2025-09-19selftests: ublk: kublk: add UBLK_F_BUF_REG_OFF_DAEMON to feat_mapUday Shankar
When UBLK_F_BUF_REG_OFF_DAEMON was added, we missed updating kublk's feat_map, which results in the feature being reported as "unknown." Add UBLK_F_BUF_REG_OFF_DAEMON to feat_map to fix this.

2025-09-19selftests: ublk: kublk: simplify feat_map definitionUday Shankar
Simplify the definition of feat_map by introducing a helper macro FEAT_NAME to avoid having to type the feature name twice. As a side effect, this changes the names in the feature list to be the full macro name instead of the abbreviated names that were used before, but this is a good change for clarity. Using the full feature macro names ruins the alignment of the output, so change the output format to put each feature's hex value before its name, as this is easier to align nicely. The output now looks as follows: root# ./kublk features ublk_drv features: 0x7fff 0x1 : UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY 0x2 : UBLK_F_URING_CMD_COMP_IN_TASK 0x4 : UBLK_F_NEED_GET_DATA 0x8 : UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY 0x10 : UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_REISSUE 0x20 : UBLK_F_UNPRIVILEGED_DEV 0x40 : UBLK_F_CMD_IOCTL_ENCODE 0x80 : UBLK_F_USER_COPY 0x100 : UBLK_F_ZONED 0x200 : UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_FAIL_IO 0x400 : UBLK_F_UPDATE_SIZE 0x800 : UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG 0x1000 : UBLK_F_QUIESCE 0x2000 : UBLK_F_PER_IO_DAEMON 0x4000 : unknown Signed-off-by: Uday Shankar <ushankar@purestorage.com> Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2025-09-19Merge patch series "can: populate ndo_change_mtu() to prevent buffer overflow"Marc Kleine-Budde
Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@kernel.org> says: Four drivers, namely etas_es58x, hi311x, sun4i_can and mcba_usb forgot to populate their net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu(). Because of that, the user is free to configure any MTU on these interfaces. This can be abused by an attacker who could craft some skbs and send them through PF_PACKET to perform a buffer overflow of up to 247 bytes in each of these drivers. This series contains four patches, one for each of the drivers, to add the missing ndo_change_mtu() callback. The descriptions contain detailed explanations of how the buffer overflow could be triggered.

2025-09-19can: mcba_usb: populate ndo_change_mtu() to prevent buffer overflowVincent Mailhol
Sending an PF_PACKET allows to bypass the CAN framework logic and to directly reach the xmit() function of a CAN driver. The only check which is performed by the PF_PACKET framework is to make sure that skb->len fits the interface's MTU. Unfortunately, because the mcba_usb driver does not populate its net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu(), it is possible for an attacker to configure an invalid MTU by doing, for example: $ ip link set can0 mtu 9999 After doing so, the attacker could open a PF_PACKET socket using the ETH_P_CANXL protocol: socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_CANXL)) to inject a malicious CAN XL frames. For example: struct canxl_frame frame = { .flags = 0xff, .len = 2048, }; The CAN drivers' xmit() function are calling can_dev_dropped_skb() to check that the skb is valid, unfortunately under above conditions, the malicious packet is able to go through can_dev_dropped_skb() checks: 1. the skb->protocol is set to ETH_P_CANXL which is valid (the function does not check the actual device capabilities). 2. the length is a valid CAN XL length. And so, mcba_usb_start_xmit() receives a CAN XL frame which it is not able to correctly handle and will thus misinterpret it as a CAN frame. This can result in a buffer overflow. The driver will consume cf->len as-is with no further checks on these lines: usb_msg.dlc = cf->len; memcpy(usb_msg.data, cf->data, usb_msg.dlc); Here, cf->len corresponds to the flags field of the CAN XL frame. In our previous example, we set canxl_frame->flags to 0xff. Because the maximum expected length is 8, a buffer overflow of 247 bytes occurs! Populate net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu() to ensure that the interface's MTU can not be set to anything bigger than CAN_MTU. By fixing the root cause, this prevents the buffer overflow.

2025-09-19can: hi311x: fix null pointer dereference when resuming from sleep before ↵Chen Yufeng
interface was enabled This issue is similar to the vulnerability in the `mcp251x` driver, which was fixed in commit 03c427147b2d ("can: mcp251x: fix resume from sleep before interface was brought up"). In the `hi311x` driver, when the device resumes from sleep, the driver schedules `priv->restart_work`. However, if the network interface was not previously enabled, the `priv->wq` (workqueue) is not allocated and initialized, leading to a null pointer dereference. To fix this, we move the allocation and initialization of the workqueue from the `hi3110_open` function to the `hi3110_can_probe` function. This ensures that the workqueue is properly initialized before it is used during device resume. And added logic to destroy the workqueue in the error handling paths of `hi3110_can_probe` and in the `hi3110_can_remove` function to prevent resource leaks.

A previous patch fixed a bug where new_prs should be assigned before checking housekeeping conflicts. This patch addresses another potential issue: the nocpu error check currently uses the xcpus which is not updated. Although no issue has been observed so far, the check should be performed using the new effective exclusive cpus. The comment has been removed because the function returns an error if nocpu checking fails, which is unrelated to the parent.

2025-09-19cpuset: fix failure to enable isolated partition when containing isolcpusChen Ridong
The 'isolcpus' parameter specified at boot time can be assigned to an isolated partition. While it is valid put the 'isolcpus' in an isolated partition, attempting to change a member cpuset to an isolated partition will fail if the cpuset contains any 'isolcpus'. For example, the system boots with 'isolcpus=9', and the following configuration works correctly: # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/ # mkdir test # echo 1 > test/cpuset.cpus # echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition isolated # echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition isolated # cat test/cpuset.cpus 9 However, the following steps to convert a member cpuset to an isolated partition will fail: # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/ # mkdir test # echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus # echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition isolated invalid (partition config conflicts with housekeeping setup) The issue occurs because the new partition state (new_prs) is used for validation against housekeeping constraints before it has been properly updated. To resolve this, move the assignment of new_prs before the housekeeping validation check when enabling a root partition.

'bpf-replace-path-sensitive-with-path-insensitive-live-stack-analysis' Eduard Zingerman says: ==================== bpf: replace path-sensitive with path-insensitive live stack analysis Consider the following program, assuming checkpoint is created for a state at instruction (3): 1: call bpf_get_prandom_u32() 2: *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 42 -- checkpoint #1 -- 3: if r0 != 0 goto +1 4: exit; 5: r0 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) 6: exit The verifier processes this program by exploring two paths: - 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 - 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 5 -> 6 When instruction (5) is processed, the current liveness tracking mechanism moves up the register parent links and records a "read" mark for stack slot -8 at checkpoint #1, stopping because of the "write" mark recorded at instruction (2). This patch set replaces the existing liveness tracking mechanism with a path-insensitive data flow analysis. The program above is processed as follows: - a data structure representing live stack slots for instructions 1-6 in frame #0 is allocated; - when instruction (2) is processed, record that slot -8 is written at instruction (2) in frame #0; - when instruction (5) is processed, record that slot -8 is read at instruction (5) in frame #0; - when instruction (6) is processed, propagate read mark for slot -8 up the control flow graph to instructions 3 and 2. The key difference is that the new mechanism operates on a control flow graph and associates read and write marks with pairs of (call chain, instruction index). In contrast, the old mechanism operates on verifier states and register parent links, associating read and write marks with verifier states. Motivation ========== As it stands, this patch set makes liveness tracking slightly less precise, as it no longer distinguishes individual program paths taken by the verifier during symbolic execution. See the "Impact on verification performance" section for details. However, this change is intended as a stepping stone toward the following goals: - Short term, integrate precision tracking into liveness analysis and remove the following code: - verifier backedge states accumulation in is_state_visited(); - most of the logic for precision tracking; - jump history tracking. - Long term, help with more efficient loop verification handling. Why integrating precision tracking? ----------------------------------- In a sense, precision tracking is very similar to liveness tracking. The data flow equations for liveness tracking look as follows: live_after = U [state[s].live_before for s in insn_successors(i)] state[i].live_before = (live_after / state[i].must_write) U state[i].may_read While data flow equations for precision tracking look as follows: precise_after = U [state[s].precise_before for s in insn_successors(i)] // if some of the instruction outputs are precise, // assume its inputs to be precise induced_precise = ⎧ state[i].may_read if (state[i].may_write ∩ precise_after) ≠ ∅ ⎨ ⎩ ∅ otherwise state[i].precise_before = (precise_after / state[i].must_write) ∩ induced_precise Where: - `may_read` set represents a union of all possibly read slots (any slot in `may_read` set might be by the instruction); - `must_write` set represents an intersection of all possibly written slots (any slot in `must_write` set is guaranteed to be written by the instruction). - `may_write` set represents a union of all possibly written slots (any slot in `may_write` set might be written by the instruction). This means that precision tracking can be implemented as a logical extension of liveness tracking: - track registers as well as stack slots; - add bit masks to represent `precise_before` and `may_write`; - add above equations for `precise_before` computation; - (linked registers require some additional consideration). Such extension would allow removal of: - precision propagation logic in verifier.c: - backtrack_insn() - mark_chain_precision() - propagate_{precision,backedges}() - push_jmp_history() and related data structures, which are only used by precision tracking; - add_scc_backedge() and related backedge state accumulation in is_state_visited(), superseded by per-callchain function state accumulated by liveness analysis. The hope here is that unifying liveness and precision tracking will reduce overall amount of code and make it easier to reason about. How this helps with loops? -------------------------- As it stands, this patch set shares the same deficiency as the current liveness tracking mechanism. Liveness marks on stack slots cannot be used to prune states when processing iterator-based loops: - such states still have branches to be explored; - meaning that not all stack slot reads have been discovered. For example: 1: while(iter_next()) { 2: if (...) 3: r0 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 8) 4: if (...) 5: r0 = *(u64 *)(r10 - 16) 6: ... 7: } For any checkpoint state created at instruction (1), it is only possible to rely on read marks for slots fp[-8] and fp[-16] once all child states of (1) have been explored. Thus, when the verifier transitions from (7) to (1), it cannot rely on read marks. However, sacrificing path-sensitivity makes it possible to run analysis defined in this patch set before main verification pass, if estimates for value ranges are available. E.g. for the following program: 1: while(iter_next()) { 2: r0 = r10 3: r0 += r2 4: r0 = *(u64 *)(r2 + 0) 5: ... 6: } If an estimate for `r2` range is available before the main verification pass, it can be used to populate read marks at instruction (4) and run the liveness analysis. Thus making conservative liveness information available during loops verification. Such estimates can be provided by some form of value range analysis. Value range analysis is also necessary to address loop verification from another angle: computing boundaries for loop induction variables and iteration counts. The hope here is that the new liveness tracking mechanism will support the broader goal of making loop verification more efficient. Validation ========== The change was tested on three program sets: - bpf selftests - sched_ext - Meta's internal set of programs Commit [#8] enables a special mode where both the current and new liveness analyses are enabled simultaneously. This mode signals an error if the new algorithm considers a stack slot dead while the current algorithm assumes it is alive. This mode was very useful for debugging. At the time of posting, no such errors have been reported for the above program sets. [#8] "bpf: signal error if old liveness is more conservative than new" Impact on memory consumption ============================ Debug patch [1] extends the kernel and veristat to count the amount of memory allocated for storing analysis data.

2025-09-19selftests/bpf: __not_msg() tag for test_loader frameworkEduard Zingerman
This patch adds tags __not_msg(<msg>) and __not_msg_unpriv(<msg>). Test fails if <msg> is found in verifier log. If __msg_not() is situated between __msg() tags framework matches __msg() tags first, and then checks that <msg> is not present in a portion of a log between bracketing __msg() tags. __msg_not() tags bracketed by a same __msg() group are effectively unordered.

2025-09-19bpf: table based bpf_insn_successors()Eduard Zingerman
Converting bpf_insn_successors() to use lookup table makes it ~1.5 times faster. Also remove unnecessary conditionals: - `idx + 1 < prog->len` is unnecessary because after check_cfg() all jump targets are guaranteed to be within a program; - `i == 0 || succ[0] != dst` is unnecessary because any client of bpf_insn_successors() can handle duplicate edges: - compute_live_registers() - compute_scc() Moving bpf_insn_successors() to liveness.c allows its inlining in liveness.c:__update_stack_liveness(). Such inlining speeds up __update_stack_liveness() by ~40%. bpf_insn_successors() is used in both verifier.c and liveness.c. perf shows such move does not negatively impact users in verifier.c, as these are executed only once before main varification pass. Unlike __update_stack_liveness() which can be triggered multiple times.

2025-09-19bpf: enable callchain sensitive stack liveness trackingEduard Zingerman
Allocate analysis instance: - Add bpf_stack_liveness_{init,free}() calls to bpf_check(). Notify the instance about any stack reads and writes: - Add bpf_mark_stack_write() call at every location where REG_LIVE_WRITTEN is recorded for a stack slot. - Add bpf_mark_stack_read() call at every location mark_reg_read() is called. - Both bpf_mark_stack_{read,write}() rely on env->liveness->cur_instance callchain being in sync with env->cur_state. It is possible to update env->liveness->cur_instance every time a mark read/write is called, but that costs a hash table lookup and is noticeable in the performance profile. Hence, manually reset env->liveness->cur_instance whenever the verifier changes env->cur_state call stack: - call bpf_reset_live_stack_callchain() when the verifier enters a subprogram; - call bpf_update_live_stack() when the verifier exits a subprogram (it implies the reset). Make sure bpf_update_live_stack() is called for a callchain before issuing liveness queries. And make sure that bpf_update_live_stack() is called for any callee callchain first: - Add bpf_update_live_stack() call at every location that processes BPF_EXIT: - exit from a subprogram; - before pop_stack() call. This makes sure that bpf_update_live_stack() is called for callee callchains before caller callchains. Make sure must_write marks are set to zero for instructions that do not always access the stack: - Wrap do_check_insn() with bpf_reset_stack_write_marks() / bpf_commit_stack_write_marks() calls. Any calls to bpf_mark_stack_write() are accumulated between this pair of calls. If no bpf_mark_stack_write() calls were made it means that the instruction does not access stack (at-least on the current verification path) and it is important to record this fact. Finally, use bpf_live_stack_query_init() / bpf_stack_slot_alive() to query stack liveness info. The manual tracking of the correct order for callee/caller bpf_update_live_stack() calls is a bit convoluted and may warrant some automation in future revisions.

2025-09-19bpf: callchain sensitive stack liveness tracking using CFGEduard Zingerman
This commit adds a flow-sensitive, context-sensitive, path-insensitive data flow analysis for live stack slots: - flow-sensitive: uses program control flow graph to compute data flow values; - context-sensitive: collects data flow values for each possible call chain in a program; - path-insensitive: does not distinguish between separate control flow graph paths reaching the same instruction. Compared to the current path-sensitive analysis, this approach trades some precision for not having to enumerate every path in the program. This gives a theoretical capability to run the analysis before main verification pass. See cover letter for motivation. The basic idea is as follows: - Data flow values indicate stack slots that might be read and stack slots that are definitely written. - Data flow values are collected for each (call chain, instruction number) combination in the program. - Within a subprogram, data flow values are propagated using control flow graph. - Data flow values are transferred from entry instructions of callee subprograms to call sites in caller subprograms. In other words, a tree of all possible call chains is constructed. Each node of this tree represents a subprogram. Read and write marks are collected for each instruction of each node. Live stack slots are first computed for lower level nodes. Then, information about outer stack slots that might be read or are definitely written by a subprogram is propagated one level up, to the corresponding call instructions of the upper nodes. Procedure repeats until root node is processed. In the absence of value range analysis, stack read/write marks are collected during main verification pass, and data flow computation is triggered each time verifier.c:states_equal() needs to query the information. Implementation details are documented in kernel/bpf/liveness.c. Quantitative data about verification performance changes and memory consumption is in the cover letter.

2025-09-19bpf: compute instructions postorder per subprogramEduard Zingerman
The next patch would require doing postorder traversal of individual subprograms. Facilitate this by moving env->cfg.insn_postorder computation from check_cfg() to a separate pass, as check_cfg() descends into called subprograms (and it needs to, because of merge_callee_effects() logic). env->cfg.insn_postorder is used only by compute_live_registers(), this function does not track cross subprogram dependencies, thus the change does not affect it's operation.

Variable idx is set in the loop, but is never used resulting in dead code. Building with GCC 16, which enables -Werror=unused-but-set-parameter= by default results in build error. This patch removes the idx parameter, since all the callers of the fm10k_unbind_hw_stats_q as 0 as idx anyways.

The variable 'err' in ixgbevf_resume() is used to store the return value of different functions, which return an int. Currently, 'err' is declared as u32, which is semantically incorrect and misleading. In the Linux kernel, u32 is typically reserved for fixed-width data used in hardware interfaces or protocol structures. Using it for a generic error code may confuse reviewers or developers into thinking the value is hardware-related or size-constrained. Replace u32 with int to reflect the actual usage and improve code clarity and semantic correctness. No functional change.

Add HW timestamping statistics support - through implementing get_ts_stats. Timestamp statistics include correctly timestamped packets, discarded, skipped and flushed during PTP release. Most of the stats are collected per vport, only requests skipped due to lack of free latch index are collected per Tx queue. Statistics can be obtained using kernel ethtool since version 6.10 with: ethtool -I -T <interface> The output will include: Statistics: tx_pkts: 15 tx_lost: 0 tx_err: 0 Signed-off-by: Milena Olech <milena.olech@intel.com> Co-developed-by: Anton Nadezhdin <anton.nadezhdin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Anton Nadezhdin <anton.nadezhdin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Aleksandr Loktionov <aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Tested-by: Samuel Salin <Samuel.salin@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Paul Menzel <pmenzel@molgen.mpg.de> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
2025-09-19ice: Remove deprecated ice_lag_move_new_vf_nodes() callDave Ertman
Moving the code to handle the LAG part of a VF reset to helper functions deprecated the function ice_lag_move_new_vf_nodes(). The cleanup missed a call to this function in the error path of ice_vc_cfg_qs_msg(). In the case that would end in the error path, a NULL pointer would be encountered due to the empty list of netdevs for members of the aggregate. Remove the unnecessary call to ice_lag_move_new_vf_nodes(), and since this is the only call to this function, remove the function as well.

2025-09-19ice: add E830 Earliest TxTime First Offload supportPaul Greenwalt
E830 supports Earliest TxTime First (ETF) hardware offload, which is configured via the ETF Qdisc on a per-queue basis (see tc-etf(8)). ETF introduces a new Tx flow mechanism that utilizes a timestamp ring (tstamp_ring) alongside the standard Tx ring. This timestamp ring is used to indicate when hardware will transmit a packet. Tx Time is supported on the first 2048 Tx queues of the device, and the NVM image limits the maximum number of Tx queues to 2048 for the device. The allocation and initialization of the timestamp ring occur when the feature is enabled on a specific Tx queue via tc-etf. The requested Tx Time queue index cannot be greater than the number of Tx queues (vsi->num_txq). To support ETF, the following flags and bitmap are introduced: - ICE_F_TXTIME: Device feature flag set for E830 NICs, indicating ETF support. - txtime_txqs: PF-level bitmap set when ETF is enabled and cleared when disabled for a specific Tx queue. It is used by ice_is_txtime_ena() to check if ETF is allocated and configured on any Tx queue, which is checked during Tx ring allocation. - ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME: Per Tx ring flag set when ETF is allocated and configured for a specific Tx queue. It determines ETF status during packet transmission and is checked by ice_is_txtime_ena() to verify if ETF is enabled on any Tx queue. Due to a hardware issue that can result in a malicious driver detection event, additional timestamp descriptors are required when wrapping around the timestamp ring. Up to 64 additional timestamp descriptors are reserved, reducing the available Tx descriptors. To accommodate this, ICE_MAX_NUM_DESC_BY_MAC is introduced, defining: - E830: Maximum Tx descriptor count of 8096 (8K - 32 - 64 for timestamp fetch descriptors). - E810 and E82X: Maximum Tx descriptor count of 8160 (8K - 32).
