Avoid output arguments for returning drop reason where possible - Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata about the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints - Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing - Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s, thus making the table allocation size a power of two - Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag - Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the randomly selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space - Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing - Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter - Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid buffer size drifting up - Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP - Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection. This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage - Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023) - Remove support for building IPv6 as a module. Remove the now unnecessary function calling indirection Cross-tree stuff: - Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless, it's considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it Netfilter: - Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU. Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate - Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex - Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure - Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable Wireless: - Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth - Radar detection improvements - Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs - Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and client probing - New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking, aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware Driver API: - Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID).

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 20:21:29 +0200

Merge branch 'convert-config_ipv6-to-built-in-and-remove-stubs'Fernando Fernandez Mancera says:====================Convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in and remove stubsHistorically, the Linux kernel has supported compiling the IPv6 stack asa loadable module. While this made sense in the early days of IPv6adoption, modern deployments and distributions overwhelmingly eitherbuild IPv6 directly into the kernel (CONFIG_IPV6=y) or disable itentirely (CONFIG_IPV6=n). The modular IPv6 use-case offers image sizeand memory savings for specific setups, this benefit is outweighed bythe architectural burden it imposes on the subsystems on implementationand maintenance.In addition, most of the distributions are already using CONFIG_IPV6=yby default [1], including openWRT [2] and Android gki_defconfig [3]. Sothis won't have an impact on them. The most impacted architecture wouldprobably be arm64 as their default config is still using CONFIG_IPV6=m.To allow core networking, BPF, Netfilter, and various device drivers tosafely interact with a potentially unloaded IPv6 module, the kernelrelies on indirect call structures like ipv6_stub, ipv6_bpf_stub, andnf_ipv6_ops, along with dynamic RCU registrations for things like ICMPv6senders.This patch series addresses this by changing CONFIG_IPV6 from a tristateto a boolean, enforcing that IPv6 is either built-in or disabled. Thisallows us to completely rip out the stub infrastructures and safelyreplace them with direct function calls.The bloat-o-meter report the following results for m68k, arm64, x86_64defconfig.m68k (keep on mind that CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled now):add/remove: 65/938 grow/shrink: 36/254 up/down: 3022/-49692 (-46670)arm64:add/remove: 1251/265 grow/shrink: 81/46 up/down: 448740/-71519 (377221)x86_64:add/remove: 62/98 grow/shrink: 10/39 up/down: 2497/-4357 (-1860)Considering that each new kernel release increases sizes by 30-40KiB onaverage, this size increase isn't a huge jump for the distributions thatare still using CONFIG_IPV6=m. For the ones that are already usingCONFIG_IPV6=y, the size is reduced actually.All the patches has been independently build tested. With allmodconfigand allmodconfig + CONFIG_IPV6=n. In addition, net selftest has been runagainst them on virtme-ng.The series applied as a whole as been tested with allyesconfig and alsoallyesconfig + CONFIG_IPV6=n but not all patches has been independentlytested this way.[1] https://github.com/nyrahul/linux-kernel-configs[2] https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/832e7b817221d288df76b763ca12c585365db5d8[3] https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/refs/heads/android-mainline/arch/arm64/configs/gki_defconfig====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260325120928.15848-1-fmancera@suse.deSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski List of files: /linux/drivers/infiniband/Kconfig

309b905deee595619cc38719f48d63d57b8bff3d - ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up Kconfigs

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 13:08:42 +0100

ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up KconfigsMaintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specificsetups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden itimposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,drop it.Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfigdependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. Inaddition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()and MODULE_LICENSE().This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is notpossible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a racecondition on IPv6 addrconf.Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=yexcept for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image isincreasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 onthis architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirementsand recommendations [1].[1] http://www.linux-m68k.org/faq/ram.htmlSigned-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera Tested-by: Ricardo B.
