2025-03-25net-timestamp: COMPLETION timestamp on packet tx completionPauli Virtanen
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_COMPLETION, for requesting a software timestamp when hardware reports a packet completed. Completion tstamp is useful for Bluetooth, as hardware timestamps do not exist in the HCI specification except for ISO packets, and the hardware has a queue where packets may wait. In this case the software SND timestamp only reflects the kernel-side part of the total latency (usually small) and queue length (usually 0 unless HW buffers congested), whereas the completion report time is more informative of the true latency. It may also be useful in other cases where HW TX timestamps cannot be obtained and user wants to estimate an upper bound to when the TX probably happened.

2025-03-25tcp: support TCP_RTO_MIN_US for set/getsockopt useJason Xing
Support adjusting/reading RTO MIN for socket level by using set/getsockopt(). This new option has the same effect as TCP_BPF_RTO_MIN, which means it doesn't affect RTAX_RTO_MIN usage (by using ip route...). Considering that bpf option was implemented before this patch, so we need to use a standalone new option for pure tcp set/getsockopt() use. When the socket is created, its icsk_rto_min is set to the default value that is controlled by sysctl_tcp_rto_min_us. Then if application calls setsockopt() with TCP_RTO_MIN_US flag to pass a valid value, then icsk_rto_min will be overridden in jiffies unit. This patch adds WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE to avoid data-race around icsk_rto_min.

2025-03-19netconsole: allow selection of egress interface via MAC addressUday Shankar
Currently, netconsole has two methods of configuration - module parameter and configfs. The former interface allows for netconsole activation earlier during boot (by specifying the module parameter on the kernel command line), so it is preferred for debugging issues which arise before userspace is up/the configfs interface can be used. The module parameter syntax requires specifying the egress interface name. This requirement makes it hard to use for a couple reasons: - The egress interface name can be hard or impossible to predict. For example, installing a new network card in a system can change the interface names assigned by the kernel. - When constructing the module parameter, one may have trouble determining the original (kernel-assigned) name of the interface (which is the name that should be given to netconsole) if some stable interface naming scheme is in effect. A human can usually look at kernel logs to determine the original name, but this is very painful if automation is constructing the parameter. For these reasons, allow selection of the egress interface via MAC address when configuring netconsole using the module parameter. Update the netconsole documentation with an example of the new syntax. Selection of egress interface by MAC address via configfs is far less interesting (since when this interface can be used, one should be able to easily convert between MAC address and interface name), so it is left unimplemented.

2025-02-26net: move aRFS rmap management and CPU affinity to coreAhmed Zaki
A common task for most drivers is to remember the user-set CPU affinity to its IRQs. On each netdev reset, the driver should re-assign the user's settings to the IRQs. Unify this task across all drivers by moving the CPU affinity to napi->config. However, to move the CPU affinity to core, we also need to move aRFS rmap management since aRFS uses its own IRQ notifiers. For the aRFS, add a new netdev flag "rx_cpu_rmap_auto". Drivers supporting aRFS should set the flag via netif_enable_cpu_rmap() and core will allocate and manage the aRFS rmaps. Freeing the rmap is also done by core when the netdev is freed. For better IRQ affinity management, move the IRQ rmap notifier inside the napi_struct and add new notify.notify and notify.release functions: netif_irq_cpu_rmap_notify() and netif_napi_affinity_release(). Now we have the aRFS rmap management in core, add CPU affinity mask to napi_config. To delegate the CPU affinity management to the core, drivers must: 1 - set the new netdev flag "irq_affinity_auto": netif_enable_irq_affinity(netdev) 2 - create the napi with persistent config: netif_napi_add_config() 3 - bind an IRQ to the napi instance: netif_napi_set_irq() the core will then make sure to use re-assign affinity to the napi's IRQ. The default IRQ mask is set to one cpu starting from the closest NUMA.

Send a challenge ACK if we receive a TSEcr outside of this range, and increase a new SNMP counter. nstat -az | grep TSEcrRejected TcpExtTSEcrRejected 0 0.0 Due to TCP fastopen implementation, do not apply yet these checks for fastopen flows. v2: No longer use req->num_timeout, but treq->snt_tsval_first to detect when first SYNACK is prepared.

2025-02-22batman-adv: Use consistent name for mesh interfaceSven Eckelmann
The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the code calls is (mostly) softif. The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI. But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent name again. The bulk of the renaming was done using sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \ -e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g' and then it was adjusted slightly when proofreading the changes.

2025-02-21xfrm: provide common xdo_dev_offload_ok callback implementationLeon Romanovsky
Almost all drivers except bond and nsim had same check if device can perform XFRM offload on that specific packet. The check was that packet doesn't have IPv4 options and IPv6 extensions. In NIC drivers, the IPv4 HELEN comparison was slightly different, but the intent was to check for the same conditions. So let's chose more strict variant as a common base.

2025-02-11tcp: add tcp_rto_max_ms sysctlEric Dumazet
Previous patch added a TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket option to tune a TCP socket max RTO value. Many setups prefer to change a per netns sysctl. This patch adds /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rto_max_ms Its initial value is 120000 (120 seconds). Keep in mind that a decrease of tcp_rto_max_ms means shorter overall timeouts, unless tcp_retries2 sysctl is increased.

2025-02-11tcp: add the ability to control max RTOEric Dumazet
Currently, TCP stack uses a constant (120 seconds) to limit the RTO value exponential growth. Some applications want to set a lower value. Add TCP_RTO_MAX_MS socket option to set a value (in ms) between 1 and 120 seconds. It is discouraged to change the socket rto max on a live socket, as it might lead to unexpected disconnects. Following patch is adding a netns sysctl to control the default value at socket creation time.
