call iptunnel_xmit_stats().

net: add xmit recursion limit to tunnel xmit functions 2026-03-10T12:30:30+00:00 Weiming Shi bestswngs@gmail.com 2026-03-06T16:01:34+00:00 6f1a9140ecda3baba3d945b9a6155af4268aafc4 Tunnel xmit functions (iptunnel_xmit, ip6tunnel_xmit) lack their own recursion limit. When a bond device in broadcast mode has GRE tap interfaces as slaves, and those GRE tunnels route back through the bond, multicast/broadcast traffic triggers infinite recursion between bond_xmit_broadcast() and ip_tunnel_xmit()/ip6_tnl_xmit(), causing kernel stack overflow. The existing XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT (8) in the no-qdisc path is not sufficient because tunnel recursion involves route lookups and full IP output, consuming much more stack per level. Use a lower limit of 4 (IP_TUNNEL_RECURSION_LIMIT) to prevent overflow. Add recursion detection using dev_xmit_recursion helpers directly in iptunnel_xmit() and ip6tunnel_xmit() to cover all IPv4/IPv6 tunnel paths including UDP encapsulated tunnels (VXLAN, Geneve, etc.).

This works as long as the BH context is not preemptible. On PREEMPT_RT the softirq context is preemptible and without the softirq-lock it is possible to have multiple user in __dev_queue_xmit() submitting a skb on the same CPU. This is fine in general but this means also that the current CPU is recorded as netdev_queue::xmit_lock_owner. This in turn leads to the recursion alert and the skb is dropped. Instead checking the for CPU number, that owns the lock, PREEMPT_RT can check if the lockowner matches the current task. Add netif_tx_owned() which returns true if the current context owns the lock by comparing the provided CPU number with the recorded number. This resembles the current check by negating the condition (the current check returns true if the lock is not owned). On PREEMPT_RT use rt_mutex_owner() to return the lock owner and compare the current task against it.

netkit: Add netkit notifier to check for unregistering devices 2026-01-20T10:58:50+00:00 Daniel Borkmann daniel@iogearbox.net 2026-01-15T08:25:58+00:00 eef51113f8afd35c69cbf3702e0ecd55263f2416 Add a netdevice notifier in netkit to watch for NETDEV_UNREGISTER events. If the target device is indeed NETREG_UNREGISTERING and previously leased a queue to a netkit device, then collect the related netkit devices and batch-unregister_netdevice_many() them. If this would not be done, then the netkit device would hold a reference on the physical device preventing it from going away. However, in case of both io_uring zero-copy as well as AF_XDP this situation is handled gracefully and the allocated resources are torn down. In the case where mentioned infra is used through netkit, the applications have a reference on netkit, and netkit in turn holds a reference on the physical device. In order to have netkit release the reference on the physical device, we need such watcher to then unregister the netkit ones. This is generally quite similar to the dependency handling in case of tunnels (e.g. vxlan bound to a underlying netdev) where the tunnel device gets removed along with the physical device. # ip a [...] 4: enp10s0f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether e8:eb:d3:a3:43:f6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.0.2/24 scope global enp10s0f0np0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever [...] 8: nk@NONE: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [...] # rmmod mlx5_ib # rmmod mlx5_core [ 309.261822] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.0 mlx5_0: Port: 1 Link DOWN [ 344.235236] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.1: E-Switch: Unload vfs: mode(LEGACY), nvfs(0), necvfs(0), active vports(0) [ 344.246948] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.1: E-Switch: Disable: mode(LEGACY), nvfs(0), necvfs(0), active vports(0) [ 344.463754] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.1: E-Switch: Disable: mode(LEGACY), nvfs(0), necvfs(0), active vports(0) [ 344.770155] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.1: E-Switch: cleanup [ 345.345709] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.0: E-Switch: Unload vfs: mode(LEGACY), nvfs(0), necvfs(0), active vports(0) [ 345.357524] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.0: E-Switch: Disable: mode(LEGACY), nvfs(0), necvfs(0), active vports(0) [ 350.995989] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.0: E-Switch: Disable: mode(LEGACY), nvfs(0), necvfs(0), active vports(0) [ 351.574396] mlx5_core 0000:0a:00.0: E-Switch: cleanup # ip a [...] [ both enp10s0f0np0 and nk gone ] [...] Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Co-developed-by: David Wei <dw@davidwei.uk> Signed-off-by: David Wei <dw@davidwei.uk> Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <razor@blackwall.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260115082603.219152-12-daniel@iogearbox.net Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> 
Add a netdevice notifier in netkit to watch for NETDEV_UNREGISTER events.
If the target device is indeed NETREG_UNREGISTERING and previously leased
a queue to a netkit device, then collect the related netkit devices and
batch-unregister_netdevice_many() them.

If this would not be done, then the netkit device would hold a reference
on the physical device preventing it from going away. However, in case of
both io_uring zero-copy as well as AF_XDP this situation is handled
gracefully and the allocated resources are torn down.

In the case where mentioned infra is used through netkit, the applications
have a reference on netkit, and netkit in turn holds a reference on the
physical device. In order to have netkit release the reference on the
physical device, we need such watcher to then unregister the netkit ones.

This is generally quite similar to the dependency handling in case of
tunnels (e.g. vxlan bound to a underlying netdev) where the tunnel device
gets removed along with the physical device.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Unify how task_work cancelations are detected, placing it in the
   task_work running state rather than needing to check the task state

 - Series cleaning up and moving the cancelation code to where it
   belongs, in cancel.c

 - Cleanup of waitid and futex argument handling

 - Add support for mixed sized SQEs. 6.18 added support for mixed sized
   CQEs, improving flexibility and efficiency of workloads that need big
   CQEs. This adds similar support for SQEs, where the occasional need
   for a 128b SQE doesn't necessitate having all SQEs be 128b in size

 - Introduce zcrx and SQ/CQ layout queries. The former returns what zcrx
   features are available. And both return the ring size information to
   help with allocation size calculation for user provided rings like
   IORING_SETUP_NO_MMAP and IORING_MEM_REGION_TYPE_USER

 - Zcrx updates for 6.19. It includes a bunch of small patches,
   IORING_REGISTER_ZCRX_CTRL and RQ flushing and David's work on sharing

   size and offset calculations. It also moves most of the checking
