bonding: add support for per-port LACP actor priority

2026-05-23T11:03:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6b6dc81ee7e8ca87c71a533e1d69cf96a4f1e986 ]

Introduce a new netlink attribute 'actor_port_prio' to allow setting
the LACP actor port priority on a per-slave basis. This extends the
existing bonding infrastructure to support more granular control over
LACP negotiations.

The priority value is embedded in LACPDU packets and will be used by
subsequent patches to influence aggregator selection policies.

net: bonding: add broadcast_neighbor option for 802.3ad

2026-05-23T11:03:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit ce7a381697cb3958ffe0b45e5028ac69444e9288 ]

Stacking technology is a type of technology used to expand ports on
Ethernet switches. It is widely used as a common access method in
large-scale Internet data center architectures. Years of practice
have proved that stacking technology has advantages and disadvantages
in high-reliability network architecture scenarios. For instance,
in stacking networking arch, conventional switch system upgrades
require multiple stacked devices to restart at the same time.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the business will be interrupted
for a while. It is for this reason that "no-stacking" in data centers
has become a trend. Additionally, when the stacking link connecting
the switches fails or is abnormal, the stack will split. Although it is
not common, it still happens in actual operation. The problem is that
after the split, it is equivalent to two switches with the same
configuration appearing in the network, causing network configuration
conflicts and ultimately interrupting the services carried by the
stacking system.

To improve network stability, "non-stacking" solutions have been
increasingly adopted, particularly by public cloud providers and
tech companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Didi. "non-stacking" is
a method of mimicing switch stacking that convinces a LACP peer,
bonding in this case, connected to a set of "non-stacked" switches
that all of its ports are connected to a single switch
(i.e., LACP aggregator), as if those switches were stacked. This
enables the LACP peer's ports to aggregate together, and requires
(a) special switch configuration, described in the linked article,
and (b) modifications to the bonding 802.3ad (LACP) mode to send
all ARP/ND packets across all ports of the active aggregator.

Note that, with multiple aggregators, the current broadcast mode
logic will send only packets to the selected aggregator(s).

Documentation: fix a hugetlbfs reservation statement

2026-05-23T11:03:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7a197d346a44384a1a858a98ef03766840e561d4 ]

Documentation/mm/hugetlbfs_reserv.rst has
	if (resv_needed <= (resv_huge_pages - free_huge_pages))
		resv_huge_pages += resv_needed;
which describes this code in gather_surplus_pages()
	needed = (h->resv_huge_pages + delta) - h->free_huge_pages;
	if (needed <= 0) {
		h->resv_huge_pages += delta;
		return 0;
	}
which means if there are enough free hugepages to account for the new
reservation, simply update the global reservation count without
further action.

But the description is backwards, it should be
	if (resv_needed <= (free_huge_pages - resv_huge_pages))
instead.

dt-bindings: net: dsa: nxp,sja1105: make spi-cpol optional for sja1110

2026-05-23T11:03:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit 600f01dc4bd0c736b3ffea9f7976136d8bf1b136 ]

Currently, the binding requires 'spi-cpha' for SJA1105 and 'spi-cpol'
for SJA1110.

However, the SJA1110 supports both SPI modes 0 and 2. Mode 2
(cpha=0, cpol=1) is used by the NXP LX2160 Bluebox 3.

On the SolidRun i.MX8DXL HummingBoard Telematics, mode 0 is stable,
while forcing mode 2 introduces CRC errors especially during bursts.

Drop the requirement on spi-cpol for SJA1110.

Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/reclaim: warn commit_inputs vs param updates race

2026-04-27T13:23:31+00:00

commit 0beba407d4585a15b0dc09f2064b5b3ddcb0e857 upstream.

Patch series "Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon: warn commit_inputs vs other
params race".

Writing 'Y' to the commit_inputs parameter of DAMON_RECLAIM and
DAMON_LRU_SORT, and writing other parameters before the commit_inputs
request is completely processed can cause race conditions.  While the
consequence can be bad, the documentation is not clearly describing that.
Add clear warnings.

The issue was discovered [1,2] by sashiko.


This patch (of 2):

DAMON_RECLAIM handles commit_inputs request inside kdamond thread,
reading the module parameters.  If the user updates the module
parameters while the kdamond thread is reading those, races can happen.
To avoid this, the commit_inputs parameter shows whether it is still in
the progress, assuming users wouldn't update parameters in the middle of
the work.  Some users might ignore that.  Add a warning about the
behavior.

The issue was discovered in [1] by sashiko.

dt-bindings: net: Fix Tegra234 MGBE PTP clock

2026-04-27T13:23:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit fb22b1fc5bca3c0aad95388933497ceb30f1fb26 ]

The PTP clock for the Tegra234 MGBE device is incorrectly named
'ptp-ref' and should be 'ptp_ref'. This is causing the following
warning to be observed on Tegra234 platforms that use this device:

 ERR KERN tegra-mgbe 6800000.ethernet eth0: Invalid PTP clock rate
 WARNING KERN tegra-mgbe 6800000.ethernet eth0: PTP init failed

Although this constitutes an ABI breakage in the binding for this
device, PTP support has clearly never worked and so fix this now
so we can correct the device-tree for this device. Note that the
MGBE driver still supports the legacy 'ptp-ref' clock name and so
older/existing device-trees will still work, but given that this
is not the correct name, there is no point to advertise this in the
binding.
