Right now, the only way to iterate stations is to declare an
iterator function, possibly data structure to use, and pass all
that to the iteration helper function. This is annoying, and
there's really no inherent need for it.
Add a new for_each_station() macro that does the iteration in
a more ergonomic way. To avoid even more exported functions, do
the old ieee80211_iterate_stations_mtx() as an inline using the
new way, which may also let the compiler optimise it a bit more,
e.g. via inlining the iterator function.

NULL pointer dereference fix.
msg_get_inq is an input field from caller to callee. Don't set it in
the callee, as the caller may not clear it on struct reuse.
This is a kernel-internal variant of msghdr only, and the only user
does reinitialize the field. So this is not critical for that reason.
But it is more robust to avoid the write, and slightly simpler code.
And it fixes a bug, see below.
Callers set msg_get_inq to request the input queue length to be
returned in msg_inq. This is equivalent to but independent from the
SO_INQ request to return that same info as a cmsg (tp->recvmsg_inq).
To reduce branching in the hot path the second also sets the msg_inq.
That is WAI.
This is a fix to commit 4d1442979e ("af_unix: don't post cmsg for
SO_INQ unless explicitly asked for"), which fixed the inverse.
Also avoid NULL pointer dereference in unix_stream_read_generic if
state->msg is NULL and msg->msg_get_inq is written. A NULL state->msg
can happen when splicing as of commit 2b514574f7 ("net: af_unix:
implement splice for stream af_unix sockets").
Also collapse two branches using a bitwise or.

Userspace may fail to connect to certain BSS that were initially
marked as unusable due to regulatory restrictions (use_for = 0,
e.g., 6 GHz power type mismatch). Even after these restrictions
are removed and the BSS becomes usable, connection attempts still
fail.
The issue occurs in cfg80211_update_known_bss() where the use_for
flag is updated using bitwise AND (&=) instead of direct assignment.
Once a BSS is marked with use_for = 0, the AND operation masks out
any subsequent non-zero values, permanently keeping the flag at 0.
This causes __cfg80211_get_bss(), invoked by nl80211_assoc_bss(), to
fail the check "(bss->pub.use_for & use_for) != use_for", thereby
blocking association.
Replace the bitwise AND operation with direct assignment so the use_for
flag accurately reflects the current BSS state.

Currently, whenever cfg80211_stop_iface() is called, the entire iface
is stopped. However, there could be a need in AP/P2P_GO mode, where
one would like to stop a single link in MLO operation instead of the
whole MLD interface.
Hence, introduce cfg80211_stop_link() to allow drivers to tear down
only a specified AP/P2P_GO link during MLO operation. Passing -1
preserves the existing behavior of stopping the whole interface. Make
cfg80211_stop_iface() call this function by passing -1 to keep the
default behavior the same, that is, to stop all links and use
cfg80211_stop_link() with the desired link_id for AP/P2P_GO mode, to
stop only that link.
This brings no behavioral change for single-link/non-MLO interfaces,
and enables drivers to stop an AP/P2P_GO link without disrupting other
links on the same interface.

IPv6 addresses with the same scope are returned in reverse insertion
order, unlike IPv4. For example, when adding a -> b -> c, the list is
reported as c -> b -> a, while IPv4 preserves the original order.
This behavior causes:
a. When using `ip -6 a save` and `ip -6 a restore`, addresses are restored
in the opposite order from which they were saved. See example below
showing addresses added as 1::1, 1::2, 1::3 but displayed and saved

b. Addresses in pasta to appear in reversed order compared to host

The ipv6 addresses were added in reverse order by commit e55ffac601
("[IPV6]: order addresses by scope"), then it was changed by commit
502a2ffd73 ("ipv6: convert idev_list to list macros"), and restored by
commit b54c9b98bb ("ipv6: Preserve pervious behavior in
ipv6_link_dev_addr()."). However, this reverse ordering within the same
scope causes inconsistency with IPv4 and the issues described above.
This patch aligns IPv6 address ordering with IPv4 for consistency
by changing the comparison from >= to > when inserting addresses
into the address list. Also updates the ioam6 selftest to reflect
the new address ordering behavior. Combine these two changes into
one patch for bisectability.

When skb_segment_list() is called during packet forwarding, it handles
packets that were aggregated by the GRO engine.
Historically, the segmentation logic in skb_segment_list assumes that
individual segments are split from a parent SKB and may need to carry
their own socket memory accounting. Accordingly, the code transfers
truesize from the parent to the newly created segments.
Prior to commit ed4cccef64 ("gro: fix ownership transfer"), this
truesize subtraction in skb_segment_list() was valid because fragments
still carry a reference to the original socket.
However, commit ed4cccef64 ("gro: fix ownership transfer") changed
this behavior by ensuring that fraglist entries are explicitly
orphaned (skb->sk = NULL) to prevent illegal orphaning later in the
stack. This change meant that the entire socket memory charge remained
with the head SKB, but the corresponding accounting logic in
skb_segment_list() was never updated.
As a result, the current code unconditionally adds each fragment's
truesize to delta_truesize and subtracts it from the parent SKB. Since
the fragments are no longer charged to the socket, this subtraction
results in an effective under-count of memory when the head is freed.
This causes sk_wmem_alloc to remain non-zero, preventing socket
destruction and leading to a persistent memory leak.
The leak can be observed via KMEMLEAK when tearing down the networking
environment:
unreferenced object 0xffff8881e6eb9100 (size 2048):
comm "ping", pid 6720, jiffies 4295492526
backtrace:
kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x5c6/0x800
sk_prot_alloc+0x5b/0x220
sk_alloc+0x35/0xa00
inet6_create.part.0+0x303/0x10d0
__sock_create+0x248/0x640
__sys_socket+0x11b/0x1d0
Since skb_segment_list() is exclusively used for SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST
packets constructed by GRO, the truesize adjustment is removed.
The call to skb_release_head_state() must be preserved. As documented in
commit cf673ed0e0 ("net: fix fraglist segmentation reference count
leak"), it is still required to correctly drop references to SKB
extensions that may be overwritten during __copy_skb_header().

Whenever a mirred redirect to self on egress happens, mirred allocates a
new skb (skb_to_send). The loop to self check was done after that
allocation, but was not freeing the newly allocated skb, causing a leak.
Fix this by moving the if-statement to before the allocation of the new
skb.
The issue was found by running the accompanying tdc test in 2/2
with config kmemleak enabled.
After a few minutes the kmemleak thread ran and reported the leak coming from
mirred.

At the current moment, the logs for martian packets are as follows:
```
martian source {DST} from {SRC}, on dev {DEV}
martian destination {DST} from {SRC}, dev {DEV}
```
These messages feel rather hard to understand in production, especially
the "martian source" one, mostly because it is grammatically ambitious
to parse which part is now the source address and which part is the
destination address. For example, "{DST}" may there be interpreted as
the actual source address due to following the word "source", thereby
implying the actual source address to be the destination one.
Personally, I discovered this bug while toying around with TUN
interfaces and using them as a tunnel (receiving packets via a TUN
interface and sending them over a TCP stream; receiving packets from a
TCP stream and writing them to a TUN).[^1]
When these IP addresses contained local IPs (i.e. 10.0.0.0/8 in source
and destination), everything worked fine. However, sending them to a
real routable IP address on the internet led to them being treated as a
martian packet, obviously. Using a few sysctl(8) and iptables(8)
settings[^2] fixed it, but while debugging I found the log message
starting with "martian source" rather confusing, as I was unsure on
whether the packet that gets dropped was the packet originating from me
or the response from the endpoint, as "martian source <ROUTABLE IP>"
could also be falsely interpreted as the response packet being martian,
due to the word "source" followed by the routable IP address, implying
the source address of that packet is set to this IP, as explained above.
In the end, I had to look into the source code of the kernel on where
this error message gets generated, which is usually an indicator of
there being room for improvement with regard to this error message.
In terms of improvement, this commit changes the error messages for
martian source and martian destination packets as follows:
```
martian source (src={SRC}, dst={DST}, dev={DEV})
martian destination (src={SRC}, dst={DST}, dev={DEV})
```
These new wordings leave pretty much no room for ambiguity as all
parameters are prefixed with a respective key explaining their semantic
meaning.

Jakub added a warning in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() to make debugging
leaked skbs/conntrack references more obvious.
syzbot reports this as triggering, and I can also reproduce this via
ip_defrag.sh selftest:
conntrack cleanup blocked for 60s
WARNING: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:2512
[..]
conntrack clenups gets stuck because there are skbs with still hold nf_conn
references via their frag_list.
net.core.skb_defer_max=0 makes the hang disappear.
Eric Dumazet points out that skb_release_head_state() doesn't follow the
fraglist.
ip_defrag.sh can only reproduce this problem since
commit 6471658dc6 ("udp: use skb_attempt_defer_free()"), but AFAICS this
problem could happen with TCP as well if pmtu discovery is off.
The relevant problem path for udp is:
1. netns emits fragmented packets
2. nf_defrag_v6_hook reassembles them (in output hook)
3. reassembled skb is tracked (skb owns nf_conn reference)
4. ip6_output refragments
5. refragmented packets also own nf_conn reference (ip6_fragment
calls ip6_copy_metadata())
6. on input path, nf_defrag_v6_hook skips defragmentation: the
fragments already have skb->nf_conn attached
7. skbs are reassembled via ipv6_frag_rcv()
8. skb_consume_udp -> skb_attempt_defer_free() -> skb ends up
in pcpu freelist, but still has nf_conn reference.
Possible solutions:
1 let defrag engine drop nf_conn entry, OR
2 export kick_defer_list_purge() and call it from the conntrack
netns exit callback, OR
3 add skb_has_frag_list() check to skb_attempt_defer_free()
2 & 3 also solve ip_defrag.sh hang but share same drawback:
Such reassembled skbs, queued to socket, can prevent conntrack module
removal until userspace has consumed the packet. While both tcp and udp
stack do call nf_reset_ct() before placing skb on socket queue, that
function doesn't iterate frag_list skbs.
Therefore drop nf_conn entries when they are placed in defrag queue.
Keep the nf_conn entry of the first (offset 0) skb so that reassembled
skb retains nf_conn entry for sake of TX path.
Note that fixes tag is incorrect; it points to the commit introducing the
'ip_defrag.sh reproducible problem': no need to backport this patch to
every stable kernel.

When using an 802.1ad bridge with vlan_tunnel, the C-VLAN tag is
incorrectly stripped from frames during egress processing.
br_handle_egress_vlan_tunnel() uses skb_vlan_pop() to remove the S-VLAN
from hwaccel before VXLAN encapsulation. However, skb_vlan_pop() also
moves any "next" VLAN from the payload into hwaccel:
/* move next vlan tag to hw accel tag */
__skb_vlan_pop(skb, &vlan_tci);
__vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, vlan_proto, vlan_tci);
For QinQ frames where the C-VLAN sits in the payload, this moves it to
hwaccel where it gets lost during VXLAN encapsulation.
Fix by calling __vlan_hwaccel_clear_tag() directly, which clears only
the hwaccel S-VLAN and leaves the payload untouched.
This path is only taken when vlan_tunnel is enabled and tunnel_info
is configured, so 802.1Q bridges are unaffected.
Tested with 802.1ad bridge + VXLAN vlan_tunnel, verified C-VLAN
preserved in VXLAN payload via tcpdump.

Currently last_gc is being updated everytime a new connection is
tracked, that means that it is updated even if a GC wasn't performed.
With a sufficiently high packet rate, it is possible to always bypass
the GC, causing the list to grow infinitely.
Update the last_gc value only when a GC has been actually performed.

In nf_tables_newrule(), if nft_use_inc() fails, the function jumps to
the err_release_rule label without freeing the allocated flow, leading
to a memory leak.
Fix this by adding a new label err_destroy_flow and jumping to it when
nft_use_inc() fails. This ensures that the flow is properly released
in this error case.

The -EEXIST error code is reserved by the module loading infrastructure
to indicate that a module is already loaded. When a module's init
function returns -EEXIST, userspace tools like kmod interpret this as
"module already loaded" and treat the operation as successful, returning
0 to the user even though the module initialization actually failed.
Replace -EEXIST with -EBUSY to ensure correct error reporting in the module
initialization path.
Affected modules:
* ebtable_broute ebtable_filter ebtable_nat arptable_filter
* ip6table_filter ip6table_mangle ip6table_nat ip6table_raw
* ip6table_security iptable_filter iptable_mangle iptable_nat

set->klen has to be used, not sizeof(). The latter only compares a
single register but a full check of the entire key is needed.
Example:
table ip t {
map s {
typeof iifname . ip saddr : verdict
flags interval
}
}
nft add element t s '{ "lo" . 10.0.0.0/24 : drop }' # no error, expected
nft add element t s '{ "lo" . 10.0.0.0/24 : drop }' # no error, expected
nft add element t s '{ "lo" . 10.0.0.0/8 : drop }' # bug: no error
The 3rd 'add element' should be rejected via -ENOTEMPTY, not -EEXIST,
so userspace / nft can report an error to the user.
The latter is only correct for the 2nd case (re-add of existing element).
As-is, userspace is told that the command was successful, but no elements were
added.
After this patch, 3rd command gives:
Error: Could not process rule: File exists
add element t s { "lo" . 127.0.0.0/8 . "lo" : drop }

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, after rt6_get_pcpu_route() returns NULL, the
current task can be preempted. Another task running on the same CPU
may then execute rt6_make_pcpu_route() and successfully install a
pcpu_rt entry. When the first task resumes execution, its cmpxchg()
in rt6_make_pcpu_route() will fail because rt6i_pcpu is no longer
NULL, triggering the BUG_ON(prev). It's easy to reproduce it by adding
mdelay() after rt6_get_pcpu_route().
Using preempt_disable/enable is not appropriate here because
ip6_rt_pcpu_alloc() may sleep.
Fix this by handling the cmpxchg() failure gracefully on PREEMPT_RT:
free our allocation and return the existing pcpu_rt installed by
another task. The BUG_ON is replaced by WARN_ON_ONCE for non-PREEMPT_RT
kernels where such races should not occur.

rose_kill_by_device() collects sockets into a local array[] and then
iterates over them to disconnect sockets bound to a device being brought
down.
The loop mistakenly indexes array[cnt] instead of array[i]. For cnt <
ARRAY_SIZE(array), this reads an uninitialized entry; for cnt ==
ARRAY_SIZE(array), it is an out-of-bounds read. Either case can lead to
an invalid socket pointer dereference and also leaks references taken
via sock_hold().
Fix the index to use i.

Preference of nexthop with source address broke ECMP for packets with
source addresses which are not in the broadcast domain, but rather added
to loopback/dummy interfaces. Original behaviour was to balance over
nexthops while now it uses the latest nexthop from the group. To fix the
issue introduce next hop scoring system where next hops with source
address equal to requested will always have higher priority.
For the case with 198.51.100.1/32 assigned to dummy0 and routed using
192.0.2.0/24 and 203.0.113.0/24 networks:

When a nexthop object is deleted, it is marked as dead and then
fib_table_flush() is called to flush all the routes that are using the
dead nexthop.
The current logic in fib_table_flush() is to only flush error routes
(e.g., blackhole) when it is called as part of network namespace
dismantle (i.e., with flush_all=true). Therefore, error routes are not
flushed when their nexthop object is deleted:
# ip link add name dummy1 up type dummy
# ip nexthop add id 1 dev dummy1
# ip route add 198.51.100.1/32 nhid 1
# ip route add blackhole 198.51.100.2/32 nhid 1
# ip nexthop del id 1
# ip route show
blackhole 198.51.100.2 nhid 1 dev dummy1
As such, they keep holding a reference on the nexthop object which in
turn holds a reference on the nexthop device, resulting in a reference
count leak:
# ip link del dev dummy1
[ 70.516258] unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy1 to become free. Usage count = 2
Fix by flushing error routes when their nexthop is marked as dead.
IPv6 does not suffer from this problem.

There exists a kernel oops caused by a BUG_ON(nhead < 0) at
net/core/skbuff.c:2232 in pskb_expand_head().
This bug is triggered as part of the calipso_skbuff_setattr()
routine when skb_cow() is passed headroom > INT_MAX
(i.e. (int)(skb_headroom(skb) + len_delta) < 0).
The root cause of the bug is due to an implicit integer cast in
__skb_cow(). The check (headroom > skb_headroom(skb)) is meant to ensure
that delta = headroom - skb_headroom(skb) is never negative, otherwise
we will trigger a BUG_ON in pskb_expand_head(). However, if
headroom > INT_MAX and delta <= -NET_SKB_PAD, the check passes, delta
becomes negative, and pskb_expand_head() is passed a negative value for
nhead.
Fix the trigger condition in calipso_skbuff_setattr(). Avoid passing
"negative" headroom sizes to skb_cow() within calipso_skbuff_setattr()
by only using skb_cow() to grow headroom.
PoC:
Using `netlabelctl` tool:
netlabelctl map del default
netlabelctl calipso add pass doi:7
netlabelctl map add default address:0::1/128 protocol:calipso,7

int fd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);

A previous commit added SO_INQ support for AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM), but it
posts a SCM_INQ cmsg even if just msg->msg_get_inq is set. This is
incorrect, as ->msg_get_inq is just the caller asking for the remainder
to be passed back in msg->msg_inq, it has nothing to do with cmsg. The
original commit states that this is done to make sockets
io_uring-friendly", but it's actually incorrect as io_uring doesn't use
cmsg headers internally at all, and it's actively wrong as this means
that cmsg's are always posted if someone does recvmsg via io_uring.
Fix that up by only posting a cmsg if u->recvmsg_inq is set.
Additionally, mirror how TCP handles inquiry handling in that it should
only be done for a successful return. This makes the logic for the two
identical.
