net: mctp: fix don't require received header reserved bits to be zero

2026-05-07T04:13:58+00:00

commit a663bac71a2f0b3ac6c373168ca57b2a6e6381aa upstream.

From the MCTP Base specification (DSP0236 v1.2.1), the first byte of
the MCTP header contains a 4 bit reserved field, and 4 bit version.

On our current receive path, we require those 4 reserved bits to be
zero, but the 9500-8i card is non-conformant, and may set these
reserved bits.

DSP0236 states that the reserved bits must be written as zero, and
ignored when read. While the device might not conform to the former,
we should accept these message to conform to the latter.

Relax our check on the MCTP version byte to allow non-zero bits in the
reserved field.

RDMA/mana_ib: Disable RX steering on RSS QP destroy

2026-05-07T04:13:52+00:00

commit dbeb256e8dd87233d891b170c0b32a6466467036 upstream.

When an RSS QP is destroyed (e.g. DPDK exit), mana_ib_destroy_qp_rss()
destroys the RX WQ objects but does not disable vPort RX steering in
firmware. This leaves stale steering configuration that still points to
the destroyed RX objects.

If traffic continues to arrive (e.g. peer VM is still transmitting) and
the VF interface is subsequently brought up (mana_open), the firmware
may deliver completions using stale CQ IDs from the old RX objects.
These CQ IDs can be reused by the ethernet driver for new TX CQs,
causing RX completions to land on TX CQs:

  WARNING: mana_poll_tx_cq+0x1b8/0x220 [mana]  (is_sq == false)
  WARNING: mana_gd_process_eq_events+0x209/0x290 (cq_table lookup fails)

Fix this by disabling vPort RX steering before destroying RX WQ objects.
Note that mana_fence_rqs() cannot be used here because the fence
completion is delivered on the CQ, which is polled by user-mode (e.g.
DPDK) and not visible to the kernel driver.

Refactor the disable logic into a shared mana_disable_vport_rx() in
mana_en, exported for use by mana_ib, replacing the duplicate code.
The ethernet driver's mana_dealloc_queues() is also updated to call
this common function.

Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc8.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

2026-04-10T15:40:49+00:00

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "The kernfs rbtree is keyed by (hash, ns, name) where the hash
  is seeded with the raw namespace pointer via init_name_hash(ns).

  The resulting hash values are exposed to userspace through
  readdir seek positions, and the pointer-based ordering in
  kernfs_name_compare() is observable through entry order.

  Switch from raw pointers to ns_common::ns_id for both hashing
  and comparison.

  A preparatory commit first replaces all const void * namespace
  parameters with const struct ns_common * throughout kernfs, sysfs,
  and kobject so the code can access ns->ns_id. Also compare the
  ns_id when hashes match in the rbtree to handle crafted collisions.

  Also fix eventpoll RCU grace period issue and a cachefiles refcount
  problem"

kernfs: pass struct ns_common instead of const void * for namespace tags

2026-04-09T12:36:52+00:00

kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags
used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of
this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are
cast to void *.

Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct
ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers.
This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(),
and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags.

Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require
access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be
converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via
container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction.

This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory
iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of
raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: make hash table per queue

2026-04-08T11:34:51+00:00

Sharing a global hash table among all queues is tempting, but
it can cause crash:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nfqnl_recv_verdict+0x11ac/0x15e0 [nfnetlink_queue]

 nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x46a/0x930
 kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof+0x11e/0x450

struct nf_queue_entry is freed via kfree, but parallel cpu can still
encounter such an nf_queue_entry when walking the list.

Alternative fix is to free the nf_queue_entry via kfree_rcu() instead,
but as we have to alloc/free for each skb this will cause more mem
pressure.

netfilter: nft_ct: fix use-after-free in timeout object destroy

2026-04-08T11:34:16+00:00

nft_ct_timeout_obj_destroy() frees the timeout object with kfree()
immediately after nf_ct_untimeout(), without waiting for an RCU grace
period. Concurrent packet processing on other CPUs may still hold
RCU-protected references to the timeout object obtained via
rcu_dereference() in nf_ct_timeout_data().

Add an rcu_head to struct nf_ct_timeout and use kfree_rcu() to defer
freeing until after an RCU grace period, matching the approach already
used in nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.

xsk: fix XDP_UMEM_SG_FLAG issues

2026-04-07T01:43:51+00:00

Currently xp_assign_dev_shared() is missing XDP_USE_SG being propagated
to flags so set it in order to preserve mtu check that is supposed to be
done only when no multi-buffer setup is in picture.

Also, this flag has the same value as XDP_UMEM_TX_SW_CSUM so we could
get unexpected SG setups for software Tx checksums. Since csum flag is
UAPI, modify value of XDP_UMEM_SG_FLAG.

xsk: respect tailroom for ZC setups

2026-04-07T01:43:51+00:00

Multi-buffer XDP stores information about frags in skb_shared_info that
sits at the tailroom of a packet. The storage space is reserved via
xdp_data_hard_end():

	((xdp)->data_hard_start + (xdp)->frame_sz -	\
	 SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)))

and then we refer to it via macro below:

static inline struct skb_shared_info *
xdp_get_shared_info_from_buff(const struct xdp_buff *xdp)
{
        return (struct skb_shared_info *)xdp_data_hard_end(xdp);
}

Currently we do not respect this tailroom space in multi-buffer AF_XDP
ZC scenario. To address this, introduce xsk_pool_get_tailroom() and use
it within xsk_pool_get_rx_frame_size() which is used in ZC drivers to
configure length of HW Rx buffer.

Typically drivers on Rx Hw buffers side work on 128 byte alignment so
let us align the value returned by xsk_pool_get_rx_frame_size() in order
to avoid addressing this on driver's side. This addresses the fact that
idpf uses mentioned function *before* pool->dev being set so we were at
risk that after subtracting tailroom we would not provide 128-byte
aligned value to HW.

Since xsk_pool_get_rx_frame_size() is actively used in xsk_rcv_check()
and __xsk_rcv(), add a variant of this routine that will not include 128
byte alignment and therefore old behavior is preserved.

net: increase IP_TUNNEL_RECURSION_LIMIT to 5

2026-04-03T22:52:10+00:00

In configurations with multiple tunnel layers and MPLS lwtunnel routing, a
single tunnel hop can increment the counter beyond this limit. This causes
packets to be dropped with the "Dead loop on virtual device" message even
when a routing loop doesn't exist.

Increase IP_TUNNEL_RECURSION_LIMIT from 4 to 5 to handle this use-case.

mpls: add seqcount to protect the platform_label{,s} pair

2026-03-27T01:32:14+00:00

The RCU-protected codepaths (mpls_forward, mpls_dump_routes) can have
an inconsistent view of platform_labels vs platform_label in case of a
concurrent resize (resize_platform_label_table, under
platform_mutex). This can lead to OOB accesses.

This patch adds a seqcount, so that we get a consistent snapshot.

Note that mpls_label_ok is also susceptible to this, so the check
against RTA_DST in rtm_to_route_config, done outside platform_mutex,
is not sufficient. This value gets passed to mpls_label_ok once more
in both mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del, so there is no issue, but
that additional check must not be removed.
