This patch fixes an issue where two different flows on the same RXq
produce the same hash resulting in continuous flow overwrites.
Flow #1: A packet for Flow #1 comes in, kernel calls the steering
function. The driver gives back a filter id. The kernel saves
this filter id in the selected slot. Later, the driver's
service task checks if any filters have expired and then
installs the rule for Flow #1.
Flow #2: A packet for Flow #2 comes in. It goes through the same steps.
But this time, the chosen slot is being used by Flow #1. The
driver gives a new filter id and the kernel saves it in the
same slot. When the driver's service task runs, it runs through
all the flows, checks if Flow #1 should be expired, the kernel
returns True as the slot has a different filter id, and then
the driver installs the rule for Flow #2.
Flow #1: Another packet for Flow #1 comes in. The same thing repeats.
The slot is overwritten with a new filter id for Flow #1.
This causes a repeated cycle of flow programming for missed packets,
wasting CPU cycles while not improving performance. This problem happens
at higher rates when the RPS table is small, but tests show it still
happens even with 12,000 connections and an RPS size of 16K per queue
(global table size = 144x16K = 64K).
This patch prevents overwriting an rps_dev_flow entry if it is active.
The intention is that it is better to do aRFS for the first flow instead
of hurting all flows on the same hash. Without this, two (or more) flows
on one RX queue with the same hash can keep overwriting each other. This
causes the driver to reprogram the flow repeatedly.
Changes:
1. Add a new 'hash' field to struct rps_dev_flow.
2. Add rps_flow_is_active(): a helper function to check if a flow is
active or not, extracted from rps_may_expire_flow(). It is further
simplified as per reviewer feedback.
3. In set_rps_cpu():
- Avoid overwriting by programming a new filter if:
- The slot is not in use, or
- The slot is in use but the flow is not active, or
- The slot has an active flow with the same hash, but target CPU
differs.
- Save the hash in the rps_dev_flow entry.
4. rps_may_expire_flow(): Use earlier extracted rps_flow_is_active().
Testing & results:
- Driver: ice (E810 NIC), Kernel: net-next
- #CPUs = #RXq = 144 (1:1)
- Number of flows: 12K
- Eight RPS settings from 256 to 32768. Though RPS=256 is not ideal,
it is still sufficient to cover 12K flows (256*144 rx-queues = 64K
global table slots)
- Global Table Size = 144 * RPS (effectively equal to 256 * RPS)
- Each RPS test duration = 8 mins (org code) + 8 mins (new code).
- Metrics captured on client

When performing Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) on an IPv6 packet that
contains extension headers, the kernel incorrectly requests checksum offload
if the egress device only advertises NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM feature, which has
a strict contract: it supports checksum offload only for plain TCP or UDP
over IPv6 and explicitly does not support packets with extension headers.
The current GSO logic violates this contract by failing to disable the feature
for packets with extension headers, such as those used in GREoIPv6 tunnels.
This violation results in the device being asked to perform an operation
it cannot support, leading to a `skb_warn_bad_offload` warning and a collapse
of network throughput. While device TSO/USO is correctly bypassed in favor
of software GSO for these packets, the GSO stack must be explicitly told not
to request checksum offload.
Mask NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, NETIF_F_TSO6 and NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4
in gso_features_check if the IPv6 header contains extension headers to compute
checksum in software.
The exception is a BIG TCP extension, which, as stated in commit
68e068cabd ("net: reenable NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM offload for BIG TCP packets"):
"The feature is only enabled on devices that support BIG TCP TSO.
The header is only present for PF_PACKET taps like tcpdump,
and not transmitted by physical devices."

We have to make sure that all future NAPIs will have the right threaded
state when the state is configured on the device level.
We chose not to have an "unset" state for threaded, and not to wipe
the NAPI config clean when channels are explicitly disabled.
This means the persistent config structs "exist" even when their NAPIs
are not instantiated.
Differently put - the NAPI persistent state lives in the net_device
(ncfg == struct napi_config):
,--- [napi 0] - [napi 1]
[dev] | |
`--- [ncfg 0] - [ncfg 1]
so say we a device with 2 queues but only 1 enabled:
,--- [napi 0]
[dev] |
`--- [ncfg 0] - [ncfg 1]
now we set the device to threaded=1:
,---------- [napi 0 (thr:1)]
[dev(thr:1)] |
`---------- [ncfg 0 (thr:1)] - [ncfg 1 (thr:?)]
Since [ncfg 1] was not attached to a NAPI during configuration we
skipped it. If we create a NAPI for it later it will have the old
setting (presumably disabled). One could argue if this is right
or not "in principle", but it's definitely not how things worked
before per-NAPI config..

Commit 2677010e77 ("Add support to set NAPI threaded for individual
NAPI") added support to enable/disable threaded napi using netlink. This
also extended the napi config save/restore functionality to set the napi
threaded state. This breaks netdev reset for drivers that use napi
threaded at device level and also use napi config save/restore on
napi_disable/napi_enable. Basically on netdev with napi threaded enabled
at device level, a napi_enable call will get stuck trying to stop the
napi kthread. This is because the napi->config->threaded is set to
disabled when threaded is enabled at device level.
The issue can be reproduced on virtio-net device using qemu. To
reproduce the issue run following,
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/threaded
ethtool -L eth0 combined 1
Update the threaded state in napi config in netif_set_threaded and add a
new test that verifies this scenario.

Add a new SKB drop reason (SKB_DROP_REASON_PFMEMALLOC) to track packets
dropped due to memory pressure. In production environments, we've observed
memory exhaustion reported by memory layer stack traces, but these drops
were not properly tracked in the SKB drop reason infrastructure.
While most network code paths now properly report pfmemalloc drops, some
protocol-specific socket implementations still use sk_filter() without
drop reason tracking:
- Bluetooth L2CAP sockets
- CAIF sockets
- IUCV sockets
- Netlink sockets
- SCTP sockets
- Unix domain sockets
These remaining cases represent less common paths and could be converted
in a follow-up patch if needed. The current implementation provides
significantly improved observability into memory pressure events in the
network stack, especially for key protocols like TCP and UDP, helping to
diagnose problems in production environments.

enabling threaded NAPI polling at individual NAPI level using netlink.
Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded

MSG_ZEROCOPY data must be copied before data is queued to local
sockets, to avoid indefinite timeout until memory release.
This test is performed by skb_orphan_frags_rx, which is called when
looping an egress skb to packet sockets, error queue or ingress path.
To preserve zerocopy for skbs that are looped to ingress but are then
forwarded to an egress device rather than delivered locally, defer
this last check until an skb enters the local IP receive path.
This is analogous to existing behavior of skb_clear_delivery_time.

ref_tracker that get created in ref_tracker_dir_init(). The format will
be "class@%px". The current "name" string can vary between
ref_tracker_dir objects of the same type, so it's not suitable for this

Add a new "class" string to the ref_tracker dir that describes the

Also, in the i915 driver, gate the creation of debugfs files on whether
the dentry pointer is still set to NULL. CI has shown that the

Once the THREADED napi is disabled, the napi kthread should also be
stopped. Keeping the kthread intact after disabling THREADED napi makes
the PID of this kthread show up in the output of netlink 'napi-get' and
ps -ef output.
The is discussed in the patch below:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250502191548.559cc416@kernel.org
NAPI kthread should stop only if,
- There are no pending napi poll scheduled for this thread.
- There are no new napi poll scheduled for this thread while it has
stopped.
- The ____napi_schedule can correctly fallback to the softirq for napi
polling.
Since napi_schedule_prep provides mutual exclusion over STATE_SCHED bit,
it is safe to unset the STATE_THREADED when SCHED_THREADED is set or the
SCHED bit is not set. SCHED_THREADED being set means that SCHED is
already set and the kthread owns this napi.
To disable threaded napi, unset STATE_THREADED bit safely if
SCHED_THREADED is set or SCHED is unset. Once STATE_THREADED is unset
safely then wait for the kthread to unset the SCHED_THREADED bit so it
safe to stop the kthread.
Add a new test in nl_netdev to verify this behaviour.

The MANA driver's probe registers netdevice via the following call chain:
mana_probe()
register_netdev()
register_netdevice()
register_netdevice() calls notifier callback for netvsc driver,
holding the netdev mutex via netdev_lock_ops().
Further this netvsc notifier callback end up attempting to acquire the
same lock again in dev_xdp_propagate() leading to deadlock.
netvsc_netdev_event()
netvsc_vf_setxdp()
dev_xdp_propagate()
This deadlock was not observed so far because net_shaper_ops was never set,
and thus the lock was effectively a no-op in this case. Fix this by using
netif_xdp_propagate() instead of dev_xdp_propagate() to avoid recursive
locking in this path.
And, since no deadlock is observed on the other path which is via
netvsc_probe, add the lock exclusivly for that path.
Also, clean up the unregistration path by removing the unnecessary call to
netvsc_vf_setxdp(), since unregister_netdevice_many_notify() already
performs this cleanup via dev_xdp_uninstall().
