syzbot found a race condition when kcm_unattach(psock)
and kcm_release(kcm) are executed at the same time.

kcm_unattach() is missing a check of the flag
kcm-&gt;tx_stopped before calling queue_work().

If the kcm has a reserved psock, kcm_unattach() might get executed
between cancel_work_sync() and unreserve_psock() in kcm_release(),
requeuing kcm-&gt;tx_work right before kcm gets freed in kcm_done().

Remove kcm-&gt;tx_stopped and replace it by the less
error-prone disable_work_sync().

The estimator kthreads' affinity are defined by sysctl overwritten
preferences and applied through a plain call to the scheduler's affinity
API.

However since the introduction of managed kthreads preferred affinity,
such a practice shortcuts the kthreads core code which eventually
overwrites the target to the default unbound affinity.

Fix this with using the appropriate kthread's API.

Currently when adding devlink port, phys_port_name is automatically
generated within devlink port initialization flow. As a result adding
devlink port support to driver may result in forced changes of interface
names, which breaks already existing network configs.

This is an expected behavior but in some scenarios it would not be
preferable to provide such limitation for legacy driver not being able to
keep 'pre-devlink' interface name.

Add flag no_phys_port_name to devlink_port_attrs struct which indicates
if devlink should not alter name of interface.

<title>net: page_pool: allow enabling recycling late, fix false positive warning</title>
<updated>2025-08-08T19:54:42+00:00</updated>

<name>Jakub Kicinski</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=64fdaa94bfe0cca3a0f4b2dd922486c5f59fe678'/>
<id>64fdaa94bfe0cca3a0f4b2dd922486c5f59fe678</id>
<content type='text'>
Page pool can have pages "directly" (locklessly) recycled to it,
if the NAPI that owns the page pool is scheduled to run on the same CPU.
To make this safe we check that the NAPI is disabled while we destroy
the page pool. In most cases NAPI and page pool lifetimes are tied
together so this happens naturally.

The queue API expects the following order of calls:
 -&gt; mem_alloc
    alloc new pp
 -&gt; stop
    napi_disable
 -&gt; start
    napi_enable
 -&gt; mem_free
    free old pp

Here we allocate the page pool in -&gt;mem_alloc and free in -&gt;mem_free.
But the NAPIs are only stopped between -&gt;stop and -&gt;start. We created
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() to safely shut down the recycling
in -&gt;stop. This way the page_pool_destroy() call in -&gt;mem_free doesn't
have to worry about recycling any more.

Unfortunately, the page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() is not enough
to deal with failures which necessitate freeing the _new_ page pool.
If we hit a failure in -&gt;mem_alloc or -&gt;stop the new page pool has
to be freed while the NAPI is active (assuming driver attaches the
page pool to an existing NAPI instance and doesn't reallocate NAPIs).

Freeing the new page pool is technically safe because it hasn't been
used for any packets, yet, so there can be no recycling. But the check
in napi_assert_will_not_race() has no way of knowing that. We could
check if page pool is empty but that'd make the check much less likely
to trigger during development.

Add page_pool_enable_direct_recycling(), pairing with
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling(). It will allow us to create the new
page pools in "disabled" state and only enable recycling when we know
the reconfig operation will not fail.

Coincidentally it will also let us re-enable the recycling for the old
pool, if the reconfig failed:

 -&gt; mem_alloc (new)
 -&gt; stop (old)
    # disables direct recycling for old
 -&gt; start (new)
    # fail!!
 -&gt; start (old)
    # go back to old pp but direct recycling is lost :(
 -&gt; mem_free (new)

The new helper is idempotent to make the life easier for drivers,
which can operate in HDS mode and support zero-copy Rx.
The driver can call the helper twice whether there are two pools
or it has multiple references to a single pool.

<title>net: Add locking to protect skb-&gt;dev access in ip_output</title>

<content type='text'>
In ip_output() skb-&gt;dev is updated from the skb_dst(skb)-&gt;dev
this can become invalid when the interface is unregistered and freed,

Introduced new skb_dst_dev_rcu() function to be used instead of
skb_dst_dev() within rcu_locks in ip_output.This will ensure that
all the skb's associated with the dev being deregistered will
be transnmitted out first, before freeing the dev.

Given that ip_output() is called within an rcu_read_lock()
critical section or from a bottom-half context, it is safe to introduce
an RCU read-side critical section within it.

Multiple panic call stacks were observed when UL traffic was run
in concurrency with device deregistration from different functions,
pasting one sample for reference.

UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP to enable udp_sk(sk)-&gt;encap_rcv. When the encap_rcv
hook return 1 in udp_queue_rcv_one_skb(), udp_csum_pull_header() will try
to pull udphdr, but the skb size has been segmented to gso size, which
leads to this crash.

Previous commit cf329aa42b66 ("udp: cope with UDP GRO packet misdirection")
introduces segmentation in UDP receive path only for GRO, which was never
intended to be used for UFO, so drop UFO packets in udp_rcv_segment().

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Remove usermode driver (UMD) framework (Thomas Weißschuh)

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Remove usermode driver (UMD) framework (Thomas Weißschuh)

 - Introduce Strongly Connected Component (SCC) in the verifier to
   detect loops and refine register liveness (Eduard Zingerman)

 - Allow 'void *' cast using bpf_rdonly_cast() and corresponding
   '__arg_untrusted' for global function parameters (Eduard Zingerman)

 - Improve precision for BPF_ADD and BPF_SUB operations in the verifier
   (Harishankar Vishwanathan)

 - Teach the verifier that constant pointer to a map cannot be NULL
   (Ihor Solodrai)

 - Introduce BPF streams for error reporting of various conditions
   detected by BPF runtime (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

 - Teach the verifier to insert runtime speculation barrier (lfence on
   x86) to mitigate speculative execution instead of rejecting the
   programs (Luis Gerhorst)

 - Various improvements for 'veristat' (Mykyta Yatsenko)

 - For CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL config warn on internal verifier errors to
   improve bug detection by syzbot (Paul Chaignon)

 - Support BPF private stack on arm64 (Puranjay Mohan)

 - Introduce bpf_cgroup_read_xattr() kfunc to read xattr of cgroup's
   node (Song Liu)

 - Introduce kfuncs for read-only string opreations (Viktor Malik)

 - Implement show_fdinfo() for bpf_links (Tao Chen)

 - Reduce verifier's stack consumption (Yonghong Song)

 - Implement mprog API for cgroup-bpf programs (Yonghong Song)
