bonding: 3ad: implement proper RCU rules for port->aggregator

2026-04-30T01:32:02Z

syzbot found a data-race in bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info / bond_3ad_state_machine_handler [1] which hints at lack of proper RCU implementation. Add __rcu qualifier to port->aggregator, and add proper RCU API.

net: add net_iov_init() and use it to initialize ->page_type

2026-04-29T23:40:08Z

Commit db359fccf212 ("mm: introduce a new page type for page pool in page type") added a page_type field to struct net_iov at the same offset as struct page::page_type, so that page_pool_set_pp_info() can call __SetPageNetpp() uniformly on both pages and net_iovs. The page-type API requires the field to hold the UINT_MAX "no type" sentinel before a type can be set; for real struct page that invariant is established by the page allocator on free. struct net_iov is not allocated through the page allocator, so the field is left as zero (io_uring zcrx, which uses __GFP_ZERO) or as slab garbage (devmem, which uses kvmalloc_objs() without zeroing). When the page pool then calls page_pool_set_pp_info() on a freshly-bound niov, __SetPageNetpp()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->page_type != UINT_MAX) fires and the kernel BUGs. Triggered in selftests by io_uring zcrx setup through the fbnic queue restart path: kernel BUG at ./include/linux/page-flags.h:1062! RIP: 0010:page_pool_set_pp_info (./include/linux/page-flags.h:1062 net/core/page_pool.c:716) Call Trace: net_mp_niov_set_page_pool (net/core/page_pool.c:1360) io_pp_zc_alloc_netmems (io_uring/zcrx.c:1089 io_uring/zcrx.c:1110) fbnic_fill_bdq (./include/net/page_pool/helpers.h:160 drivers/net/ethernet/meta/fbnic/fbnic_txrx.c:906) __fbnic_nv_restart (drivers/net/ethernet/meta/fbnic/fbnic_txrx.c:2470 drivers/net/ethernet/meta/fbnic/fbnic_txrx.c:2874) fbnic_queue_start (drivers/net/ethernet/meta/fbnic/fbnic_txrx.c:2903) netdev_rx_queue_reconfig (net/core/netdev_rx_queue.c:137) __netif_mp_open_rxq (net/core/netdev_rx_queue.c:234) io_register_zcrx (io_uring/zcrx.c:818 io_uring/zcrx.c:903) __io_uring_register (io_uring/register.c:931) __do_sys_io_uring_register (io_uring/register.c:1029) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) The same path is reachable through devmem dmabuf binding via netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit() -> net_devmem_bind_dmabuf_to_queue(). Add a net_iov_init() helper that stamps ->owner, ->type and the ->page_type sentinel, and use it from both the devmem and io_uring zcrx niov init loops.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net: 1) IEEE1394 ARP payload contains no target hardware address in the ARP packet. Apparently, arp_tables was never updated to deal with IEEE1394 ARP properly. To deal with this, return no match in case the target hardware address selector is used, either for inverse or normal match. Moreover, arpt_mangle disallows mangling of the target hardware and IP address because, it is not worth to adjust the offset calculation to fix this, we suspect no users of arp_tables for this family. 2) Use list_del_rcu() to delete device hooks in nf_tables, this hook list is RCU protected, concurrent netlink dump readers can be walking on this list, fix it by adding a helper function and use it for consistency. From Florian Westphal. 3) Add list_splice_rcu(), this is useful for joining the local list of new device hooks to the RCU protected hook list in chain and flowtable. Reviewed by Paul E. McKenney. 4) Use list_splice_rcu() to publish the new device hooks in chain and flowtable to fix concurrent netlink dump traversal. 5) Add a new hook transaction object to track device hook deletions. The current approach moves device hooks to be deleted around during the preparation phase, this breaks concurrent RCU reader via netlink dump. This new hook transaction is combined with NFT_HOOK_REMOVE flag to annotate hooks for removal in the preparation phase. 6) xt_policy inbound policy check in strict mode can lead to out-of-bound access of the secpath array due to incorrect. The iteration over the secpath needs to be reversed in the inbound to check for the human readable policy, expecting inner in first position and outer in second position, the secpath from inbound actually stores outer in first position then in second position. From Jiexun Wang. 7) Fix possible zero shift in nft_bitwise triggering UBSAN splat, reject zero shift from control plane, from Kai Ma. 8) Replace simple_strtoul() in the conntrack SIP helper since it relies on nul-terminated strings. From Florian Westphal. * tag 'nf-26-04-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf: netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: don't use simple_strtoul netfilter: reject zero shift in nft_bitwise netfilter: xt_policy: fix strict mode inbound policy matching netfilter: nf_tables: add hook transactions for device deletions netfilter: nf_tables: join hook list via splice_list_rcu() in commit phase rculist: add list_splice_rcu() for private lists netfilter: nf_tables: use list_del_rcu for netlink hooks netfilter: arp_tables: fix IEEE1394 ARP payload parsing ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260428095840.51961-1-pablo@netfilter.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski: "Delete some obsolete networking code Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and noobs try to fix them. If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code. We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code behind us" * tag 'net-deletions' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: drivers: net: 8390: wd80x3: Remove this driver drivers: net: 8390: ultra: Remove this driver drivers: net: 8390: AX88190: Remove this driver drivers: net: fujitsu: fmvj18x: Remove this driver drivers: net: smsc: smc91c92: Remove this driver drivers: net: smsc: smc9194: Remove this driver drivers: net: amd: nmclan: Remove this driver drivers: net: amd: lance: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c589: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c574: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c515: Remove this driver drivers: net: 3com: 3c509: Remove this driver net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dir net: packetengines: remove obsolete hamachi driver net: remove unused ATM protocols and legacy ATM device drivers net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem net: remove ISDN subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP caif: remove CAIF NETWORK LAYER
