10 daysipvs: clear the svc scheduler ptr early on editJulian Anastasov
ip_vs_edit_service() while unbinding the old scheduler clears the svc->scheduler ptr after the scheduler module initiates RCU callbacks. This can cause packets to use the old scheduler at the time when svc->sched_data is already freed after RCU grace period. Fix it by clearing the ptr early in ip_vs_unbind_scheduler(), before the done_service method schedules any RCU callbacks. Also, if the new scheduler fails to initialize when replacing the old scheduler, try to restore the old scheduler while still returning the error code.

2026-05-16ipvs: avoid possible loop in ip_vs_dst_event on resizingJulian Anastasov
Sashiko points out that unprivileged user can frequently call ip_vs_flush() or ip_vs_del_service() to trigger svc_table_changes updates that can lead to infinite loop in ip_vs_dst_event(). This can also happen if the user triggers frequent table resizing without deleting all services. We should also consider the possible effects if the user triggers many NETDEV_DOWN events. One way to solve it is to hold svc_resize_sem in ip_vs_dst_event() but this can block the dev notifier during the whole resizing process. Instead, use new rw_semaphore svc_replace_sem to protect just the svc_table replacement which is a short code section. Then hold svc_replace_sem in ip_vs_dst_event() to serialize with replacing the svc_table. As result, loop is avoided as there is no need to repeat the table walking from the start. By this way changes in svc_table_changes can happen only when all services are removed and all dev references dropped which allows us to abort the table walking. As IP_VS_WORK_SVC_NORESIZE is the flag used to stop the svc_resize_work under service_mutex, we should check only this flag often but not while under service_mutex. To remove the mutex_trylock() for service_mutex in the second phase where the resizer installs the new table after rehashing, we will avoid holding the service_mutex there. As result, the code in configuration context which is under service_mutex should access ipvs->svc_table under RCU because it can be replaced at anytime and released after a RCU grace period. As for ip_vs_zero_all(), it needs different solution as a table walker which can escape single RCU read-side critical section: to hold the svc_replace_sem to prevent table to be replaced. In ip_vs_status_show() prefer to hold svc_replace_sem to avoid many loops, just detect if the svc_table is removed. Prefer the newly attached table for the u_thresh/l_thresh checks to know when to grow/shrink while adding or deleting services because the new table size is based on the latest parameters.

2026-05-05ipvs: Guard access of HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask with RCUWaiman Long
The ip_vs_ctl.c file and the associated ip_vs.h file are the only places in the kernel where HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask is being retrieved and used. Now that HK_TYPE_KTHREAD/HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask can be changed at run time. We need to use RCU to guard access to this cpumask to avoid a potential UAF problem as the returned cpumask may be freed before it is being used. We can replace HK_TYPE_KTHREAD by HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as they are aliases of each other, but keeping the HK_TYPE_KTHREAD name can highlight the fact that it is the kthread initiated by ipvs that is being controlled.

2026-05-05ipvs: fix races around est_mutex and est_cpulistJulian Anastasov
Sashiko reports for races and possible crash around the usage of est_cpulist_valid and sysctl_est_cpulist. The problem is that we do not lock est_mutex in some places which can lead to wrong write ordering and as result problems when calling cpumask_weight() and cpumask_empty(). Fix them by moving the est_max_threads read/write under locked est_mutex. Do the same for one ip_vs_est_reload_start() call to protect the cpumask_empty() usage of sysctl_est_cpulist. To remove the chance of deadlock while stopping the estimation kthreads, keep the data structure for kthread 0 even after last estimator is removed and do not hold mutexes while stopping this task. Now we will use a new flag 'needed' to know when kthread 0 should run. The kthreads above 0 do not use mutexes, so stop them under est_mutex because their kthread data still can be destroyed if they do not serve estimators. Now all kthreads will be started by the est_reload_work to properly serialize the stop/start for kthread 0. Reduce the use of service_mutex in ip_vs_est_calc_phase() because under est_mutex we can safely walk est_kt_arr to stop the kthreads above slot 0. As ip_vs_stop_estimator() for tot_stats should be called under service_mutex, do it early in the netns exit path in ip_vs_flush() to avoid locking the mutex again later. It still should be called in ip_vs_control_net_cleanup_sysctl() when we are called during netns init error. Use -2 for ktid as indicator if estimator was already stopped. Finally, fix use-after-free for kd->est_row in ip_vs_est_calc_phase(). est->ktrow should simply switch to a delay value while estimator is linked to est_temp_list.

2026-05-05ipvs: fix the spin_lock usage for RT buildJulian Anastasov
syzbot reports for sleeping function called from invalid context [1]. The recently added code for resizable hash tables uses hlist_bl bit locks in combination with spin_lock for the connection fields (cp->lock). Fix the following problems: * avoid using spin_lock(&cp->lock) under locked bit lock because it sleeps on PREEMPT_RT * as the recent changes call ip_vs_conn_hash() only for newly allocated connection, the spin_lock can be removed there because the connection is still not linked to table and does not need cp->lock protection. * the lock can be removed also from ip_vs_conn_unlink() where we are the last connection user. * the last place that is fixed is ip_vs_conn_fill_cport() where now the cp->lock is locked before the other locks to ensure other packets do not modify the cp->flags in non-atomic way. Here we make sure cport and flags are changed only once if two or more packets race to fill the cport. Also, we fill cport early, so that if we race with resizing there will be valid cport key for the hashing. Add a warning if too many hash table changes occur for our RCU read-side critical section which is error condition but minor because the connection still can expire gracefully. Still, restore the cport to 0 to allow retransmitted packet to properly fill the cport. Problems reported by Sashiko.

2026-05-05ipvs: fix races around the conn_lfactor and svc_lfactor sysctl varsJulian Anastasov
Sashiko warns that the new sysctls vars can be changed after the hash tables are destroyed and their respective resizing works canceled, leading to mod_delayed_work() being called for canceled works. Solve this in different ways. conn_tab can be present even without services and is destroyed only on netns exit, so use disable_delayed_work_sync() to disable the work instead of adding more synchronization mechanisms. As for the svc_table, it is destroyed when the services are deleted, so we must be sure that netns exit is not called yet (the check for 'enable') and the work is not canceled by checking all under same mutex lock. Also, use WRITE_ONCE when updating the sysctl vars as we already read them with READ_ONCE.

2026-05-05ipvs: fixes for the new ip_vs_status infoJulian Anastasov
Sashiko reports some problems for the recently added /proc/net/ip_vs_status: * ip_vs_status_show() as a table reader may run long after the conn_tab and svc_table table are released. While ip_vs_conn_flush() properly changes the conn_tab_changes counter when conn_tab is removed, ip_vs_del_service() and ip_vs_flush() were missing such change for the svc_table_changes counter. As result, readers like ip_vs_dst_event() and ip_vs_status_show() may continue to use a freed table after a cond_resched_rcu() call. * While counting the buckets in ip_vs_status_show() make sure we traverse only the needed number of entries in the chain. This also prevents possible overflow of the 'count' variable. * Add check for 'loops' to prevent infinite loops while restarting the traversal on table change. * While IP_VS_CONN_TAB_MAX_BITS is 20 on 32-bit platforms and there is no risk to overflow when multiplying the number of conn_tab buckets to 100, prefer the div_u64() helper to make the following dividing safer. * Use 0440 permissions for ip_vs_status to restrict the info only to root due to the exported information for hash distribution.

2026-04-20ipvs: fix MTU check for GSO packets in tunnel modeYingnan Zhang
Currently, IPVS skips MTU checks for GSO packets by excluding them with the !skb_is_gso(skb) condition. This creates problems when IPVS tunnel mode encapsulates GSO packets with IPIP headers. The issue manifests in two ways: 1. MTU violation after encapsulation: When a GSO packet passes through IPVS tunnel mode, the original MTU check is bypassed. After adding the IPIP tunnel header, the packet size may exceed the outgoing interface MTU, leading to unexpected fragmentation at the IP layer. 2. Fragmentation with problematic IP IDs: When net.ipv4.vs.pmtu_disc=1 and a GSO packet with multiple segments is fragmented after encapsulation, each segment gets a sequentially incremented IP ID (0, 1, 2, ...). This happens because: a) The GSO packet bypasses MTU check and gets encapsulated b) At __ip_finish_output, the oversized GSO packet is split into separate SKBs (one per segment), with IP IDs incrementing c) Each SKB is then fragmented again based on the actual MTU This sequential IP ID allocation differs from the expected behavior and can cause issues with fragment reassembly and packet tracking. Fix this by properly validating GSO packets using skb_gso_validate_network_len(). This function correctly validates whether the GSO segments will fit within the MTU after segmentation. If validation fails, send an ICMP Fragmentation Needed message to enable proper PMTU discovery.

2026-04-08ipvs: fix NULL deref in ip_vs_add_service error pathWeiming Shi
When ip_vs_bind_scheduler() succeeds in ip_vs_add_service(), the local variable sched is set to NULL. If ip_vs_start_estimator() subsequently fails, the out_err cleanup calls ip_vs_unbind_scheduler(svc, sched) with sched == NULL. ip_vs_unbind_scheduler() passes the cur_sched NULL check (because svc->scheduler was set by the successful bind) but then dereferences the NULL sched parameter at sched->done_service, causing a kernel panic at offset 0x30 from NULL.

2026-03-04ipvs: use more keys for connection hashingJulian Anastasov
Simon Kirby reported long time ago that IPVS connection hashing based only on the client address/port (caddr, cport) as hash keys is not suitable for setups that accept traffic on multiple virtual IPs and ports. It can happen for multiple VIP:VPORT services, for single or many fwmark service(s) that match multiple virtual IPs and ports or even for passive FTP with peristence in DR/TUN mode where we expect traffic on multiple ports for the virtual IP. Fix it by adding virtual addresses and ports to the hash function. This causes the traffic from NAT real servers to clients to use second hashing for the in->out direction. As result: - the IN direction from client will use hash node hn0 where the source/dest addresses and ports used by client will be used as hash keys - the OUT direction from NAT real servers will use hash node hn1 for the traffic from real server to client - the persistence templates are hashed only with parameters based on the IN direction, so they now will also use the virtual address, port and fwmark from the service. OLD: - all methods: c_list node: proto, caddr:cport - persistence templates: c_list node: proto, caddr_net:0 - persistence engine templates: c_list node: per-PE, PE-SIP uses jhash NEW: - all methods: hn0 node (dir 0): proto, caddr:cport -> vaddr:vport - MASQ method: hn1 node (dir 1): proto, daddr:dport -> caddr:cport - persistence templates: hn0 node (dir 0): proto, caddr_net:0 -> vaddr:vport_or_0 proto, caddr_net:0 -> fwmark:0 - persistence engine templates: hn0 node (dir 0): as before Also reorder the ip_vs_conn fields, so that hash nodes are on same read-mostly cache line while write-mostly fields are on separate cache line.

Use per-net resizable hash table for connections. The global table is slow to walk when using many namespaces. The table can be resized in the range of [256 - ip_vs_conn_tab_size]. Table is attached only while services are present. Resizing is done by delayed work based on load (the number of connections). Add a hash_key field into the connection to store the table ID in the highest bit and the entry's hash value in the lowest bits. The lowest part of the hash value is used as bucket ID, the remaining part is used to filter the entries in the bucket before matching the keys and as result, helps the lookup operation to access only one cache line. By knowing the table ID and bucket ID for entry, we can unlink it without calculating the hash value and doing lookup by keys. We need only to validate the saved hash_key under lock. For better security switch from jhash to siphash for the default connection hashing but the persistence engines may use their own function. Keeping the hash table loaded with entries below the size (12%) allows to avoid collision for 96+% of the conns. ip_vs_conn_fill_cport() now will rehash the connection with proper locking because unhash+hash is not safe for RCU readers. To invalidate the templates setting just dport to 0xffff is enough, no need to rehash them. As result, ip_vs_conn_unhash() is now unused and removed.

2026-03-04ipvs: use resizable hash table for servicesJulian Anastasov
Make the hash table for services resizable in the bit range of 4-20. Table is attached only while services are present. Resizing is done by delayed work based on load (the number of hashed services). Table grows when load increases 2+ times (above 12.5% with lfactor=-3) and shrinks 8+ times when load decreases 16+ times (below 0.78%). Switch to jhash hashing to reduce the collisions for multiple services. Add a hash_key field into the service to store the table ID in the highest bit and the entry's hash value in the lowest bits. The lowest part of the hash value is used as bucket ID, the remaining part is used to filter the entries in the bucket before matching the keys and as result, helps the lookup operation to access only one cache line.

2026-03-04ipvs: add resizable hash tablesJulian Anastasov
Add infrastructure for resizable hash tables based on hlist_bl which we will use in followup patches. The tables allow RCU lookups during resizing, bucket modifications are protected with per-bucket bit lock and additional custom locking, the tables are resized when load reaches thresholds determined based on load factor parameter. Compared to other implementations we rely on: * fast entry removal by using node unlinking without pre-lookup * entry rehashing when hash key changes * entries can contain multiple hash nodes * custom locking depending on different contexts * adjustable load factor to customize the grow/shrink process Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

2026-02-25ipvs: make ip_vs_svc_table and ip_vs_svc_fwm_table per netnsJiejian Wu
Current ipvs uses one global mutex "__ip_vs_mutex" to keep the global "ip_vs_svc_table" and "ip_vs_svc_fwm_table" safe. But when there are tens of thousands of services from different netns in the table, it takes a long time to look up the table, for example, using "ipvsadm -ln" from different netns simultaneously. We make "ip_vs_svc_table" and "ip_vs_svc_fwm_table" per netns, and we add "service_mutex" per netns to keep these two tables safe instead of the global "__ip_vs_mutex" in current version. To this end, looking up services from different netns simultaneously will not get stuck, shortening the time consumption in large-scale deployment. It can be reproduced using the simple scripts below. init.sh: #!/bin/bash for((i=1;i<=4;i++));do ip netns add ns$i ip netns exec ns$i ip link set dev lo up ip netns exec ns$i sh add-services.sh done add-services.sh: #!/bin/bash for((i=0;i<30000;i++)); do ipvsadm -A -t 10.10.10.10:$((80+$i)) -s rr done runtest.sh: #!/bin/bash for((i=1;i<4;i++));do ip netns exec ns$i ipvsadm -ln > /dev/null & done ip netns exec ns4 ipvsadm -ln > /dev/null Run "sh init.sh" to initiate the network environment. Then run "time ./runtest.sh" to evaluate the time consumption. Our testbed is a 4-core Intel Xeon ECS.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

2026-02-17ipvs: do not keep dest_dst if dev is going downJulian Anastasov
There is race between the netdev notifier ip_vs_dst_event() and the code that caches dst with dev that is going down. As the FIB can be notified for the closed device after our handler finishes, it is possible valid route to be returned and cached resuling in a leaked dev reference until the dest is not removed. To prevent new dest_dst to be attached to dest just after the handler dropped the old one, add a netif_running() check to make sure the notifier handler is not currently running for device that is closing.

2025-12-10ipvs: fix ipv4 null-ptr-deref in route error pathSlavin Liu
The IPv4 code path in __ip_vs_get_out_rt() calls dst_link_failure() without ensuring skb->dev is set, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in fib_compute_spec_dst() when ipv4_link_failure() attempts to send ICMP destination unreachable messages. The issue emerged after commit ed0de45a1008 ("ipv4: recompile ip options in ipv4_link_failure") started calling __ip_options_compile() from ipv4_link_failure(). This code path eventually calls fib_compute_spec_dst() which dereferences skb->dev. An attempt was made to fix the NULL skb->dev dereference in commit 0113d9c9d1cc ("ipv4: fix null-deref in ipv4_link_failure"), but it only addressed the immediate dev_net(skb->dev) dereference by using a fallback device. The fix was incomplete because fib_compute_spec_dst() later in the call chain still accesses skb->dev directly, which remains NULL when IPVS calls dst_link_failure(). The crash occurs when: 1. IPVS processes a packet in NAT mode with a misconfigured destination 2. Route lookup fails in __ip_vs_get_out_rt() before establishing a route 3. The error path calls dst_link_failure(skb) with skb->dev == NULL 4. ipv4_link_failure() → ipv4_send_dest_unreach() → __ip_options_compile() → fib_compute_spec_dst() 5. fib_compute_spec_dst() dereferences NULL skb->dev Apply the same fix used for IPv6 in commit 326bf17ea5d4 ("ipvs: fix ipv6 route unreach panic"): set skb->dev from skb_dst(skb)->dev before calling dst_link_failure().

2025-11-28net: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macroHeiko Carstens
The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel message catalog" from 2008 [1] which never made it upstream. The macro was added to s390 code to allow for an out-of-tree patch which used this to generate unique message ids. Also this out-of-tree patch doesn't exist anymore. The pattern of how the KMSG_COMPONENT macro is used can also be found at some non s390 specific code, for whatever reasons. Besides adding an indirection it is unused. Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace all users with the string it defines. In all cases this leads to a simple replacement like this: - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "af_iucv" - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "af_iucv: " fmt [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/292650/ Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Alexandra Winter <wintera@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Acked-by: Sidraya Jayagond <sidraya@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251126140705.1944278-1-hca@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

On the netns cleanup path, __ip_vs_ftp_exit() may unregister ip_vs_ftp before connections with valid cp->app pointers are flushed, leading to a use-after-free.

2025-09-11ipvs: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for ipvs->enableZhang Tengfei
KCSAN reported a data-race on the `ipvs->enable` flag, which is written in the control path and read concurrently from many other contexts. Following a suggestion by Julian, this patch fixes the race by converting all accesses to use `WRITE_ONCE()/READ_ONCE()`. This lightweight approach ensures atomic access and acts as a compiler barrier, preventing unsafe optimizations where the flag is checked in loops (e.g., in ip_vs_est.c). Additionally, the `enable` checks in the fast-path hooks (`ip_vs_in_hook`, `ip_vs_out_hook`, `ip_vs_forward_icmp`) are removed. These are unnecessary since commit 857ca89711de ("ipvs: register hooks only with services"). The `enable=0` condition they check for can only occur in two rare and non-fatal scenarios: 1) after hooks are registered but before the flag is set, and 2) after hooks are unregistered on cleanup_net. In the worst case, a single packet might be mishandled (e.g., dropped), which does not lead to a system crash or data corruption. Adding a check in the performance-critical fast-path to handle this harmless condition is not a worthwhile trade-off.

2025-03-12ipvs: prevent integer overflow in do_ip_vs_get_ctl()Dan Carpenter
The get->num_services variable is an unsigned int which is controlled by the user. The struct_size() function ensures that the size calculation does not overflow an unsigned long, however, we are saving the result to an int so the calculation can overflow. Both "len" and "get->num_services" come from the user. This check is just a sanity check to help the user and ensure they are using the API correctly. An integer overflow here is not a big deal. This has no security impact. Save the result from struct_size() type size_t to fix this integer overflow bug.

2025-01-05ipvs: speed up reads from ip_vs_conn proc fileFlorian Westphal
Reading is very slow because ->start() performs a linear re-scan of the entire hash table until it finds the successor to the last dumped element. The current implementation uses 'pos' as the 'number of elements to skip, then does linear iteration until it has skipped 'pos' entries. Store the last bucket and the number of elements to skip in that bucket instead, so we can resume from bucket b directly. before this patch, its possible to read ~35k entries in one second, but each read() gets slower as the number of entries to skip grows: time timeout 60 cat /proc/net/ip_vs_conn > /tmp/all; wc -l /tmp/all real 1m0.007s user 0m0.003s sys 0m59.956s 140386 /tmp/all Only ~100k more got read in remaining the remaining 59s, and did not get nowhere near the 1m entries that are stored at the time. after this patch, dump completes very quickly: time cat /proc/net/ip_vs_conn > /tmp/all; wc -l /tmp/all real 0m2.286s user 0m0.004s sys 0m2.281s 1000001 /tmp/all Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
