2026-02-10Merge branch 'hsr-implement-more-robust-duplicate-discard-algorithm'Paolo Abeni
Felix Maurer says: ==================== hsr: Implement more robust duplicate discard algorithm The duplicate discard algorithms for PRP and HSR do not work reliably with certain link faults. Especially with packet loss on one link, the duplicate discard algorithms drop valid packets. For a more thorough description see patches 4 (for PRP) and 6 (for HSR). This patchset replaces the current algorithms (based on a drop window for PRP and highest seen sequence number for HSR) with a single new one that tracks the received sequence numbers individually (descriptions again in patches 4 and 6). The changes will lead to higher memory usage and more work to do for each packet. But I argue that this is an acceptable trade-off to make for a more robust PRP and HSR behavior with faulty links. After all, both protocols are to be used in environments where redundancy is needed and people are willing to setup special network topologies to achieve that. Some more reasoning on the overhead and expected scale of the deployment from the RFC discussion: > As for the expected scale, there are two dimensions: the number of nodes > in the network and the data rate with which they send. > > The number of nodes in the network affect the memory usage because each > node now has the block buffer. For PRP that's 64 blocks * 32 byte = > 2kbyte for each node in the node table. A PRP network doesn't have an > explicit limit for the number of nodes. However, the whole network is a > single layer-2 segment which shouldn't grow too large anyways. Even if > one really tries to put 1000 nodes into the PRP network, the memory > overhead (2Mbyte) is acceptable in my opinion. > > For HSR, the blocks would be larger because we need to track the > sequence numbers per port. I expect 64 blocks * 80 byte = 5kbyte per > node in the node table. There is no explicit limit for the size of an > HSR ring either.

Run the packet loss and reordering tests also for both HSR versions. Now they can be removed from the hsr_ping tests completely. The timeout needs to be increased because there are 15 link fault test cases now, with each of them taking 5-6sec for the test and at most 5sec for the HSR node tables to get merged and we also want some room to make the test runs stable.

2026-02-10hsr: Implement more robust duplicate discard for HSRFelix Maurer
The HSR duplicate discard algorithm had even more basic problems than the described for PRP in the previous patch. It relied only on the last received sequence number to decide if a new frame should be forwarded to any port. This does not work correctly in any case where frames are received out of order. The linked bug report claims that this can even happen with perfectly fine links due to the order in which incoming frames are processed (which can be unexpected on multi-core systems). The issue also occasionally shows up in the HSR selftests. The main reason is that the sequence number that was last forwarded to the master port may have skipped a number which will in turn never be delivered to the host. As the problem (we accidentally skip over a sequence number that has not been received but will be received in the future) is similar to PRP, we can apply a similar solution. The duplicate discard algorithm based on the "sparse bitmap" works well for HSR if it is extended to track one bitmap for each port (A, B, master, interlink). To do this, change the sequence number blocks to contain a flexible array member as the last member that can keep chunks for as many bitmaps as we need. This design makes it easy to reuse the same algorithm in a potential PRP RedBox implementation. The duplicate discard algorithm functions are modified to deal with sequence number blocks of different sizes and to correctly use the array of bitmap chunks. There is a notable speciality for HSR: the port type has a special port type NONE with value 0. This leads to the number of port types being 5 instead of actually 4. To save memory, remove the NONE port from the bitmap (by subtracting 1) when setting up the block buffer and when accessing the bitmap chunks in the array. Removing the old algorithm allows us to get rid of a few fields that are not needed any more: time_out and seq_out for each port. We can also remove some functions that were only necessary for the previous duplicate discard algorithm. The removal of seq_out is possible despite its previous usage in hsr_register_frame_in: it was used to prevent updates to time_in when "invalid" sequence numbers were received. With the new duplicate discard algorithm, time_in has no relevance for the expiry of sequence numbers anymore. They will expire based on the timestamps in the sequence number blocks after at most 400ms. There is no need that a node "re-registers" to "resume communication": after 400ms, all sequence numbers are accepted again. Also, according to the IEC 62439-3:2021, all nodes are supposed to send no traffic for 500ms after boot to lead exactly to this expiry of seen sequence numbers. time_in is still used for pruning nodes from the node table after no traffic has been received for 60sec. Pruning is only needed if the node is really gone and has not been sending any traffic for that period. seq_out was also used to report the last incoming sequence number from a node through netlink. I am not sure how useful this value is to userspace at all, but added getting it from the sequence number blocks. This number can be outdated after node merging until a new block has been added. Update the KUnit test for the PRP duplicate discard so that the node allocation matches and expectations on the removed fields are removed.

2026-02-10selftests: hsr: Add tests for more link faults with PRPFelix Maurer
Add tests where one link has different rates of packet loss or reorders packets. PRP should still be able to recover from these link faults and show no packet loss. However, it is acceptable to receive some level of duplicate packets. This matches the current specification (IEC 62439-3:2021) of the duplicate discard algorithm that requires it to be "designed such that it never rejects a legitimate frame, while occasional acceptance of a duplicate can be tolerated." The rate of acceptable duplicates in this test is intentionally high (10%) to make the test stable, the values I observed in the worst test cases (20% loss) are around 5% duplicates. The duplicates occur because of the 10ms ping interval in the test. As blocks expire after 400ms based on the timestamp of the first received sequence number in the block, every approx. 40th will lead to a new, clean block being used where the sequence number hasn't been seen before. As this occurs on both nodes in the test (for requests and replies), we observe around 20 duplicate frames.

2026-02-10hsr: Implement more robust duplicate discard for PRPFelix Maurer
The PRP duplicate discard algorithm does not work reliably with certain link faults. Especially with packet loss on one link, the duplicate discard algorithm drops valid packets which leads to packet loss on the PRP interface where the link fault should in theory be perfectly recoverable by PRP. This happens because the algorithm opens the drop window on the lossy link, covering received and lost sequence numbers. If the other, non-lossy link receives the duplicate for a lost frame, it is within the drop window of the lossy link and therefore dropped. Since IEC 62439-3:2012, a node has one sequence number counter for frames it sends, instead of one sequence number counter for each destination. Therefore, a node can not expect to receive contiguous sequence numbers from a sender. A missing sequence number can be totally normal (if the sender intermittently communicates with another node) or mean a frame was lost. The algorithm, as previously implemented in commit 05fd00e5e7b1 ("net: hsr: Fix PRP duplicate detection"), was part of IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0/PRPv0) but was removed with IEC 62439-3:2012 (HSRv1/PRPv1). Since that, no algorithm is specified but up to implementers. It should be "designed such that it never rejects a legitimate frame, while occasional acceptance of a duplicate can be tolerated" (IEC 62439-3:2021). For the duplicate discard algorithm, this means that 1) we need to track the sequence numbers individually to account for non-contiguous sequence numbers, and 2) we should always err on the side of accepting a duplicate than dropping a valid frame. The idea of the new algorithm is to store the seen sequence numbers in a bitmap. To keep the size of the bitmap in control, we store it as a "sparse bitmap" where the bitmap is split into blocks and not all blocks exist at the same time. The sparse bitmap is implemented using an xarray that keeps the references to the individual blocks and a backing ring buffer that stores the actual blocks. New blocks are initialized in the buffer and added to the xarray as needed when new frames arrive. Existing blocks are removed in two conditions: 1. The block found for an arriving sequence number is old and therefore not relevant to the duplicate discard algorithm anymore, i.e., it has been added more than the entry forget time ago. In this case, the block is removed from the xarray and marked as forgotten (by setting its timestamp to 0). 2. Space is needed in the ring buffer for a new block. In this case, the block is removed from the xarray, if it hasn't already been forgotten (by 1.). Afterwards, the new block is initialized in its place. This has the nice property that we can reliably track sequence numbers on low traffic situations (where they expire based on their timestamp) and more quickly forget sequence numbers in high traffic situations before they potentially wrap over and repeat before they are expired. When nodes are merged, the blocks are merged as well. The timestamp of a merged block is set to the minimum of the two timestamps to never keep around a seen sequence number for too long. The bitmaps are or'd to mark all seen sequence numbers as seen. All of this still happens under seq_out_lock, to prevent concurrent access to the blocks. The KUnit test for the algorithm is updated as well. The updates are done in a way to match the original intends pretty closely. Currently, there is much knowledge about the actual algorithm baked into the tests (especially the expectations) which may need some redesign in the future.

2026-02-10selftests: hsr: Add tests for faulty linksFelix Maurer
Add a test case that can support different types of faulty links for all protocol versions (HSRv0, HSRv1, PRPv1). It starts with a baseline with fully functional links. The first faulty case is one link being cut during the ping. This test uses a different function for ping that sends more packets in shorter intervals to stress the duplicate detection algorithms a bit more and allow for future tests with other link faults (packet loss, reordering, etc.). As the link fault tests now cover the cut link for HSR and PRP, it can be removed from the hsr_ping test. Note that the removed cut link test did not really test the fault because do_ping_long takes about 1sec while the link is only cut after a 3sec sleep.

2026-02-10selftests: hsr: Check duplicates on HSR with VLANFelix Maurer
Previously the hsr_ping test only checked that all nodes in a VLAN are reachable (using do_ping). Update the test to also check that there is no packet loss and no duplicate packets by running the same tests for VLANs as without VLANs (including using do_ping_long). This also adds tests for IPv6 over VLAN. To unify the test code, the topology without VLANs now uses IP addresses from dead:beef:0::/64 to align with the 100.64.0.0/24 range for IPv4. Error messages are updated across the board to make it easier to find what actually failed. Also update the VLAN test to only run in VLAN 2, as there is no need to check if ping really works with VLAN IDs 2, 3, 4, and 5. This lowers the number of long ping tests on VLANs to keep the overall test runtime in bounds. It's still necessary to bump the test timeout a bit, though: a ping long tests takes 1sec, do_ping_tests performs 12 of them, do_link_problem_tests 6, and the VLAN tests again 12. With some buffer for setup and waiting and for two protocol versions, 90sec timeout seems reasonable.

2026-02-10mm/slab: allow freeing kmalloc_nolock()'d objects using kfree[_rcu]()Harry Yoo
Slab objects that are allocated with kmalloc_nolock() must be freed using kfree_nolock() because only a subset of alloc hooks are called, since kmalloc_nolock() can't spin on a lock during allocation. This imposes a limitation: such objects cannot be freed with kfree_rcu(), forcing users to work around this limitation by calling call_rcu() with a callback that frees the object using kfree_nolock(). Remove this limitation by teaching kmemleak to gracefully ignore cases when kmemleak_free() or kmemleak_ignore() is called without a prior kmemleak_alloc(). Unlike kmemleak, kfence already handles this case, because, due to its design, only a subset of allocations are served from kfence. With this change, kfree() and kfree_rcu() can be used to free objects that are allocated using kmalloc_nolock().

2026-02-10pidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtableChristian Brauner
Mateusz reported performance penalties [1] during task creation because pidfs uses pidmap_lock to add elements into the rbtree. Switch to an rhashtable to have separate fine-grained locking and to decouple from pidmap_lock moving all heavy manipulations outside of it. Convert the pidfs inode-to-pid mapping from an rb-tree with seqcount protection to an rhashtable. This removes the global pidmap_lock contention from pidfs_ino_get_pid() lookups and allows the hashtable insert to happen outside the pidmap_lock. pidfs_add_pid() is split. pidfs_prepare_pid() allocates inode number and initializes pid fields and is called inside pidmap_lock. pidfs_add_pid() inserts pid into rhashtable and is called outside pidmap_lock. Insertion into the rhashtable can fail and memory allocation may happen so we need to drop the spinlock. To guard against accidently opening an already reaped task pidfs_ino_get_pid() uses additional checks beyond pid_vnr(). If pid->attr is PIDFS_PID_DEAD or NULL the pid either never had a pidfd or it already went through pidfs_exit() aka the process as already reaped. If pid->attr is valid check PIDFS_ATTR_BIT_EXIT to figure out whether the task has exited. This slightly changes visibility semantics: pidfd creation is denied after pidfs_exit() runs, which is just before the pid number is removed from the via free_pid(). That should not be an issue though.

2026-02-10net: atm: fix crash due to unvalidated vcc pointer in sigd_send()Jiayuan Chen
Reproducer available at [1]. The ATM send path (sendmsg -> vcc_sendmsg -> sigd_send) reads the vcc pointer from msg->vcc and uses it directly without any validation. This pointer comes from userspace via sendmsg() and can be arbitrarily forged: int fd = socket(AF_ATMSVC, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); ioctl(fd, ATMSIGD_CTRL); // become ATM signaling daemon struct msghdr msg = { .msg_iov = &iov, ... }; *(unsigned long *)(buf + 4) = 0xdeadbeef; // fake vcc pointer sendmsg(fd, &msg, 0); // kernel dereferences 0xdeadbeef In normal operation, the kernel sends the vcc pointer to the signaling daemon via sigd_enq() when processing operations like connect(), bind(), or listen(). The daemon is expected to return the same pointer when responding. However, a malicious daemon can send arbitrary pointer values. Fix this by introducing find_get_vcc() which validates the pointer by searching through vcc_hash (similar to how sigd_close() iterates over all VCCs), and acquires a reference via sock_hold() if found. Since struct atm_vcc embeds struct sock as its first member, they share the same lifetime. Therefore using sock_hold/sock_put is sufficient to keep the vcc alive while it is being used. Note that there may be a race with sigd_close() which could mark the vcc with various flags (e.g., ATM_VF_RELEASED) after find_get_vcc() returns. However, sock_hold() guarantees the memory remains valid, so this race only affects the logical state, not memory safety.

Wei Fang says: ==================== net: fec: improve XDP copy mode and add AF_XDP zero-copy support This patch set optimizes the XDP copy mode logic as follows. 1. Separate the processing of RX XDP frames from fec_enet_rx_queue(), and adds a separate function fec_enet_rx_queue_xdp() for handling XDP frames. 2. For TX XDP packets, using the batch sending method to avoid frequent MMIO writes. 3. Use the switch statement to check the tx_buf type instead of the if...else... statement, making the cleanup logic of TX BD ring cleared and more efficient. We compared the performance of XDP copy mode before and after applying this patch set, and the results show that the performance has improved.

2026-02-10net: fec: add AF_XDP zero-copy supportWei Fang
This patch adds AF_XDP zero-copy support for both TX and RX on the FEC driver. It introduces new functions for XSK buffer allocation, RX/TX queue processing in zero-copy mode, and XSK pool setup/teardown. For RX, fec_alloc_rxq_buffers_zc() is added to allocate RX buffers from XSK pool. And fec_enet_rx_queue_xsk() is used to process the frames from the RX queue which is bound to the AF_XDP socket. Similar to the copy mode, the zero-copy mode also supports XDP_TX, XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP and XDP_REDIRECT actions. In addition, fec_enet_xsk_tx_xmit() is similar to fec_enet_xdp_tx_xmit() and is used to handle XDP_TX action in zero-copy mode. For TX, there are two cases, one is the frames from the AF_XDP socket, so fec_enet_xsk_xmit() is added to directly transmit the frames from the socket and the buffer type is marked as FEC_TXBUF_T_XSK_XMIT. The other one is the frames from the RX queue (XDP_TX action), the buffer type is marked as FEC_TXBUF_T_XSK_TX. Therefore, fec_enet_tx_queue() could correctly clean the TX queue base on the buffer type. Also, some tests have been done on the i.MX93-EVK board with the xdpsock tool, the following are the results. Env: i.MX93 connects to a packet generator, the link speed is 1Gbps, and flow-control is off. The RX packet size is 64 bytes including FCS. Only one RX queue (CPU) is used to receive frames. 1.

The tx_buf has three types: FEC_TXBUF_T_SKB, FEC_TXBUF_T_XDP_NDO and FEC_TXBUF_T_XDP_TX. Currently, the driver uses 'if...else...' statements to check the type and perform the corresponding processing. This is very detrimental to future expansion. To support AF_XDP zero-copy mode, two new types will be added in the future, continuing to use 'if...else...' would be a very bad coding style. So the 'if...else...' statements in the current driver are replaced with switch statements.

This way, the TX queue ID only needs to be calculated once for XDP_TX frames during each NAPI polling. And since the number of RX queues and TX queues in FEC is generally equal, the RX queue ID can be directly used as the TX queue ID. In exceptional cases, fec_enet_xdp_get_tx_queue() is used to calculate the TX queue ID.

2026-02-10net: fec: add fec_enet_rx_queue_xdp() for XDP pathWei Fang
Currently, the processing of XDP path packets and protocol stack packets are both mixed in fec_enet_rx_queue(), which makes the logic somewhat confusing and debugging more difficult. Furthermore, some logic is not needed by each other. Such as the kernel path does not need to call xdp_init_buff(), XDP path does not support swap_buffer(), because fec_enet_bpf() returns "-EOPNOTSUPP" for those platforms which need swap_buffer()), and so on. This prevents XDP from achieving its maximum performance. Therefore, XDP path packets processing has been separated from fec_enet_rx_queue() by adding the fec_enet_rx_queue_xdp() function to optimize XDP path logic and improve XDP performance. The XDP performance on the iMX93 platform was compared before and after applying this patch. Detailed results are as follows and we can see the performance has been improved. Env: i.MX93, packet size 64 bytes including FCS, only single core and RX BD ring are used to receive packets, flow-control is off.

2026-02-10net: fec: add rx_shift to indicate the extra bytes padded in front of RX frameWei Fang
The FEC of some platforms supports RX FIFO shift-16, it means the actual frame data starts at bit 16 of the first word read from RX FIFO aligning the Ethernet payload on a 32-bit boundary. The MAC writes two additional bytes in front of each frame received into the RX FIFO. Currently, the fec_enet_rx_queue() updates the data_start, sub_len and the rx_bytes statistics by checking whether FEC_QUIRK_HAS_RACC is set. This makes the code less concise, so rx_shift is added to represent the number of extra bytes padded in front of the RX frame. Furthermore, when adding separate RX handling functions for XDP copy mode and zero copy mode in the future, it will no longer be necessary to check FEC_QUIRK_HAS_RACC to update the corresponding variables.

The get_sample() function in the hwlat tracer assumes the caller holds hwlat_data.lock, but this is not actually happening. The result is unprotected data access to hwlat_data, and in per-cpu mode can result in false sharing which may show up as false positive latency events. The specific case of false sharing observed was primarily between hwlat_data.sample_width and hwlat_data.count. These are separated by just 8B and are therefore likely to share a cache line. When one thread modifies count, the cache line is in a modified state so when other threads read sample_width in the main latency detection loop, they fetch the modified cache line. On some systems, the fetch itself may be slow enough to count as a latency event, which could set up a self reinforcing cycle of latency events as each event increments count which then causes more latency events, continuing the cycle. The other result of the unprotected data access is that hwlat_data.count can end up with duplicate or missed values, which was observed on some systems in testing. Convert hwlat_data.count to atomic64_t so it can be safely modified without locking, and prevent false sharing by pulling sample_width into a local variable. One system this was tested on was a dual socket server with 32 CPUs on each numa node. With settings of 1us threshold, 1000us width, and 2000us window, this change reduced the number of latency events from 500 per second down to approximately 1 event per minute. Some machines tested did not exhibit measurable latency from the false sharing.

2026-02-10rust: kbuild: pass `-Zunstable-options` for Rust 1.95.0Miguel Ojeda
Custom target specifications are unstable, but starting with Rust 1.95.0, `rustc` requires to explicitly pass `-Zunstable-options` to use them [1]: error: error loading target specification: custom targets are unstable and require `-Zunstable-options` | = help: run `rustc --print target-list` for a list of built-in targets David (Rust compiler team lead), writes: "We're destabilising custom targets to allow us to move forward with build-std without accidentally exposing functionality that we'd like to revisit prior to committing to. I'll start a thread on Zulip to discuss with the RfL team how we can come up with an alternative for them." Thus pass it.

2026-02-10Merge branch 'slab/for-7.0/sheaves' into slab/for-nextVlastimil Babka
Merge series "slab: replace cpu (partial) slabs with sheaves". The percpu sheaves caching layer was introduced as opt-in but the goal was to eventually move all caches to them. This is the next step, enabling sheaves for all caches (except the two bootstrap ones) and then removing the per cpu (partial) slabs and lots of associated code. Besides the lower locking overhead and much more likely fastpath when freeing, this removes the rather complicated code related to the cpu slab lockless fastpaths (using this_cpu_try_cmpxchg128/64) and all its complications for PREEMPT_RT or kmalloc_nolock(). The lockless slab freelist+counters update operation using try_cmpxchg128/64 remains and is crucial for freeing remote NUMA objects and to allow flushing objects from sheaves to slabs mostly without the node list_lock.

2026-02-10net: dsa: mxl-gsw1xx: validate chip IDDaniel Golle
No check for actually present hardware is being performed in the probe function of the mxl-gsw1xx switch driver. So even if the switch isn't present at the configured MDIO bus address the driver wrongly tells the user that a "GSWIP version 0 mod 0" was found, outputting errors about PHY capabilities not matching. Read and validate the chip MANU_ID and PNUM_ID registers and output information while probing, but return an error and abort probing in case the hardware is not actually present.

2026-02-10net: dsa: mxl-gsw1xx: configure SerDes port polaritiesDaniel Golle
Configure SerDes (port 4) RX and TX polarities using the newly introduced generic properties. The polarities are described at the port level which equals the polarities of the external pins of the chip. Note that the RX lane is inverted internally and the vendor driver simply always sets bit GSW1XX_SGMII_PHY_RX0_CFG2_INVERT unconditionally to end up with the correct (ie. as documented in datasheets) polarity at the external pins. In this sense, PHY_POLARITY_NORMAL denotes normal polarity for pins as documented for the MRQFN 105-pin package (GSW120, GSW125, GSW140, GSW141 and GSW145 all use the same package and have identical pin layouts except for TP port 2 and 3 being N/C on GSW12x): pin B18 (TX0_P) positive signal of the differential SGMII data output pair pin B19 (TX0_M) negative signal of the differential SGMII data output pair pin B20 (RX0_P) positive signal of the differential SGMII data input pair pin B21 (RX0_M) negative signal of the differential SGMII data input pair Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/8bf79b3476e23673fceffbe2bc9d6abc13d132e5.1769916962.git.daniel@makrotopia.org Reviewed-by: Vladimir Oltean <olteanv@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
