Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP
- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining. Avoid
output arguments for returning drop reason where possible
- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata about
the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints
- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing
- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
thus making the table allocation size a power of two
- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag
- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the
randomly selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space
- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing

- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
buffer size drifting up
- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP
- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage
- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023)
- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module. Remove the now
unnecessary function calling indirection
Cross-tree stuff:

considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it
Netfilter:
- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.
Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate
- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex

Update do_sock_getsockopt() to use the new getsockopt_iter callback when available. Add do_sock_getsockopt_iter() helper that: 1. Reads optlen from user/kernel space 2. Initializes a sockopt_t with the appropriate iov_iter (kvec for kernel, ubuf for user buffers) and sets opt.optlen 3. Calls the protocol's getsockopt_iter callback 4. Writes opt.optlen back to user/kernel space The optlen is always written back, even on failure. Some protocols (e.g. CAN raw) return -ERANGE and set optlen to the required buffer size so userspace knows how much to allocate. The callback is responsible for setting opt.optlen to indicate the returned data size. Important to say that iov_out does not need to be copied back in do_sock_getsockopt(). When optval is not kernel (the userspace path), sockptr_to_sockopt() sets up opt->iter_out as a ITER_DEST ubuf iterator pointing directly at the userspace buffer (optval.user). So when getsockopt_iter implementations call copy_to_iter(..., &opt->iter_out), the data is written directly to userspace — no intermediate kernel buffer is involved. When optval.is_kernel is true (the in-kernel path, e.g. from io_uring), the kvec points at the already-provided kernel buffer (optval.kernel), so the data lands in the caller's buffer directly via the kvec-backed iterator. In both cases the iterator writes to the final destination in-place at protocol callback. There's nothing to copy back — only optlen needs to be written back.

Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner: "For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long, which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field for an inode. This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64. This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but 32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment. The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out carefully. With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to keep this simple" * tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.kino' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: nilfs2: fix 64-bit division operations in nilfs_bmap_find_target_in_group() EVM: add comment describing why ino field is still unsigned long vfs: remove externs from fs.h on functions modified by i_ino widening treewide: fix missed i_ino format specifier conversions ext4: fix signed format specifier in ext4_load_inode trace event treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 nilfs2: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 f2fs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 ext4: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 zonefs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 hugetlbfs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 ext2: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 cachefiles: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 vfs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 net: change sock.sk_ino and sock_i_ino() to u64 audit: widen ino fields to u64 vfs: widen inode hash/lookup functions to u64
Pull vfs xattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This reworks the simple_xattr infrastructure and adds support for user.* extended attributes on sockets. The simple_xattr subsystem currently uses an rbtree protected by a reader-writer spinlock. This series replaces the rbtree with an rhashtable giving O(1) average-case lookup with RCU-based lockless reads. This sped up concurrent access patterns on tmpfs quite a bit and it's an overall easy enough conversion to do and gets rid or rwlock_t. The conversion is done incrementally: a new rhashtable path is added alongside the existing rbtree, consumers are migrated one at a time (shmem, kernfs, pidfs), and then the rbtree code is removed. All three consumers switch from embedded structs to pointer-based lazy allocation so the rhashtable overhead is only paid for inodes that actually use xattrs. With this infrastructure in place the series adds support for user.* xattrs on sockets. Path-based AF_UNIX sockets inherit xattr support from the underlying filesystem (e.g. tmpfs) but sockets in sockfs - that is everything created via socket() including abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets - had no xattr support at all. The xattr_permission() checks are reworked to allow user.* xattrs on S_IFSOCK inodes. Sockfs sockets get per-inode limits of 128 xattrs and 128KB total value size matching the limits already in use for kernfs. The practical motivation comes from several directions. systemd and GNOME are expanding their use of Varlink as an IPC mechanism. For D-Bus there are tools like dbus-monitor that can observe IPC traffic across the system but this only works because D-Bus has a central broker. For Varlink there is no broker and there is currently no way to identify which sockets speak Varlink. With user.* xattrs on sockets a service can label its socket with the IPC protocol it speaks (e.g., user.varlink=1) and an eBPF program can then selectively capture traffic on those sockets. Enumerating bound sockets via netlink combined with these xattr labels gives a way to discover all Varlink IPC entrypoints for debugging and introspection. Similarly, systemd-journald wants to use xattrs on the /dev/log socket for protocol negotiation to indicate whether RFC 5424 structured syslog is supported or whether only the legacy RFC 3164 format should be used. In containers these labels are particularly useful as high-privilege or more complicated solutions for socket identification aren't available. The series comes with comprehensive selftests covering path-based AF_UNIX sockets, sockfs socket operations, per-inode limit enforcement, and xattr operations across multiple address families (AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, AF_PACKET)" * tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: selftests/xattr: test xattrs on various socket families selftests/xattr: sockfs socket xattr tests selftests/xattr: path-based AF_UNIX socket xattr tests xattr: support extended attributes on sockets xattr,net: support limited amount of extended attributes on sockfs sockets xattr: move user limits for xattrs to generic infra xattr: switch xattr_permission() to switch statement xattr: add xattr_permission_error() xattr: remove rbtree-based simple_xattr infrastructure pidfs: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs kernfs: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs with lazy allocation shmem: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs with lazy allocation xattr: add rhashtable-based simple_xattr infrastructure xattr: add rcu_head and rhash_head to struct simple_xattr

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

Instead of using struct timespec64 in scm_timestamping_internal, use ktime_t, saving 24 bytes in kernel stack. This makes tcp_update_recv_tstamps() small enough to be inlined. The ktime_t -> timespec64 conversions happen after socket lock has been released in tcp_recvmsg(), and only if the application requested them. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.0 vmlinux add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 5/4 up/down: 146/-277 (-131) Function old new delta tcp_zerocopy_receive 2383 2425 +42 mptcp_recvmsg 1565 1607 +42 tcp_recvmsg_locked 3797 3823 +26 put_cmsg_scm_timestamping64 131 149 +18 put_cmsg_scm_timestamping 131 149 +18 __pfx_tcp_update_recv_tstamps 16 - -16 do_tcp_getsockopt 4024 4006 -18 tcp_recv_timestamp 474 430 -44 tcp_zc_handle_leftover 417 371 -46 __sock_recv_timestamp 1087 1031 -56 tcp_update_recv_tstamps 97 - -97 Total: Before=25223788, After=25223657, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Xing <kerneljasonxing@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260304012747.881644-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Now that we've generalized the infrastructure for user.* xattrs make it possible to set up to 128 user.* extended attributes on a sockfs inode or up to 128kib. kernfs (cgroupfs) has the same limits and it has proven to be quite sufficient for nearly all use-cases. This will allow containers to label sockets and will e.g., be used by systemd and Gnome to find various sockets in containers where high-privilege or more complicated solutions aren't available.

skb_may_tx_timestamp() may acquire sock::sk_callback_lock. The lock must
not be taken in IRQ context, only softirq is okay. A few drivers receive
the timestamp via a dedicated interrupt and complete the TX timestamp
from that handler. This will lead to a deadlock if the lock is already
write-locked on the same CPU.
Taking the lock can be avoided. The socket (pointed by the skb) will
remain valid until the skb is released. The ->sk_socket and ->file
member will be set to NULL once the user closes the socket which may
happen before the timestamp arrives.
If we happen to observe the pointer while the socket is closing but
before the pointer is set to NULL then we may use it because both
pointer (and the file's cred member) are RCU freed.
Drop the lock. Use READ_ONCE() to obtain the individual pointer. Add a
matching WRITE_ONCE() where the pointer are cleared.
