net: bridge: add stp_mode attribute for STP mode selection

2026-04-10T22:52:24Z

The bridge-stp usermode helper is currently restricted to the initial network namespace, preventing userspace STP daemons (e.g. mstpd) from operating on bridges in other network namespaces. Since commit ff62198553e4 ("bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network namespace"), bridges in non-init namespaces silently fall back to kernel STP with no way to use userspace STP. Add a new bridge attribute IFLA_BR_STP_MODE that allows explicit per-bridge control over STP mode selection: BR_STP_MODE_AUTO (default) - Existing behavior: invoke the /sbin/bridge-stp helper in init_net only; fall back to kernel STP if it fails or in non-init namespaces. BR_STP_MODE_USER - Directly enable userspace STP (BR_USER_STP) without invoking the helper. Works in any network namespace. Userspace is responsible for ensuring an STP daemon manages the bridge. BR_STP_MODE_KERNEL - Directly enable kernel STP (BR_KERNEL_STP) without invoking the helper. The mode can only be changed while STP is disabled, or set to the same value (-EBUSY otherwise). IFLA_BR_STP_MODE is processed before IFLA_BR_STP_STATE in br_changelink(), so both can be set atomically in a single netlink message. The mode can also be changed in the same message that disables STP. The stp_mode struct field is u8 since all possible values fit, while NLA_U32 is used for the netlink attribute since it occupies the same space in the netlink message as NLA_U8. A new stp_helper_active boolean tracks whether the /sbin/bridge-stp helper was invoked during br_stp_start(), so that br_stp_stop() only calls the helper for stop when it was called for start. This avoids calling the helper asymmetrically when stp_mode changes between start and stop.

netkit: Add single device mode for netkit

2026-04-10T01:21:47Z

Add a single device mode for netkit instead of netkit pairs. The primary target for the paired devices is to connect network namespaces, of course, and support has been implemented in projects like Cilium [0]. For the rxq leasing the plan is to support two main scenarios related to single device mode: * For the use-case of io_uring zero-copy, the control plane can either set up a netkit pair where the peer device can perform rxq leasing which is then tied to the lifetime of the peer device, or the control plane can use a regular netkit pair to connect the hostns to a Pod/container and dynamically add/remove rxq leasing through a single device without having to interrupt the device pair. In the case of io_uring, the memory pool is used as skb non-linear pages, and thus the skb will go its way through the regular stack into netkit. Things like the netkit policy when no BPF is attached or skb scrubbing etc apply as-is in case the paired devices are used, or if the backend memory is tied to the single device and traffic goes through a paired device. * For the use-case of AF_XDP, the control plane needs to use netkit in the single device mode. The single device mode currently enforces only a pass policy when no BPF is attached, and does not yet support BPF link attachments for AF_XDP. skbs sent to that device get dropped at the moment. Given AF_XDP operates at a lower layer of the stack tying this to the netkit pair did not make sense. In future, the plan is to allow BPF at the XDP layer which can: i) process traffic coming from the AF_XDP application (e.g. QEMU with AF_XDP backend) to filter egress traffic or to push selected egress traffic up to the single netkit device to the local stack (e.g. DHCP requests), and ii) vice-versa skbs sent to the single netkit into the AF_XDP application (e.g. DHCP replies). Also, the control-plane can dynamically manage rxq leasing for the single netkit device without having to interrupt (e.g. down/up cycle) the main netkit pair for the Pod which has traffic going in and out.

net: Add queue-create operation

2026-04-10T01:21:45Z

Add a ynl netdev family operation called queue-create that creates a new queue on a netdevice: name: queue-create attribute-set: queue flags: [admin-perm] do: request: attributes: - ifindex - type - lease reply: &queue-create-op attributes: - id This is a generic operation such that it can be extended for various use cases in future. Right now it is mandatory to specify ifindex, the queue type which is enforced to rx and a lease. The newly created queue id is returned to the caller. A queue from a virtual device can have a lease which refers to another queue from a physical device. This is useful for memory providers and AF_XDP operations which take an ifindex and queue id to allow applications to bind against virtual devices in containers. The lease couples both queues together and allows to proxy the operations from a virtual device in a container to the physical device. In future, the nested lease attribute can be lifted and made optional for other use-cases such as dynamic queue creation for physical netdevs. The lack of lease and the specification of the physical device as an ifindex will imply that we need a real queue to be allocated. Similarly, the queue type enforcement to rx can then be lifted as well to support tx. An early implementation had only driver-specific integration [0], but in order for other virtual devices to reuse, it makes sense to have this as a generic API in core net. For leasing queues, the virtual netdev must have real_num_rx_queues less than num_rx_queues at the time of calling queue-create. The queue-type must be rx as only rx queues are supported for leasing for now. We also enforce that the queue-create ifindex must point to a virtual device, and that the nested lease attribute's ifindex must point to a physical device. The nested lease attribute set contains a netns-id attribute which is optional and can specify a netns-id relative to the caller's netns. It requires cap_net_admin and if the netns-id attribute is not specified, the lease ifindex will be retrieved from the current netns. Also, it is modeled as an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.
