Another challenge with unlocked filters.
There is a short window in tc_new_tfilter where a tcf_proto can be found
and briefly referenced by a totally unrelated, unlocked classifier's request
and cause a race.
Feng created a poc which created this race with two threads, one creating a
u32 filter and other a flower filter in the same chain/prio:
1. Both threads enter tc_new_tfilter, both find the chain empty, both
drop filter_chain_lock
2. u32 finishes tcf_proto_create("u32") first, calls
tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> inserts u32_tp into the chain
3. flower finishes tcf_proto_create("flower") later, calls
tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> tcf_chain_tp_find() now sees u32_tp
already there, takes a reference on it, destroys flower's own tp_new
and returns u32_tp to the caller.
Flower then hits the kind mismatch check (because it requested for kind
"flower" but tp->ops->kind is "u32") and goes through the errout path
which calls tcf_proto_put() on u32_tp. If the u32 thread has already
gone through its own errout (its change() call failed on the PoC's empty
options) and dropped its create and insert refs, flower's put is the
last one and drops u32_tp's refcnt to zero.
At this point tp->ops->destroy() runs in a context that never took
rtnl_lock. When that happens, it might cause a UAF like the following
(illustrated by the PoC):

Fix this by having tcf_proto_destroy() take rtnl_lock around
tp->ops->destroy() for locked classifiers whenever rtnl is not held.
To explain why I used a temp variable "not_lockless" I'd like to point to a
semi-related note on rtnl_held vs TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED (adding here
for future cleanup if deemed necessary):
The rtnl_held parameter and the TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED flag are
redundant sources of truth for whether rtnl_lock is held. Among the nine
classifier destroy(..rtnl_held..) callbacks, only flower consults the
rtnl_held parameter which it propagates to tc_setup_cb_destroy()
and tc_setup_cb_call(). The other eight (u32, flow, bpf, cgroup, route, basic,
fw, mall) ignore it entirely;-> those that call tc_setup_cb_destroy()
(u32, bpf, mall) hardcode true always instead of forwarding the parameter.
A future cleanup should remove the rtnl_held parameter from the destroy callback
signature entirely and have callers rely solely on their knowledge whether
they are running in an unlocked context.

When a packet arrives on an ARPHRD_NONE device (e.g. TUN),
ovs_flow_key_extract() trusts the user-provided skb->protocol field: if
it is ETH_P_TEB, the packet is classified as MAC_PROTO_ETHERNET and
key_extract() is called without ensuring the skb has ETH_HLEN (14) bytes
of linear data. key_extract() unconditionally pulls 2 * ETH_ALEN bytes
for MAC addresses and parse_ethertype() pulls 2 more, either of which
triggers a kernel BUG in __skb_pull() when the linear area is too small.

packet_set_ring() updates the RX ring state under sk_receive_queue.lock,
but used to publish the tpacket receive mode through po->prot_hook.func
after releasing that lock. packet_poll() and packet_recvmsg() can then
run the pressure clearing path after the ring has been cleared while
still seeing tpacket_rcv, causing __packet_rcv_has_room() to dereference
stale or NULL ring storage.
Move the existing receive hook assignment into the same
sk_receive_queue.lock section as the ring state update. Keep the
assignment otherwise unchanged, including on TX ring reconfiguration, to
avoid adding behavior changes that are not required for the fix.
Serialize packet_recvmsg() pressure clearing with the same queue lock
only after PACKET_SOCK_PRESSURE has been observed. If the flag is clear
and the socket has moved away from tpacket_rcv, packet_set_ring() has
already detached the socket and waited for synchronize_net(), so no new
packet input can set the flag again.
packet_poll() already holds sk_receive_queue.lock, so it uses the new
unlocked helper directly.

The sch_cake ACK filter parses packets to find the TCP header and filter
duplicated ACKs if the flow is backlogged. The parsing code contains a

cases. Depending on the system configuration, this leads either to
either spamming dmesg with warnings, or a panic if panic_on_warn is set.

Both fields are u32, so a udata_len smaller than udata_offset makes the

smc_rx_splice() passes pages to splice_to_pipe() before taking the

smc_rx_spd_release(), while queued entries are released later via the
pipe buffer callback.
The old post-splice accounting also derives the number of queued VM pages
from an offset mutated while building the descriptor, and a multi-page
splice pairs one sock_hold() with multiple sock_put() calls.
Take the page and socket references for every candidate entry before
splice_to_pipe(), and drop the matching private state, page reference,

When the interface has NETIF_F_SG enabled and skb_linearize() fails in
ax88179_tx_fixup(), the function returns NULL without freeing the skb.
usbnet_start_xmit() treats a NULL return from tx_fixup() as a drop
(info->flags does not set FLAG_MULTI_PACKET for this driver), jumping
to the "drop" label where it does `if (skb) dev_kfree_skb_any(skb)`.
Because tx_fixup() returned NULL, the local skb variable in
usbnet_start_xmit() is NULL, so the original skb is never freed — a
memory leak on every TX frame whose linearization fails (i.e. under
memory pressure).
Free the skb before returning, matching the error handling already used
for the pskb_expand_head() failure path in the same function.

xsk: harden TX metadata validation against races
Cen Zhang reported a KASAN out-of-bounds read when AF_XDP is configured
with a TX metadata area smaller than struct xsk_tx_metadata. The metadata
is also shared with user space, so reading its flags more than once can
produce inconsistent validation and processing decisions.
Require enough space for the flags and one request field, validate the
launch-time field against the configured metadata length, and use one
snapshot of the flags while processing each request. Carry the validated
decision through completion handling so later user-space changes cannot
enable an unrequested completion timestamp.

User space can change metadata flags after request processing. Rereading
them during completion can therefore make the kernel write a timestamp
that was not requested when the packet was submitted.
Clear the metadata pointer during request processing unless timestamp
completion is requested. Completion handling can then use the pointer
itself instead of rereading the flags.
On the mlx5 multi-packet WQE path metadata is evaluated per batch:
xsk_tx_metadata_request() runs only for the descriptor that starts a
session, just like the checksum offload that is applied once through the
shared WQE. Only that descriptor's pointer is reset, so completion
handling can record a timestamp for the other descriptors of the session
regardless of their own XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP bit. The write stays
inside the metadata area; the single-WQE, other zero-copy, and generic
paths reset the pointer per descriptor and are unaffected.

rt6_route_rcv() validates the Route Information option (RFC 4191) length
against the prefix length, but both checks are off by one.
rinfo->length is the ND option length in units of 8 octets and it
*includes* the 8-byte option header, so an option carrying N bytes of
prefix has length == 1 + N/8. RFC 4191 section 2.3 requires length 3
when Prefix Length is greater than 64, and 2 or 3 when it is greater
than 0. The code accepts length >= 2 and length >= 1 respectively.
ipv6_addr_prefix() then copies prefix_len/8 bytes out of rinfo->prefix,
so a Router Advertisement with (prefix_len=128, length=2) or
(prefix_len=64, length=1) makes the kernel read up to 8 bytes past the
end of the option. Those bytes end up in the prefix of the route that
gets installed, so they are visible to userspace:
# RA with a Route Information option (prefix_len=128, length=2)
# followed by a source link-layer address option, 01 01 de ad be ef ca fe
$ ip -6 route show
2001:db8:dead:beef:101:dead:beef:cafe via fe80::1234 dev veth0 proto ra
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the next option, read out of bounds
When the Route Information option is the last one in the packet, those
eight bytes come from the skb tail room instead.
Reject the option lengths RFC 4191 does not allow.

Commit f5da7c4518 ("tcp: adjust rcvq_space after updating scaling
ratio") replaced the direct window_clamp update in tcp_measure_rcv_mss()
with a call to tcp_set_window_clamp(), a helper that implements the
TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP setsockopt. As a side effect, the helper also shrinks
rcv_ssthresh via __tcp_adjust_rcv_ssthresh().
As a result, each scaling_ratio decrease detected by
tcp_measure_rcv_mss() also cuts rcv_ssthresh. Elsewhere in TCP,
rcv_ssthresh is usually cut under memory pressure and grows via
tcp_grow_window().
Flows whose segment sizes vary keep scaling_ratio oscillating, which
leads to an unstable rcv_ssthresh: a dip of rcv_ssthresh only recovers
via tcp_grow_window(), keeping the advertised window at a relatively
low level even after the ratio itself has recovered, and can even stall
the sender.
Observed on a customer's proxy gateway after upgrading from kernel 6.1
to 6.12: in the worst case, rcv_ssthresh was cut in half by a
scaling_ratio dip. P99 latency jumped from <10ms on 6.1 to ~100ms on
6.12, and almost returned to the 6.1 level with this patch applied.
Restore the plain WRITE_ONCE() update of window_clamp, as introduced
in commit a2cbb16039 ("tcp: Update window clamping condition"), and
keep the rcvq_space.space adjustment. Now rcv_ssthresh is decoupled from
scaling_ratio changes in tcp_measure_rcv_mss().

When host is powered off, firmware does not send vhca_state event
for every probed host SF on the DPU because it may have deployed
thousands of SFs to the host. Instead it sends a function changed
event. Currently, only VFs handle this event. This commit extends
support to SFs.
When DPU user deactivates[1] SFs, mlx5 expects vhca_state event
and leaves the SF in dangling state[2].
When DPU user deletes[3] SFs, mlx5 also expects vhca_state event
and destroys the SF resources[4].
Fix it by changing SF to the right state and freeing SF resources
when the function changed event is received.
When this event is received, driver checks all SF states.
- If state is in_use, change it to active.
- If state is teardown_request, change it to allocated.
And SF hardware table entry is freed if it is pending for delete.

The route4 classifier maintains a 16-slot fastmap cache that stores raw
struct route4_filter pointers indexed by (id, iif). The reader
(route4_classify) populates this cache via route4_set_fastmap() for every
classified packet that hits a filter. The writer (route4_delete,
route4_change) clears the cache via route4_reset_fastmap() before
RCU-deferred kfree of the filter.
This creates a UAF race:
1. Reader walks the RCU-protected bucket chain, finds filter f
2. Writer unlinks f, calls route4_reset_fastmap(), then tcf_queue_work()
3. Reader calls route4_set_fastmap() and writes f into the cache
*after* the writer's reset, caching a pointer about to be freed
4. After the RCU grace period, kfree(f) executes
5. Next classified packet on the same (id, iif) tuple hits the stale
fastmap entry and reads f->res from freed memory
Reproduced with an mdelay(100) accelerator in route4_set_fastmap() and a
concurrent add/delete stress test (provided by both zdi and Santosh).
Both triggered KASAN slab-use-after-free reports in the route4 fastmap
paths.
Fix:
Introduce a per-filter boolean dying flag to suppress stale fastmap
republishing by in-flight readers.

inet_frag_create() arms the fragment queue timer before inserting the
queue into the fqdir rhashtable. If the namespace fragment timeout is
zero or negative, the timer can run before the queue is published.
The timer callback then marks the queue complete, tries to remove a node
that is not in the hash table yet, and drops the anticipated hash
reference. Creation can subsequently publish the completed queue without
restoring that reference, leaving a stale hash node after the caller drops
the remaining reference.
Publish the queue first and arm the timer while holding the queue lock.
This makes timer expiry wait until the queue is visible in the hash table,
so inet_frag_kill() can remove the node and balance the hash reference.

sub_tlv = skb_put(skb, sizeof(*sub_tlv));
sub_tlv->type = BR_MRP_SUB_TLV_HEADER_TEST_AUTO_MGR;
so sub_tlv->length is never written, and the two trailing alignment bytes
are appended with a bare skb_put() that does not clear them either. The
neighbouring oui and sub_opt regions are explicitly zeroed, so three
uninitialised bytes are left in every MRA MRP_Test frame that goes out.
Put the sub-option TLV header and the alignment padding in a single

payload, so the zeroed length field is already the value it should have.

The SMC_LLC_CONFIRM_LINK / SMC_LLC_ADD_LINK_CONT branch in
smc_llc_event_handler() stores an incoming qentry into the local LLC flow
without first checking whether a qentry is already pending. If a malicious or
buggy peer sends a second CONFIRM_LINK or ADD_LINK_CONT request while a flow is
active and flow->qentry is already set, smc_llc_flow_qentry_set() overwrites the
pointer without freeing the previous allocation, leaking one kmalloc-96 object
per spurious message.
The sibling SMC_LLC_DELETE_LINK branch already has the correct !flow->qentry
guard. Apply the same guard to the CONFIRM_LINK/ADD_LINK_CONT branch so that a
duplicate message when qentry is already occupied falls through to break and is
freed by the kfree(qentry) at the out: label, rather than silently leaking the
existing allocation.
The response direction (smc_llc_rx_response()) is unaffected: it already guards
with flow->qentry at the equivalent site and drops duplicate responses
correctly.

The x25 timers are armed with mod_timer() and cancelled with
timer_delete(), so a pending timer holds no reference on the socket and a
cancel does not wait for a callback already running on another CPU.
x25_heartbeat_expiry() also rearms unconditionally, so it can reinstall
sk->sk_timer after __x25_destroy_socket() has passed its cancel point.
The following __sock_put() frees the socket while the timer is still
queued, and the next expiry uses freed memory. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-2k object freed by close().
timer_delete_sync() cannot be used here: x25_heartbeat_expiry() and
x25_timer_expiry() both reach the cancels from inside the timer they
would wait on, through __x25_destroy_socket() and x25_disconnect().
Arm the timers with sk_reset_timer() and cancel them with sk_stop_timer()
so that an armed timer owns a reference, and release it in both expiry
handlers. Rearm the heartbeat only while sk_hashed(sk) is still true,
since __x25_destroy_socket() unlinks the socket before dropping it. Arm
the deferred destroy timer the same way and drop its reference in
x25_destroy_timer().
Reproduced on net with KASAN, with the heartbeat period shortened so the
window recurs. With this patch the reproducer no longer triggers a
report and /proc/net/x25 drains.

pdsc_check_pci_health() queues pci_reset_work when it sees a broken PCI
connection, and nothing cancels it. When the PCI core starts AER
recovery, pdsc_pci_error_detected() runs pdsc_reset_prepare() and
recovers the device, but a pci_reset_work queued just before is left
pending. If it runs after recovery released the device lock, it resets a
device the driver now considers healthy, bouncing the link for no reason.
Cancel pci_reset_work in pdsc_pci_error_detected() after
pdsc_reset_prepare(), which has already stopped the health thread so it
cannot requeue the work. cancel_work_sync() is safe under the device
lock here because pdsc_pci_reset_thread() uses pci_try_reset_function(),
which returns instead of blocking on the lock. Only PFs initialize
pci_reset_work, so guard the cancel with !is_virtfn.

Commit d9407ff118 ("pds_core: Prevent health thread from running
during reset/remove") stops the health thread with cancel_work_sync()
before a reset, but a devcmd timeout during pdsc_fw_down() re-queues
health_work, so pdsc_health_thread() runs again mid-reset and double
allocates the core DMA queues via pdsc_fw_up().
Only the reset path is affected: on remove PDSC_S_STOPPING_DRIVER gates
the health thread and the workqueue is destroyed.
Use disable_work_sync() to cancel health_work and block further
queue_work() on it, and enable_work() in pdsc_restart_health_thread() to
re-allow it after the reset.
disable_work_sync() keeps a disable depth, so every disable must be
matched by one enable. pdsc_reset_prepare() stops the health thread and
pdsc_reset_done() restarts it. On the AER path pdsc_pci_error_detected()
calls pdsc_reset_prepare(), then pdsc_pci_error_resume() re-inits via
pci_reset_function_locked() (pds_core has no .slot_reset handler), which
runs the pair again - stopping the thread twice but restarting it once.
Gate the disable and enable on a health_stopped flag so each fires at
most once per stopped/running transition.

In case __mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() fails in lower levels, the flow is

ESW devcom lock without condition. In addition, in case of peer_flow,
__mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() is called while holding ESW devcom comp lock.
This results in an AA deadlock.

peer flows (the duplicate flows on peer devices), and check it in

enic_remove() cancels the reset and change_mtu_work items but does not
cancel tx_hang_reset. A TX timeout that fires while the device is being
removed can schedule enic_tx_hang_reset() so that it runs after
free_netdev(), resulting in a use-after-free.
cancel_work_sync() alone is not sufficient here: the still-live watchdog
and notify paths can re-schedule these work items in the window between
the cancel and unregister_netdev(). Use disable_work_sync(), which
cancels the work and blocks any subsequent schedule_work() from
requeuing it, and apply it to the reset and change_mtu_work items as
well so the same requeue race is closed for all teardown work.

packet_parse_headers() resets the MAC header only for a SOCK_RAW frame
whose socket did not bind a protocol. A protocol-bound SOCK_RAW socket,
any SOCK_DGRAM frame, and the legacy SOCK_PACKET path therefore leave
skb->mac_header unset here.
For frames sent via __dev_queue_xmit() this is harmless: it resets the
MAC header unconditionally. But the packet-socket PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS
path uses dev_direct_xmit(), which does not, so the frame reaches
ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset. A driver that reads
eth_hdr(skb) on transmit then dereferences skb->head + (u16)~0, an
out-of-bounds access ~64 KiB past the head -- the same class fixed for
one consumer in commit f5089008f9 ("macsec: do not read an unset MAC
header in macsec_encrypt()").
packet_parse_headers() runs only on the transmit path, where skb->data
points at the start of the L2 header for every packet-socket type
regardless of its length: SOCK_RAW and SOCK_PACKET carry a user-supplied
header and SOCK_DGRAM has one built by dev_hard_header(). Reset the MAC
header unconditionally, mirroring __dev_queue_xmit(), so the frame is
anchored on the bypass path too.

This reverts commit a8065af334.
Per the USB4 spec, a Transmit Descriptor Ring with E2E flow control
disabled does not require any credits to be available before the Host
Interface Adapter Layer transmits a tunneled packet from it. Once E2E is
enabled on that ring the controller must first obtain end-to-end
credits.
The ASMedia ASM4242 USB4 host router (PCI 1b21:2425) never delivers
those credits. The controller does accept the configuration: reading the
ring OPTIONS register back right after tb_ring_start() returns exactly
what was written, including RING_FLAG_E2E_FLOW_CONTROL (bit 28) and the
E2E HopID field. No credit ever arrives though, so the Tx ring's
hardware consumer index never advances and the link carries no traffic
at all.
Measured on two hosts connected point to point, onboard ASM4242 on MSI
X870E and X870, v6.17, stock drivers/net/thunderbolt/main.c with only
this revert applied on top:
before: 100% packet loss to the peer; thunderbolt0 is up and the
XDomain handshake completes ("new host found"), but iperf3
fails with "No route to host" once the neighbour entry
expires
after: 0% packet loss, 0.28 ms RTT; iperf3 4.21 Gb/s one way and
5.17 Gb/s the other (5 runs each, stddev <= 0.02), 1
retransmit in 10 s
An instrumented build additionally showed a frozen-Tx-consumer watchdog
firing ~30k times in a 10 s window before this change.
Rx-side E2E is not touched by this revert, so peers that do return
credits keep receive-side flow control.
ASMedia does not look like an isolated case. The out-of-tree
thunderbolt-ibverbs project disables native E2E on AMD NHI by default,
noting that "Strix Halo has reproduced TX completion wedges with
multiple native E2E rings active" -- the same failure mode, on a
different vendor. Since the driver has no way to tell in advance which
host router returns the credits, going back to the previous behaviour
looks safer than adding a quirk per affected part; Tx-side E2E can be
reintroduced as an opt-in for controllers that are known to implement
the credit return.
Note that the reverted commit was not fixing a reported problem, it was
derived from the spec wording alone, so this revert is not expected to
regress a known workload. Cc'ing the original author in case there was
one.

After setting a 100G optical port to 40G via ethtool and reloading
the driver, the port remains at 40G instead of reverting to the
firmware default speed of 100G.
The commit referenced in Fixes: added two overwrites in
hclge_init_ae_dev() for non-copper media, so that optical ports
connected to forced-mode remotes inherit the firmware-preset
autoneg and speed instead of the hardcoded defaults:
req_autoneg = mac.autoneg
req_speed = mac.speed (when autoneg disabled)
The autoneg overwrite keeps existing behavior:
hclge_set_autoneg_speed_dup() already uses mac.autoneg (not
req_autoneg) since it was introduced, so autoneg inheritance from
firmware was already in place. This part is kept.
The speed overwrite, however, introduces the residue: mac.speed
reflects whatever was last programmed into the MAC, and after unload
firmware does not restore the MAC speed to the flash default. So if
the user changed speed via ethtool in a prior load, mac.speed still
carries that value on reload and req_speed inherits it.
Fix by dropping the req_speed overwrite only. req_speed keeps the
firmware default value set in hclge_configure() (cfg.default_speed),
so a reload reverts the speed to default, matching the expectation
that a driver reload resets link configuration.
Trade-off: on optical ports whose firmware default speed does not
match a forced-mode remote, reload now drops the link and the user
must re-apply ethtool configuration. This is acceptable: a driver
reload is expected to reset link configuration, not to inherit
runtime state from before unload. The autoneg inheritance is left
in place as established behavior; changing it is out of scope for
this patch and would itself be a user-perceivable behavior change.

A TX timeout on a qede NIC that has VXLAN/GENEVE tunnel ports
configured wedges the rtnetlink control plane of the whole machine:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: ens6f1 (qede): transmit queue 2 timed out 10226 ms
[qede_tx_timeout:586(ens6f1)]TX timeout on queue 2!
[qede_recovery_handler:2665(ens6f0)]Starting a recovery process
The recovery path deadlocks on the driver's own mutex:
qede_sp_task
rtnl_lock()
mutex_lock(&edev->qede_lock) <- taken
qede_recovery_handler
qede_load
udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf
__udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync
info->sync_table == qede_udp_tunnel_sync
mutex_lock(&edev->qede_lock) <- same task: deadlock
The mutex is not recursive, so the kworker blocks on itself with
rtnl_lock held, and neither lock is ever released. Every task that
calls rtnl_lock() afterwards (ip, ovs-vswitchd, lldpad, IPv6
addrconf, sshd) blocks forever while the node still answers ping.
In a vmcore from an affected production node rtnl_mutex.owner
decodes to the very kworker blocked at the innermost mutex_lock()
above.
Re-sync the tunnel ports from qede_sp_task() after the internal lock
is dropped, still under rtnl_lock as the udp_tunnel API requires.
This mirrors qede_open(), which calls udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf()
under rtnl without the internal lock.
qede_recovery_handler() now returns whether it has successfully
reloaded an open device, and the caller re-syncs the ports only in
that case. This keeps the old gating exactly: a device that was down
or a failed recovery returns false, as those paths never reached the
udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf() call before either.
This was the only user of the qede_lock()/qede_unlock() helpers, so
remove them.

While attaching a newly created meter attach_meter() function makes
the new meter visible to other CPUs but can still fail afterwards.
On failure, it detaches the meter back and returns an error.
However, this is an unexpected behavior for the ovs_meter_cmd_set()
that uses a plain kfree(meter) on attach failure without waiting for
RCU readers to stop using it, assuming it was never visible.
This is never a problem for ovs-vswitchd as it always creates meters
before creating any flows that use them. But the UAF can be triggered
with a custom application using uAPI:

Fix that by making sure attach_meter() doesn't make the meter visible
until all the checks are done and the function can't fail anymore.
This also makes sure the "hash" value is calculated after the potential
re-sizing of the table.

When TX VLAN hardware offload is disabled, VLAN tags are embedded in
the packet payload (software VLAN). Previously, the driver failed to
set the WX_TX_FLAGS_SW_VLAN flag for these packets during transmission.
This missing flag caused the txgbe FDIR ATR logic to fall through to the
default hash calculation path. This resulted in asymmetric hash values
for Tx and Rx flows, preventing return packets from being steered to the
same queue as the transmit packets.
Fix this by detecting software VLANs via eth_type_vlan(skb->protocol)
and setting WX_TX_FLAGS_SW_VLAN. This ensures the ATR feature selects
the correct hashing algorithm to maintain Tx/Rx queue symmetry.
