91ec2035134982b98fab0609a9fd8480e8217dc1 - Merge tag 'net-next-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 17:16:04 +0200

Merge tag 'net-next-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust... Core & protocols: - A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence: - per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g. veth, ipvlan, tunnels) - rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE) - prepare software drivers and TC qdiscs for rtnl_lock-less GET - Support BIG TCP (>64kB TSO) in UDP tunnels (vxlan, geneve) - Support buffers larger than PAGE_SIZE in devmem zero-copy API - Improve MPTCP handling of extreme memory pressure handling, when out-of-order queue had to be pruned - Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST - Expose the route deletion reason in RTM_DELROUTE - Add a SO_RIGHTS_NOTRUNC option to UNIX sockets to enable more useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages: instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot - IPv6 Segment Routing - support looking up the post-encap SID (address) in a different/specified routing table - Support PRP RedBox (interlink) creation - Support per-nexthop UDP dst port in VXLAN - Continue converting getsockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter Ethernet: - Merge initial CXL support for AMD/Solarflare NICs (shared branch with the CXL tree) - New drivers: - ADIN1140 10BASE-T1S MACPHY - Initial skeleton of Intel iXD and ZTE Dinghai drivers - High-speed NICs: -

Marvell (octeontx2-pf): - link RQ page pools to netdev for Netlink stats - Google vNIC: - XDP metadata support for DQ RDA - Microsoft vNIC: - support forcing full-page RX buffers - Other NICs: - Synopsys IP: - eic7700: support for eth1 - Microchip (lan743x): - support for RMII interface - Wangxun: - support for ethtool -G and -C for VFs - add Tx timeout and PCIe error handling - Intel (igb/igc): - RSS key get/set support - support for forcing link speed without auto-negotiation - Switches: - NXP (dpaa2): - support bonding/LAG offload - Mediatek: - mt7530: EN7528 support - initial support for MT7628 - Micrel (ksz8/9): - refactoring work to move towards library model - PTP support for KSZ8463 - nVidia/Mellanox: - support rtnl-lock-less ethtool callbacks - Realtek: - rtl8366rb: use generic RTL83xx code - support SGMII and HSGMII for RTL8367S - PHYs: - Airoha: - EcoNet EN7528 PHY support - DAPU Telecom - DAPU Telecom DAP8211R(I) Gigabit PHY support - Realtek: - support RTL8261C_CG - support RTL8261D Wireless: - nl80211: per-link statistics support for multi-link operation -

There is no practicalreason to run OVS from 2017 on a recent kernel.While it's technically a uAPI change in some sense, from the user'sperspective this removal looks indistinguishable from the kernel builtwith CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE/VXLAN/GRE disabled. And it seems likeremoval of unused drivers/modules is not a rare event these days.There are 3 parts to this set:1. The first patch does the tunnel port removal, which is the primary goal here.2. Patches 2 and 3 remove extra infrastructure that is no longer in use by anything inside the openvswitch module.3. Patches 4-6 remove functions from gre/vxlan/geneve modules that were added for openvswitch in the past to support the tunnel types. openvswitch is the only in-tree consumer of these functions.Version 1: - Rebased. - Removed the tunnel modules from the new OVS selftest config. - Addressed RFC review from Sashiko: * Made ovs_netdev_link() static. * Restored -EOPNOTSUPP if OVS_VPORT_ATTR_OPTIONS was provided. * Removed retry in ovs_vport_cmd_new() as not needed anymore.RFC: - https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260513183559.2141010-1-i.maximets@ovn.org====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260804182049.2289754-1-i.maximets@ovn.orgSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni List of files: /linux/net/openvswitch/Makefile

c4ab7b56be0f6f18f025ddc8d469cce54f82415a - openvswitch: add trace points

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 16:02:33 +0200

openvswitch: add trace pointsThis makes openvswitch module use the event tracing frameworkto log the upcall interface and action execution pipeline. Whenusing openvswitch as the packet forwarding engine, some types ofdebugging are made possible simply by using the ovs-vswitchd'sofproto/trace command. However, such a command has somelimitations: 1. When trying to trace packets that go through the CT action, the state of the packet can't be determined, and probably would be potentially wrong. 2. Deducing problem packets can sometimes be difficult as well even if many of the flows are known 3. It's possible to use the openvswitch module even without the ovs-vswitchd (although, not common use).Introduce the event tracing points here to make it possible forworking through these problems in kernel space. The style iscopied from the mac80211 driver-trace / trace code forconsistency - this creates some checkpatch splats, but theofficial 'guide' for adding tracepoints, as well as the existingexamples all add the same splats so it seems acceptable.Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole Signed-off-by: David S.
