Commit under Fixes moved recomputing the window clamp to
tcp_measure_rcv_mss() (when scaling_ratio changes).
I suspect it missed the fact that we don't recompute the clamp
when rcvbuf is set. Until scaling_ratio changes we are
stuck with the old window clamp which may be based on
the small initial buffer. scaling_ratio may never change.
Inspired by Eric's recent commit d1361840f8 ("tcp: fix
SO_RCVLOWAT and RCVBUF autotuning") plumb the user action
thru to TCP and have it update the clamp.
A smaller fix would be to just have tcp_rcvbuf_grow()
adjust the clamp even if SOCK_RCVBUF_LOCK is set.
But IIUC this is what we were trying to get away from
in the first place.

sk_clone() initializes sk_tx_queue_mapping via sk_tx_queue_clear()
but does not initialize sk_rx_queue_mapping. Since this field is in
the sk_dontcopy region, it is neither copied from the parent socket
by sock_copy() nor zeroed by sk_prot_alloc() (called without
__GFP_ZERO from sk_clone).
Commit 03cfda4fa6 ("tcp: fix another uninit-value
(sk_rx_queue_mapping)") attempted to fix this by introducing
sk_mark_napi_id_set() with force_set=true in tcp_child_process().
However, sk_mark_napi_id_set() -> sk_rx_queue_set() only writes
when skb_rx_queue_recorded(skb) is true. If the 3-way handshake
ACK arrives through a device that does not record rx_queue (e.g.
loopback or veth), sk_rx_queue_mapping remains uninitialized.
When a subsequent data packet arrives with a recorded rx_queue,
sk_mark_napi_id() -> sk_rx_queue_update() reads the uninitialized
field for comparison (force_set=false path), triggering KMSAN.
This was reproduced by establishing a TCP connection over loopback
(which does not call skb_record_rx_queue), then attaching a BPF TC
program on lo ingress to set skb->queue_mapping on data packets:

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from

avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

By default, when a kmem_cache is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU,
slub has to use extra storage for the freelist pointer after each
object, because slub assumes that any bit in the object
can be used by RCU readers.
Because proto_register() is also using SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN,
this forces slub to use one extra cache line per object.
We can instead put the slub freelist anywhere in the object,
granted the concurrent RCU readers are not supposed to
use the pointer value.
Add a new (struct sock)sk_freeptr field, in an union
with sk_rcu: No RCU readers would need to look at sk_rcu,
which is only used at free phase.

Some protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP) implement memory accounting for socket
buffers and charge memory to per-protocol global counters pointed to by
sk->sk_proto->memory_allocated.
Sometimes, system processes do not want that limitation. For a similar
purpose, there is SO_RESERVE_MEM for sockets under memcg.
Also, by opting out of the per-protocol accounting, sockets under memcg
can avoid paying costs for two orthogonal memory accounting mechanisms.
A microbenchmark result is in the subsequent bpf patch.
Let's allow opt-out from the per-protocol memory accounting if
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem is true.
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem and sk->sk_prot are placed in the same cache
line, and sk_has_account() always fetches sk->sk_prot before accessing
sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem, so there is no extra cache miss for this patch.
The following patches will set sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem to true, and
then, the per-protocol memory accounting will be skipped.
Note that this does NOT disable memcg, but rather the per-protocol one.
Another option not to use the hole in struct sock_common is create
sk_prot variants like tcp_prot_bypass, but this would complicate
SOCKMAP logic, tcp_bpf_prots etc.

15 years after Tom Herbert added skb->ooo_okay, only TCP transport
benefits from it.
We can support other transports directly from skb_set_owner_w().
If no other TX packet for this socket is in a host queue (qdisc, NIC queue)
there is no risk of self-inflicted reordering, we can set skb->ooo_okay.
This allows netdev_pick_tx() to choose a TX queue based on XPS settings,
instead of reusing the queue chosen at the time the first packet was sent
for connected sockets.
Tested:
500 concurrent UDP_RR connected UDP flows, host with 32 TX queues,
512 cpus, XPS setup.
super_netperf 500 -t UDP_RR -H <host> -l 1000 -- -r 100,100 -Nn &
This patch saves between 10% and 20% of cycles, depending on how
process scheduler migrates threads among cpus.
Using following bpftrace script, we can see the effect on Qdisc/NIC tx queues
being better used (less cache line misses).
bpftrace -e '
k:__dev_queue_xmit { @start[cpu] = nsecs; }
kr:__dev_queue_xmit {
if (@start[cpu]) {
$delay = nsecs - @start[cpu];

Followup of commit c51da3f7a1 ("net: remove sock_i_uid()")
A recent syzbot report was the trigger for this change.
Over the years, we had many problems caused by the
read_lock[_bh](&sk->sk_callback_lock) in sock_i_uid().
We could fix smc_diag_dump_proto() or make a more radical move:
Instead of waiting for new syzbot reports, cache the socket
inode number in sk->sk_ino, so that we no longer
need to acquire sk->sk_callback_lock in sock_i_ino().
This makes socket dumps faster (one less cache line miss,
and two atomic ops avoided).
Prior art:

Some sockets suffer from heavy false sharing on sk->sk_drops,
and fields in the same cache line.
Add sk->sk_drop_counters to:
- move the drop counter(s) to dedicated cache lines.
- Add basic NUMA awareness to these drop counter(s).
Following patches will use this infrastructure for UDP and RAW sockets.
sk_clone_lock() is not yet ready, it would need to properly
set newsk->sk_drop_counters if we plan to use this for TCP sockets.

Add a new SKB drop reason (SKB_DROP_REASON_PFMEMALLOC) to track packets
dropped due to memory pressure. In production environments, we've observed
memory exhaustion reported by memory layer stack traces, but these drops
were not properly tracked in the SKB drop reason infrastructure.
While most network code paths now properly report pfmemalloc drops, some
protocol-specific socket implementations still use sk_filter() without
drop reason tracking:
- Bluetooth L2CAP sockets
- CAIF sockets
- IUCV sockets
- Netlink sockets
- SCTP sockets
- Unix domain sockets
These remaining cases represent less common paths and could be converted
in a follow-up patch if needed. The current implementation provides
significantly improved observability into memory pressure events in the
network stack, especially for key protocols like TCP and UDP, helping to
diagnose problems in production environments.

Core
----
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing
again the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter
---------
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools
still use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain
and flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF
---
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols
---------
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the single
flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API
----------
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling
-----------------
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers
----------------------
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing
to the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT
the user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.
- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.
