2026-04-10net: bridge: add stp_mode attribute for STP mode selectionAndy Roulin-0/+12
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.

2026-04-09netkit: Add single device mode for netkitDaniel Borkmann-0/+11
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.

2026-04-09net: Add queue-create operationDaniel Borkmann-0/+46
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.

2026-03-19net: shaper: protect from late creation of hierarchyJakub Kicinski-6/+6
We look up a netdev during prep of Netlink ops (pre- callbacks) and take a ref to it. Then later in the body of the callback we take its lock or RCU which are the actual protections. The netdev may get unregistered in between the time we take the ref and the time we lock it. We may allocate the hierarchy after flush has already run, which would lead to a leak. Take the instance lock in pre- already, this saves us from the race and removes the need for dedicated lock/unlock callbacks completely. After all, if there's any chance of write happening concurrently with the flush - we're back to leaking the hierarchy. We may take the lock for devices which don't support shapers but we're only dealing with SET operations here, not taking the lock would be optimizing for an error case.

2026-03-17ovpn: add support for asymmetric peer IDsRalf Lici-1/+16
In order to support the multipeer architecture, upon connection setup each side of a tunnel advertises a unique ID that the other side must include in packets sent to them. Therefore when transmitting a packet, a peer inserts the recipient's advertised ID for that specific tunnel into the peer ID field. When receiving a packet, a peer expects to find its own unique receive ID for that specific tunnel in the peer ID field. Add support for the TX peer ID and embed it into transmitting packets. If no TX peer ID is specified, fallback to using the same peer ID both for RX and TX in order to be compatible with the non-multipeer compliant peers.

2026-03-05drm/ras: Introduce the DRM RAS infrastructure over generic netlinkRodrigo Vivi-0/+115
Introduces the DRM RAS infrastructure over generic netlink. The new interface allows drivers to expose RAS nodes and their associated error counters to userspace in a structured and extensible way. Each drm_ras node can register its own set of error counters, which are then discoverable and queryable through netlink operations. This lays the groundwork for reporting and managing hardware error states in a unified manner across different DRM drivers. Currently it only supports error-counter nodes. But it can be extended later. The registration is also not tied to any drm node, so it can be used by accel devices as well. It uses the new and mandatory YAML description format stored in Documentation/netlink/specs/. This forces a single generic netlink family namespace for the entire drm: "drm-ras". But multiple-endpoints are supported within the single family. Any modification to this API needs to be applied to Documentation/netlink/specs/drm_ras.yaml before regenerating the code: $ tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_c.py --spec \ Documentation/netlink/specs/drm_ras.yaml --mode uapi --header \ -o include/uapi/drm/drm_ras.h $ tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_c.py --spec \ Documentation/netlink/specs/drm_ras.yaml --mode kernel \ --header -o drivers/gpu/drm/drm_ras_nl.h $ tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_c.py --spec \ Documentation/netlink/specs/drm_ras.yaml \ --mode kernel --source -o drivers/gpu/drm/drm_ras_nl.c Cc: Zack McKevitt <zachary.mckevitt@oss.qualcomm.com> Cc: Lijo Lazar <lijo.lazar@amd.com> Cc: Hawking Zhang <Hawking.Zhang@amd.com> Cc: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Cc: David S.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "Neil Brown and Jeff Layton contributed a dynamic thread pool sizing mechanism for NFSD. The sunrpc layer now tracks minimum and maximum thread counts per pool, and NFSD adjusts running thread counts based on workload: idle threads exit after a timeout when the pool exceeds its minimum, and new threads spawn automatically when all threads are busy. Administrators control this behavior via the nfsdctl netlink interface. Rick Macklem, FreeBSD NFS maintainer, generously contributed server- side support for the POSIX ACL extension to NFSv4, as specified in draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls. This extension allows NFSv4 clients to get and set POSIX access and default ACLs using native NFSv4 operations, eliminating the need for sideband protocols. The feature is gated by a Kconfig option since the IETF draft has not yet been ratified. Chuck Lever delivered numerous improvements to the xdrgen tool. Error reporting now covers parsing, AST transformation, and invalid declarations. Generated enum decoders validate incoming values against valid enumerator lists. New features include pass-through line support for embedding C directives in XDR specifications, 16-bit integer types, and program number definitions. Several code generation issues were also addressed. When an administrator revokes NFSv4 state for a filesystem via the unlock_fs interface, ongoing async COPY operations referencing that filesystem are now cancelled, with CB_OFFLOAD callbacks notifying affected clients. The remaining patches in this pull request are clean-ups and minor optimizations.

2026-01-29dpll: expose fractional frequency offset in pptIvan Vecera-0/+11
Currently, the dpll subsystem exports the fractional frequency offset (FFO) in parts per million (ppm). This granularity is insufficient for high-precision synchronization scenarios which often require parts per trillion (ppt) resolution. Add a new netlink attribute DPLL_A_PIN_FRACTIONAL_FREQUENCY_OFFSET_PPT to expose the FFO in ppt. Update the dpll netlink core to expect the driver-provided FFO value to be in ppt. To maintain backward compatibility with existing userspace tools, populate the legacy DPLL_A_PIN_FRACTIONAL_FREQUENCY_OFFSET attribute by dividing the new ppt value by 1,000,000. Update the zl3073x and mlx5 drivers to provide the FFO value in ppt: - zl3073x: adjust the fixed-point calculation to produce ppt (10^12) instead of ppm (10^6). - mlx5: scale the existing ppm value by 1,000,000.

2026-01-20net: Add queue-create operationDaniel Borkmann-0/+44
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_queue 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 currently only intended for dumping as part of the queue-get operation. Also, it is modeled as an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.

2026-01-13net/sched: sch_cake: share shaper state across sub-instances of cake_mqJonas Köppeler-0/+3
This commit adds shared shaper state across the cake instances beneath a cake_mq qdisc. It works by periodically tracking the number of active instances, and scaling the configured rate by the number of active queues. The scan is lockless and simply reads the qlen and the last_active state variable of each of the instances configured beneath the parent cake_mq instance. Locking is not required since the values are only updated by the owning instance, and eventual consistency is sufficient for the purpose of estimating the number of active queues. The interval for scanning the number of active queues is set to 200 us. We found this to be a good tradeoff between overhead and response time.

2026-01-09PM: EM: Add dump to get-perf-domains in the EM YNL specChangwoo Min-13/+12
Add dump to get-perf-domains, so that a user can fetch either information about a specific performance domain with do or information about all performance domains with dump. Share the reply format of do and dump using perf-domain-attrs, so remove perf-domains. The YNL spec, autogenerated files, and the do implementation are updated, and the dump implementation is added.

2026-01-09PM: EM: Change cpus' type from string to u64 array in the EM YNL specChangwoo Min-1/+2
Previously, the cpus attribute was a string format which was a "%*pb" stringification of a bitmap. That is not very consumable for a UAPI, so let’s change it to an u64 array of CPU ids.

2026-01-09PM: EM: Rename em.yaml to dev-energymodel.yamlChangwoo Min-116/+175
The EM YNL specification used many acronyms, including ‘em’, ‘pd’, ‘ps’, etc. While the acronyms are short and convenient, they could be confusing. So, let’s spell them out to be more specific. The following changes were made in the spec. Note that the protocol name cannot exceed GENL_NAMSIZ (16). em -> dev-energymodel pds -> perf-domains pd -> perf-domain pd-id -> perf-domain-id pd-table -> perf-table ps -> perf-state get-pds -> get-perf-domains get-pd-table -> get-perf-table pd-created -> perf-domain-created pd-updated -> perf-domain-updated pd-deleted -> perf-domain-deleted In addition. doc strings were added to the spec. based on the comments in energy_model.h. Two flag attributes (perf-state-flags and perf-domain-flags) were added for easily interpreting the bit flags. Finally, the autogenerated files and em_netlink.c were updated accordingly to reflect the name changes.

2026-01-05netlink: specs: netdev: clarify the page pool API a littleJakub Kicinski-2/+4
The phrasing of the page-pool-get doc is very confusing. It's supposed to highlight that support depends on the driver doing its part but it sounds like orphaned page pools won't be visible. The description of the ifindex is completely wrong. We move the page pool to loopback and skip the attribute if ifindex is loopback.
