible from TC egress (in setups where it actually reaches the hook it tact, that is without any L2 tunnels on path).

2026-06-23net: do not acquire dev->tx_global_lock in netdev_watchdog_up()Eric Dumazet
Marek Szyprowski reported a deadlock during system resume when virtio_net driver is used. The deadlock occurs because netif_device_attach() is called while holding dev->tx_global_lock (via netif_tx_lock_bh() in virtnet_restore_up()). netif_device_attach() calls __netdev_watchdog_up(), which now also tries to acquire dev->tx_global_lock to synchronize with dev_watchdog(). This recursive lock acquisition results in a deadlock. Fix this by removing the tx_global_lock acquisition from netdev_watchdog_up(). The critical state (watchdog_timer and watchdog_ref_held) is already protected by dev->watchdog_lock, which was introduced in the blamed commit.
