Merge tag 'net-next-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP - Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining. 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). Support shared devlink instances which span multiple PFs - Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events (implement in mlx5 and fbnic) - Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering (implement in mana) - Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes - Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x) - Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5) Misc: - Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter Drivers - Software: - macvlan: support multicast rx for bridge ports with shared source MAC address - team: decouple receive and transmit enablement for IEEE 802.3ad LACP "independent control" - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox: - support high order pages in zero-copy mode (for payload coalescing) - support multiple packets in a page (for systems with 64kB pages) - Broadcom 25-400GE (bnxt): - implement XDP RSS hash metadata extraction - add software fallback for UDP GSO, lowering the IOMMU cost - Broadcom 800GE (bnge): - add link status and configuration handling - add various HW and SW statistics - Marvell/Cavium: - NPC HW block support for cn20k - Huawei (hinic3): - add mailbox / control queue - add rx VLAN offload - add driver info and link management - Ethernet NICs: - Marvell/Aquantia: - support reading SFP module info on some AQC100 cards - Realtek PCI (r8169): - add support for RTL8125cp - Realtek USB (r8152): - support for the RTL8157 5Gbit chip - add 2500baseT EEE status/configuration support - Ethernet NICs embedded and off-the-shelf IP: - Synopsys (stmmac): - cleanup and reorganize SerDes handling and PCS support - cleanup descriptor handling and per-platform data - cleanup and consolidate MDIO defines and handling - shrink driver memory use for internal structures - improve Tx IRQ coalescing - improve TCP segmentation handling - add support for Spacemit K3 - Cadence (macb): - support PHYs that have inband autoneg disabled with GEM - support IEEE 802.3az EEE - rework usrio capabilities and handling - AMD (xgbe): - improve power management for S0i3 - improve TX resilience for link-down handling - Virtual: - Google cloud vNIC: - support larger ring sizes in DQO-QPL mode - improve HW-GRO handling - support UDP GSO for DQO format - PCIe NTB: - support queue count configuration - Ethernet PHYs: - automatically disable PHY autonomous EEE if MAC is in charge - Broadcom: - add BCM84891/BCM84892 support - Micrel: - support for LAN9645X internal PHY - Realtek: - add RTL8224 pair order support - support PHY LEDs on RTL8211F-VD - support spread spectrum clocking (SSC) - Maxlinear: - add PHY-level statistics via ethtool - Ethernet switches: - Maxlinear (mxl862xx): - support for bridge offloading - support for VLANs - support driver statistics - Bluetooth: - large number of fixes and new device IDs - Mediatek: - support MT6639 (MT7927) - support MT7902 SDIO - WiFi: - Intel (iwlwifi): - UNII-9 and continuing UHR work - MediaTek (mt76): - mt7996/mt7925 MLO fixes/improvements - mt7996 NPU support (HW eth/wifi traffic offload) - Qualcomm (ath12k): - monitor mode support on IPQ5332 - basic hwmon temperature reporting - support IPQ5424 - Realtek: - add USB RX aggregation to improve performance - add USB TX flow control by tracking in-flight URBs - Cellular: - IPA v5.2 support"* tag 'net-next-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1561 commits) net: pse-pd: fix kernel-doc function name for pse_control_find_by_id() wireguard: device: use exit_rtnl callback instead of manual rtnl_lock in pre_exit wireguard: allowedips: remove redundant space tools: ynl: add sample for wireguard wireguard: allowedips: Use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() MAINTAINERS: Add netkit selftest files selftests/net: Add additional test coverage in nk_qlease selftests/net: Split netdevsim tests from HW tests in nk_qlease tools/ynl: Make YnlFamily closeable as a context manager net: airoha: Add missing PPE configurations in airoha_ppe_hw_init() net: airoha: Fix VIP configuration for AN7583 SoC net: caif: clear client service pointer on teardown net: strparser: fix skb_head leak in strp_abort_strp() net: usb: cdc-phonet: fix skb frags[] overflow in rx_complete() selftests/bpf: add test for xdp_master_redirect with bond not up net, bpf: fix null-ptr-deref in xdp_master_redirect() for down master net: airoha: Remove PCE_MC_EN_MASK bit in REG_FE_PCE_CFG configuration sctp: disable BH before calling udp_tunnel_xmit_skb() sctp: fix missing encap_port propagation for GSO fragments net: airoha: Rely on net_device pointer in ETS callbacks ...

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 07:22:16 +0200

wifi: rtw89: usb: fix TX flow control by tracking in-flight URBsrtw89_usb_ops_check_and_reclaim_tx_resource() returns a hardcodedplaceholder value (42) instead of actual TX resource availability.This violates mac80211's flow control contract, preventing backpressureand causing uncontrolled URB accumulation under sustained TX load.Fix by adding per-channel atomic counters (tx_inflight[]) that trackin-flight URBs. Increment before usb_submit_urb() with rollback onfailure, decrement in the completion callback, and return theremaining capacity to mac80211. The firmware command channel (CH12)always returns 1 since it has its own flow control.The pre-increment pattern prevents a race where USB core completes theURB on another CPU before the submitting code increments the counter.128 URBs per channel provides headroom for RTL8832CU at 160 MHzbandwidth. Tested on RTL8852AU (USB3 80 MHz) where 64 and 128 showedequivalent throughput, and on RTL8832AU where 128 sustained fullthroughput under 8-stream parallel load.Tested on D-Link DWA-X1850 (RTL8832AU), kernel 6.19.8, Fedora 43: Unpatched -> Patched (128 URBs) USB3 5GHz UL: 844 -> 837 Mbps (no regression) USB3 5GHz retx: 3 -> 0 USB3 2.4GHz UL: 162 -> 164 Mbps (no regression) 4-stream UL: 858 -> 826 Mbps (within variance) 8-stream UL: 872 -> 826 Mbps (within variance) UDP flood: 0% loss (690K datagrams) 60-second soak: 855 Mbps, 0 retransmitsReported-by: morrownr Signed-off-by: Lucid Duck Acked-by: Ping-Ke Shih Signed-off-by: Ping-Ke Shih Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260402052216.207858-1-lucid_duck@justthetip.ca List of files: /linux/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/usb.c

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 05:03:00 +0100

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL argumentsThis converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been splitover multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify theresulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the nextline.Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but forme the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in themiddle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of thesyntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'scripts.The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really wantwhitespace cleanup anyway.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds List of files: /linux/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/usb.c
