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: -

My goal is to have no lock on thetx side at all and eventually drop CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE, if that ispossible [1].Start removing target_list_lock on certain parts of the code. This patchtransforms the userdata array into a RCU-protected pointer, and uses thedynamic mutex as the write lock.Added a selftest, given we didn't have any netconsole selftest foruserdata operations. Feel free to drop it if this is not useful, dearmaintainers.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251121-nbcon-v1-0-503d17b2b4af@debian.org/[1]Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>====================Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260810-netcons-userdata-rcu-v3-0-f65557f769ce@debian.orgSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> List of files: /linux/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netconsole/netcons_userdata.sh Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:05:04 +0200 Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netconsole/netcons_userdata.sh#3d2452c2fb2fe37d8b1eb5b814561e71eb8652f3 selftests: netconsole: add a userdata torture testThe userdata payload is rebuilt and republished on every configfs write,including while the target is enabled and messages are being sent.Add netcons_userdata.sh that runs random tests with userdata.Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>Reviewed-by: Gustavo Luiz Duarte <gustavold@gmail.com>Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260810-netcons-userdata-rcu-v3-2-f65557f769ce@debian.orgSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> List of files: /linux/tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netconsole/netcons_userdata.sh Mon, 10 Aug 2026 11:36:12 +0200 Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>
