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. Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.0 NFSD development cycle" * tag 'nfsd-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (45 commits) NFSD: Add POSIX ACL file attributes to SUPPATTR bitmasks NFSD: Add POSIX draft ACL support to the NFSv4 SETATTR operation NFSD: Add support for POSIX draft ACLs for file creation NFSD: Add support for XDR decoding POSIX draft ACLs NFSD: Refactor nfsd_setattr()'s ACL error reporting NFSD: Do not allow NFSv4 (N)VERIFY to check POSIX ACL attributes NFSD: Add nfsd4_encode_fattr4_posix_access_acl NFSD: Add nfsd4_encode_fattr4_posix_default_acl NFSD: Add nfsd4_encode_fattr4_acl_trueform_scope NFSD: Add nfsd4_encode_fattr4_acl_trueform Add RPC language definition of NFSv4 POSIX ACL extension NFSD: Add a Kconfig setting to enable support for NFSv4 POSIX ACLs xdrgen: Implement pass-through lines in specifications nfsd: cancel async COPY operations when admin revokes filesystem state nfsd: add controls to set the minimum number of threads per pool nfsd: adjust number of running nfsd threads based on activity sunrpc: allow svc_recv() to return -ETIMEDOUT and -EBUSY sunrpc: split new thread creation into a separate function sunrpc: introduce the concept of a minimum number of threads per pool sunrpc: track the max number of requested threads in a pool ...

2026-01-29dpll: expose fractional frequency offset in pptIvan Vecera
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
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
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.

Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles. - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC queue. Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy. Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet reordering. - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths. - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already did for Rx skbs). - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric. - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines. - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for packets. - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance. - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory. - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups. - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection. - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT. - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low. - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations. - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload. - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837). - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449). - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL. - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock. - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC. - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees. - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers. - Some preparations for slimming down struct page. - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard. - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state. Driver API: - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface. - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification. - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in zl3073x). - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads IPsec and performs RSS. - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default. - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload. - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload. - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

2025-12-02wireguard: netlink: add YNL specificationAsbjørn Sloth Tønnesen
This patch adds a near[1] complete YNL specification for WireGuard, documenting the protocol in a machine-readable format, rather than comments in wireguard.h, and eases usage from C and non-C programming languages alike. The generated C library will be featured in a later patch, so in this patch I will use the in-kernel python client for examples. This makes the documentation in the UAPI header redundant, it is therefore removed. The in-line documentation in the spec is based on the existing comment in wireguard.h, and once released it will be available in the kernel documentation at: https://docs.kernel.org/netlink/specs/wireguard.html (until then run: make htmldocs) Generate wireguard.rst from this spec: $ make -C tools/net/ynl/generated/ wireguard.rst Query wireguard interface through pyynl: $ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family wireguard \ --dump get-device \ --json '{"ifindex":3}' [{'fwmark': 0, 'ifindex': 3, 'ifname': 'wg-test', 'listen-port': 54318, 'peers': [{0: {'allowedips': [{0: {'cidr-mask': 0, 'family': 2, 'ipaddr': '0.0.0.0'}}, {0: {'cidr-mask': 0, 'family': 10, 'ipaddr': '::'}}], 'endpoint': b'[...]', 'last-handshake-time': {'nsec': 42, 'sec': 42}, 'persistent-keepalive-interval': 42, 'preshared-key': '[...]', 'protocol-version': 1, 'public-key': '[...]', 'rx-bytes': 42, 'tx-bytes': 42}}], 'private-key': '[...]', 'public-key': '[...]'}] Add another allowed IP prefix: $ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family wireguard \ --do set-device --json '{"ifindex":3,"peers":[ {"public-key":"6a df b1 83 a4 ..","allowedips":[ {"cidr-mask":0,"family":10,"ipaddr":"::"}]}]}' [1] As can be seen above, the "endpoint" is only dumped as binary data, as it can't be fully described in YNL. It's either a struct sockaddr_in or struct sockaddr_in6 depending on the attribute length. Signed-off-by: Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen <ast@fiberby.net> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>

2025-11-20devlink: support default values for param-get and param-setDaniel Zahka
Support querying and resetting to default param values. Introduce two new devlink netlink attrs: DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DEFAULT and DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_RESET_DEFAULT. The former is used to contain an optional parameter value inside of the param_value nested attribute. The latter is used in param-set requests from userspace to indicate that the driver should reset the param to its default value. To implement this, two new functions are added to the devlink driver api: devlink_param::get_default() and devlink_param::reset_default(). These callbacks allow drivers to implement default param actions for runtime and permanent cmodes. For driverinit params, the core latches the last value set by a driver via devl_param_driverinit_value_set(), and uses that as the default value for a param. Because default parameter values are optional, it would be impossible to discern whether or not a param of type bool has default value of false or not provided if the default value is encoded using a netlink flag type. For this reason, when a DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_BOOL has an associated default value, the default value is encoded using a u8 type.

2025-11-11devlink: Introduce switchdev_inactive eswitch modeSaeed Mahameed
Adds DEVLINK_ESWITCH_MODE_SWITCHDEV_INACTIVE attribute to UAPI and documentation. Before having traffic flow through an eswitch, a user may want to have the ability to block traffic towards the FDB until FDB is fully programmed and the user is ready to send traffic to it. For example: when two eswitches are present for vports in a multi-PF setup, one eswitch may take over the traffic from the other when the user chooses. Before this take over, a user may want to first program the inactive eswitch and then once ready redirect traffic to this new eswitch. switchdev modes transition semantics: legacy->switchdev_inactive: Create switchdev mode normally, traffic not allowed to flow yet. switchdev_inactive->switchdev: Enable traffic to flow. switchdev->switchdev_inactive: Block traffic on the FDB, FDB and representros state and content is preserved. When eswitch is configured to this mode, traffic is ignored/dropped on this eswitch FDB, while current configuration is kept, e.g FDB rules and netdev representros are kept available, FDB programming is allowed. Example: # start inactive switchdev devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev_inactive # setup TC rules, representors etc .. # activate devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251108070404.1551708-2-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

2025-09-19rtnetlink: add needed_{head,tail}room attributesAlasdair McWilliam
Various network interface types make use of needed_{head,tail}room values to efficiently reserve buffer space for additional encapsulation headers, such as VXLAN, Geneve, IPSec, etc. However, it is not currently possible to query these values in a generic way. Introduce ability to query the needed_{head,tail}room values of a network device via rtnetlink, such that applications that may wish to use these values can do so. For example, Cilium agent iterates over present devices based on user config (direct routing, vxlan, geneve, wireguard etc.) and in future will configure netkit in order to expose the needed_{head,tail}room into K8s pods. See b9ed315d3c4c ("netkit: Allow for configuring needed_{head,tail}room").

2025-09-18net: psp: add socket security association codeJakub Kicinski
Add the ability to install PSP Rx and Tx crypto keys on TCP connections. Netlink ops are provided for both operations. Rx side combines allocating a new Rx key and installing it on the socket. Theoretically these are separate actions, but in practice they will always be used one after the other. We can add distinct "alloc" and "install" ops later.

2025-09-18psp: add op for rotation of device keyJakub Kicinski
Rotating the device key is a key part of the PSP protocol design. Some external daemon needs to do it once a day, or so. Add a netlink op to perform this operation. Add a notification group for informing users that key has been rotated and they should rekey (next rotation will cut them off).

2025-09-18psp: base PSP device supportJakub Kicinski
Add a netlink family for PSP and allow drivers to register support. The "PSP device" is its own object. This allows us to perform more flexible reference counting / lifetime control than if PSP information was part of net_device. In the future we should also be able to "delegate" PSP access to software devices, such as *vlan, veth or netkit more easily.

2025-09-16doc/netlink: Fix typos in operation attributesRemy D. Farley
I'm trying to generate Rust bindings for netlink using the yaml spec. It looks like there's a typo in conntrack spec: attribute set conntrack-attrs defines attributes "counters-{orig,reply}" (plural), while get operation references "counter-{orig,reply}" (singular). The latter should be fixed, as it denotes multiple counters (packet and byte). The corresonding C define is CTA_COUNTERS_ORIG. Also, dump request references "nfgen-family" attribute, which neither exists in conntrack-attrs attrset nor ctattr_type enum. There's member of nfgenmsg struct with the same name, which is where family value is actually taken from. > static int ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct(struct net *net, struct sock *ctnl, > struct sk_buff *skb, > const struct nlmsghdr *nlh, > const struct nlattr * const cda[], > struct netlink_ext_ack *extack) > { > int err; > struct nfgenmsg *nfmsg = nlmsg_data(nlh); > u_int8_t u3 = nfmsg->nfgen_family; ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Signed-off-by: Remy D.
