2026-06-08tls: Avoid evaluating freed skb in tls_sw_read_sock() loopChuck Lever
tls_sw_read_sock() ends its receive loop with while (skb), but the else branch in the body calls consume_skb(skb) before the predicate is re-evaluated. A pointer becomes indeterminate when the object it points to reaches end-of-lifetime (C2011 6.2.4p2), and using an indeterminate value is undefined behavior (Annex J.2). The pointer is not dereferenced today -- the predicate either exits the loop or skb is overwritten at the top of the next iteration -- but any future change that adds a dereference between consume_skb() and the predicate would silently introduce a use-after-free. Replace the do/while form with an explicit for(;;) loop so termination happens through a break statement rather than predicate evaluation of a freed pointer.

2026-06-08net: garp: reload skb header pointers after pskb_may_pull()David Carlier
garp_pdu_parse_attr() keeps a pointer into the skb linear area across pskb_may_pull(skb, ga->len), and garp_pdu_parse_msg() dereferences gm on every loop iteration even though the nested parse may pull again. pskb_may_pull() can reallocate the skb head, which would leave those pointers stale. This is not reachable today: GARP PDUs arrive via the 802.2 LLC SAP path, where llc_fixup_skb() already pulls and trims the whole payload into the linear area, so the inner pulls never reallocate. Reload ga after the pull and snapshot gm->attrtype into a local anyway, to harden the parser and match the skb_header_pointer() discipline used by mrp.c. No functional change.

2026-06-08ipv6: sit: reload inner IPv6 header after GSO offloadsKyle Zeng
ipip6_tunnel_xmit() caches the inner IPv6 header pointer at function entry and continues using it after iptunnel_handle_offloads(). For GSO skbs, iptunnel_handle_offloads() calls skb_header_unclone(). When the skb header is cloned, skb_header_unclone() can call pskb_expand_head(), which may move the skb head. The pskb_expand_head() contract requires pointers into the skb header to be reloaded after the call. If the later skb_realloc_headroom() branch is not taken, SIT uses the stale iph6 pointer to read the inner hop limit and DS field. That can read from a freed skb head after the old head's remaining clone is released. Reload iph6 after the offload helper succeeds and before subsequent reads from the inner IPv6 header. Keep the existing reload after skb_realloc_headroom(), since that branch can also replace the skb.

2026-06-08net: qrtr: fix refcount saturation and potential UAF in qrtr_port_removeMingyu Wang
In qrtr_port_remove(), the socket reference count is decremented via __sock_put() before the port is removed from the qrtr_ports XArray and before the RCU grace period elapses. This breaks the fundamental RCU update paradigm. It exposes a race window where a concurrent RCU reader (such as qrtr_reset_ports() or qrtr_port_lookup()) can obtain a pointer to the socket from the XArray, and attempt to call sock_hold() on a socket whose reference count has already dropped to zero. This exact race condition was hit during syzkaller fuzzing, leading to the following refcount saturation warning and a potential Use-After-Free: refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory.

(Note: The v1 of this patch incorrectly replaced __sock_put() with sock_put(). As Simon Horman pointed out, the callers of qrtr_port_remove() still hold a reference to the socket, so freeing the socket memory here would lead to a subsequent UAF in the caller. Thus, the __sock_put() is kept, but only repositioned to close the RCU race.)

2026-06-08net: add pskb_may_pull() to skb_gro_receive_list()HanQuan
skb_gro_receive_list() calls skb_pull(skb, skb_gro_offset(skb)) without first ensuring the data is in the linear area via pskb_may_pull(). When the skb arrives via napi_gro_frags(), skb_headlen can be 0 (all data in page fragments) while skb_gro_offset is non-zero (after IP+TCP header parsing). The skb_pull() then decrements skb->len by skb_gro_offset but skb->data_len stays unchanged, hitting BUG_ON(skb->len < skb->data_len) in __skb_pull(). The UDP fraglist GRO path already contains this guard at udp_offload.c:749. Adding it to skb_gro_receive_list() itself provides centralized protection for all callers (TCP, UDP, and any future protocols), and ensures the precondition of skb_pull() is satisfied before it is called. On pskb_may_pull() failure, set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush = 1 so the skb is not held as a new GRO head and is instead delivered through the normal receive path, matching the UDP handling.

2026-06-08ip6mr: Replace RTNL with a dedicated mutex for MFC.Kuniyuki Iwashima

When ip6mr_free_table() is called from ip6mr_rules_init() or ip6mr_net_init(), the netns is not yet published. Thus, no device should have been registered, and mroute_clean_tables() will not call mif6_delete(), so unregister_netdevice_many() is unnecessary. unregister_netdevice_many() does nothing if the list is empty, but it requires RTNL due to the unconditional ASSERT_RTNL() at the entry of unregister_netdevice_many_notify(). Let's remove unnecessary RTNL and ASSERT_RTNL() and instead add WARN_ON_ONCE() in ip6mr_free_table(). Note that we use a local list for the new WARN_ON_ONCE() because dev_kill_list passed from ip6mr_rules_exit_rtnl() may have some devices when other ops->init() fails after ipmr durnig setup_net().

2026-06-08ip6mr: Free mr_table after RCU grace period.Kuniyuki Iwashima
Since default_device_exit_batch() is called after ->exit_rtnl(), idev->mc_ifc_work could finally call mroute6_is_socket() under RCU while ->exit_rtnl() is running. [0] With CONFIG_IPV6_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES=n, ip6mr_fib_lookup() does not check if net->ipv6.mrt6 is NULL. If ip6mr_net_exit_batch() set net->ipv6.mrt6 to NULL and freed it, the mrt->mroute_sk access could result in null-ptr-deref or use-after-free. Let's prepare for that situation by applying RCU rule to ip6mr table similarly. !check_net(net) is added in ip6mr_cache_unresolved() and mroute_clean_tables() to synchronise the two by mfc_unres_lock so that ip6mr_cache_unresolved() will not queue skb after mroute_clean_tables() purged &mrt->mfc_unres_queue. rcu_read_lock() in reg_vif_xmit() is moved up to cover ip6mr_fib_lookup() as with ipmr.

2026-06-08net_sched: sch_fq: convert skb->tstamp if not monotonicWillem de Bruijn
FQ currently assumes skb->tstamp holds monotonic time, as used by TCP. Users with ns_capable CAP_NET_ADMIN can transmit skbs using SO_TXTIME with CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME or CLOCK_TAI clockids as of commit 80b14dee2bea ("net: Add a new socket option for a future transmit time.") More recently, skbs also gained tstamp_type to explicitly communicate the clockid of skb->tstamp, with commit 4d25ca2d6801 ("net: Rename mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type for scalabilty"), commit 1693c5db6ab8 ("net: Add additional bit to support clockid_t timestamp type") and a few others. Detect other clocks and convert to monotonic for use in FQ. That is, convert fq_skb_cb(skb)->time_to_send. Do not convert skb->tstamp itself. Network device clocks are more commonly synchronized to TAI. Conversion may be imprecise due to clock adjustment (e.g., adjfreq) between when SCM_TSTAMP is set and when it is converted in fq_enqueue. The common codepath is short, so skew will be well below common pacing operation. Even in edge cases, bursts (too soon) or beyond horizon (too late) are indistinguishable from network conditions. To which senders must be robust, as long as infrequent. Avoid overflow due to negative offsets becoming huge when converting from signed ktime_t to u64 time_to_send. Bound lower to mono 1 and upper to now + q->horizon. This protects against bad input, e.g., from BPF programs. Detect legacy BPF programs that program skb->tstamp without setting skb->tstamp_type. Here tstamp_type is zero (SKB_CLOCK_REALTIME), but the value will be unrealistic for realtime in the 21st century. Follow existing TIME_UPTIME_SEC_MAX as bound between mono and realtime.

2026-06-08net: ensure SCM_TXTIME delivery time is no older than system bootWillem de Bruijn
Limit input to sane values to avoid having to add tests later in the kernel hot path, e.g., in FQ. SCM_TXTIME timestamps are converted to signed ktime_t when assigned to skb->tstamp. Avoid having negative values overflow into large positive ones when again used as u64, e.g., in FQ time_to_send. For CLOCK_MONOTONIC, only allow positive values. For CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI, allow equivalent values, i.e., no older than the boot of the machine. skb->tstamp zero is a special case signaling feature off. This is not converted between clockids. Handle the special case where the realtime clock is set so small that real - mono is negative, however unlikely in practice. Ideally we would also set a sane upper bound, but that would require reading the clock, which is an expensive operation. Continue to defer that validation to users of the data. FQ already does this. Bound rather than return error on older timestamps. This is the existing policy e.g., in FQ.

This also includes a series to add refcount for ct helper and timeout to deal with a corner case scenario with unconfirmed conntracks flying to nfqueue. 1) Add a conn_max sysctl to IPVS to limit the maximum number of connections, from Julian Anastasov. 2) Use get_unaligned_be16() to access TCP MSS in nfnetlink_osf, from Fernando Fernandez Mancera. 3) Use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE to access helper flags from nfnetlink_helper. Several patches for the synproxy infrastructure, from Fernando Fernandez Mancera: 4) Drop packet if TCP timestamp adjustment fails. 5) Continue parsing of TCP timestamp to deal with possible duplicates. 6) Use {get,put}_unaligned_be32() to acess the TCP timestamp. 7) Hold ct->lock to initialize nf_ct_seqadj_init(). Updates for the ct timeout infrastructure, to deal with a corner case for unconfirmed conntracks flying to nfqueue: 8) Add a refcount to track ct timeout policy use by ct extension, release the timeout until the last ct extension drops the refcnt on it. Similar update for the ct helper infrastructure: 9) Dynamic allocation of ct helpers, as a preparation for adding refcount to track ct extension use. 10) Move destroy_sibling_or_exp() to nf_conntrack_proto_gre, so pptp conntrack helper module removal does not make this code unreachable via the helper->destroy callback. This is another dependency for the new refcount coming in this series. 11) Add a refcount to track use of it from the ct extension, then ct helper and timeout is reachable to the connection until it goes away. 12) Remove the genid infrastructure in ct extensions. The primary goal was to detect that a ct extension such as ct timeout and ct helper went stale for unconfirmed conntrack, either because object or module was removed. This deactivates all ct extensions though for this unconfirmed conntrack. 13) Call nf_ct_gre_keymap_destroy() if this is a master conntrack with a pptp helper only. sashiko.dev reports one more relevant issue when unsetting the helper via ctnetlink that I will address in a follow up patch. Then, two more assorted updates: 14) Avoid a unlikely underflow in bridge VLAN untag, only possible if buggy bridge VLAN filtering is buggy, remove WARN_ON_ONCE while at it.

2026-06-08sunrpc: fix uninitialized xprt_create_args structureHongling Zeng
The xprt_create_args structure is allocated on the stack without initialization in rpc_sysfs_xprt_switch_add_xprt_store(). While some fields are manually populated, critical fields like srcaddr, bc_xps, and flags contain uninitialized stack garbage. This can lead to: 1. Kernel panic when xs_setup_xprt() dereferences garbage srcaddr 2. Information leak if srcaddr points to sensitive stack data 3. Unpredictable behavior if flags has random bits set The fix is to zero-initialize the structure to ensure all unused fields are NULL/0, preventing the transport setup code from acting on garbage data.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Document and assert reply-handler invariantsChuck Lever
The xprtrdma reply path has been the subject of recurring LLM-driven review claims that 'an RPC can complete while receive buffers are still DMA-mapped' or that 'the req can be freed while the HCA still owns the send buffer.' No runtime reproducer has surfaced, but the absence of a written-down invariant set lets each pass of automated review reach the same hypothetical conclusion. Subsequent fixes against ce2f9a4d9ccc ('xprtrdma: Decouple req recycling from RPC completion') closed the underlying races but did not document the closure where future readers will look for it. State the invariants explicitly in a comment above rpcrdma_reply_handler() and back four of them with WARN_ON_ONCE() probes positioned where each invariant is locally checkable on the previous patch's cleaned-up ownership state: - I1 (Receive WR ownership): WARN at rpcrdma_post_recvs() that a rep pulled from rb_free_reps carries rr_rqst == NULL. - I2 (rep attachment): WARN at rpcrdma_reply_put() that req->rl_reply was NULLed before the matching rep_put. - I3 (Registered-MR fence): WARN at rpcrdma_complete_rqst() that req->rl_registered is empty. Strong send-queue ordering of the LocalInv WR chain makes the last completion observe the ib_dma_unmap_sg() of every earlier MR, so 'list empty' implies 'all MRs unmapped'. - I4 (Send-buffer release): WARN at rpcrdma_req_release() that req->rl_sendctx is NULL. Reaching the kref release callback requires both the RPC-layer and Send-side references to have dropped; the Send-side drop runs in rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap(), which clears rl_sendctx (previous patch). A non-NULL rl_sendctx here would mean the Send-side owner had not run -- a contradiction. The XXX comment in xprt_rdma_free() about signal-driven release racing the Send completion described the pre-decouple state. Replace it with a one-line note pointing at the invariant set, since the kref scheme now holds the req across the in-flight Send regardless of which path released the rpc_task. I5 (req lifecycle) is stated in the comment but not probed: making it locally assertible would require moving kref_init out of rpcrdma_req_release(), which in turn requires adding kref_init to the bc_pa_list and backlog-wake reuse paths. That restructuring is deferred -- the invariant is unchanged either way. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@hammerspace.com>
2026-06-08xprtrdma: Clear receive-side ownership pointers on releaseChuck Lever
Three small ownership-state cleanups land the transport in a state that lets future reviewers reason about each pointer locally rather than tracing the whole reply path: rpcrdma_rep_put() clears rep->rr_rqst before the rep enters rb_free_reps so that no rep on the free list still carries a stale rqst pointer. rpcrdma_reply_handler() and rpcrdma_unpin_rqst() are the only sites that set rr_rqst; rpcrdma_reply_handler() hands the rep through rpcrdma_rep_put(), and rpcrdma_unpin_rqst() NULLs rr_rqst directly because its error path abandons the rep for teardown cleanup rather than returning it to rb_free_reps. rpcrdma_reply_put() NULLs req->rl_reply before calling rpcrdma_rep_put(). The previous order placed the rep on rb_free_reps while req->rl_reply still pointed at it; the window was harmless because xprt_rdma_free_slot() holds the req exclusively across the pair, but closing it makes the invariant 'rep on rb_free_reps implies no req references it' strictly checkable. rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() and rpcrdma_sendctx_cancel() clear req->rl_sendctx after dropping the sendctx pointer in the sendctx ring. Without this, req->rl_sendctx survives across Send completion and points at a sendctx that may already have been reassigned by rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked() to a different req. No caller dereferences the stale pointer today -- rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() overwrites it before the next Send -- but a NULL is a more honest representation of 'the Send is no longer outstanding' and lets the assertion patch that follows trip on any future regression.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Add request-pool slack for delayed recyclingChuck Lever
After the previous patch gates req recycling on Send completion, a completed RPC's rpcrdma_req can remain pinned by the sendctx ring until the next signaled Send completion releases it. The transmitted-RPC ceiling is unchanged: xprt_request_get_cong() gates Sends against xprt->cwnd, the RPC/RDMA credit window fed by server-granted credits and capped at re_max_requests. The req pool, however, must exceed max_reqs by enough that this recycle delay does not stall a slot allocation that the credit window would admit. The headroom is bounded. frwr_open() sets re_send_batch to re_max_requests >> 3 -- one in every eight Sends is signaled -- so at most re_send_batch unsignaled Sends can be outstanding before the next signaled completion releases them. That equals max_reqs / 8 reqs in the worst case, with a one-slot floor for small max_reqs values where the right-shift rounds to zero. The sendctx ring and the hardware Send Queue are not enlarged to match. Both are sized in rpcrdma_sendctxs_create() and frwr_query_device() for re_max_requests in-flight Sends, which is the ceiling the credit window enforces. The pool slack does not raise that ceiling -- it only lets allocation keep pace with the credit window during the brief interval in which earlier reqs are pinned waiting for the next signaled completion. At any moment, at most re_send_batch sendctxes are held by unswept unsignaled Sends, leaving the rest of the ring available for newly admitted Sends. Allocate max_reqs + DIV_ROUND_UP(max_reqs, 8) request objects and name the slack calculation at the allocation site so the 1/8 bound stays tied to the Send-signaling batch size.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Decouple req recycling from RPC completionChuck Lever
rl_kref formerly served two distinct lifetimes through a single refcount: it gated when a Reply could wake its RPC task, and it gated when an rpcrdma_req could return to its free pool. The marshal path took the Send-side reference only when SGEs needed DMA-unmap (sc_unmap_count > 0), which made a Send carrying only pre-registered buffers an exception: the Reply handler dropped rl_kref from 1 to 0 and freed the req while the HCA might still be DMA-reading from its send buffer. Give rl_kref a narrower job. The RPC layer takes one reference when slot allocation hands a req out. rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() takes a Send-side reference unconditionally after WR preparation succeeds. xprt_rdma_free_slot() and xprt_rdma_bc_free_rqst() drop the RPC-layer reference; rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() drops the Send-side reference. The req returns to its free pool only after both owners have signed off. The existing kref_init(&req->rl_kref) call in rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() is removed. Initialization moves to the slot-allocation paths (xprt_rdma_alloc_slot and rpcrdma_bc_rqst_get), and the release callback re-arms rl_kref before the req returns to a free pool. A re-init in the marshal path would discard the RPC-layer reference that already exists on entry. Three invariants follow: - Any rpcrdma_req held by an rpc_rqst has rl_kref >= 1. xprt_rdma_alloc_slot(), rpcrdma_bc_rqst_get(), and the backlog-wake branch in xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() each kref_init rl_kref before publishing the req. Without this invariant, an RPC task that aborts between slot allocation and marshal (gss_refresh failure or signal during call_connect, for example) would drive xprt_release() -> xprt_rdma_free_slot() -> kref_put against a refcount of zero, saturating refcount_t and stranding the slot. - The Send-side reference is taken only after WR prep succeeds. A mapping failure in rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() runs rpcrdma_sendctx_cancel(), which DMA-unmaps the sendctx and clears sc_req without touching rl_kref. The sendctx ring walks in rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked() and rpcrdma_sendctxs_destroy() skip entries with sc_req == NULL, so a burst of -EIO marshal failures cannot hold reqs off rb_send_bufs. - The release callback re-arms rl_kref so the next consumer enters with the invariant satisfied. Replies now complete the RPC directly. rpcrdma_reply_handler() calls rpcrdma_complete_rqst() in place of kref_put on the non-LocalInv branch. The LocalInv branch already completes the RPC from frwr_unmap_async() and is unaffected. Because Send-side references can now outlive RPC completion, connection teardown drains sendctx entries whose unsignaled Sends never had a later signaled completion to walk the ring. rpcrdma_sendctxs_destroy() walks the active range and runs rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() on each entry with a non-NULL sc_req before the request buffers are reset, and is moved ahead of rpcrdma_reqs_reset() in rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() so the reqs are still in their pre-reset state when the Send-side refs are released. The drain creates a teardown-ordering hazard on the backchannel path. With the new lifetime, releasing a bc_prealloc req from rpcrdma_req_release() re-adds it to bc_pa_list. The disconnect in xprt_rdma_destroy() runs after xprt_destroy_backchannel() has already emptied bc_pa_list, so the drained reqs would otherwise leak. xprt_rdma_destroy() now runs xprt_rdma_bc_destroy(xprt, 0) a second time after the disconnect to reclaim them.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Use sendctx DMA state for Send signalingChuck Lever
Send signaling matters only when the prepared Send has page mappings to unmap. Today that test is expressed indirectly with rl_kref, because the Send-side reference is taken only for Sends with mapped SGEs. Split the SGE DMA unmap loop into its own helper and use sc_unmap_count directly for the signaling decision. This keeps the current behavior but removes one dependency on the old rl_kref semantics before the request lifetime rules are changed.

Currently the code enqueue work items using {queue|mod}_delayed_work(), using system_long_wq. This workqueue should be used when long works are expected and it is a per-cpu workqueue. The function(s) end up calling __queue_delayed_work(), which set a global timer that could fire anywhere, enqueuing the work where the timer fired. Unbound works could benefit from scheduler task placement, to optimize performance and power consumption. Long work shouldn't stick to a single CPU. Recently, a new unbound workqueue specific for long running work has been added:     c116737e972e ("workqueue: Add system_dfl_long_wq for long unbound works") Since the workqueue work doesn't rely on per-cpu variables, there is no obvious reason that justify the use of a per-cpu workqueue. So change system_long_wq with system_dfl_long_wq so that the work may benefit from scheduler task placement.

2026-06-06simpe_xattr: use per-sb cacheMiklos Szeredi
Move the hash table to the super block to remove excessive overhead in case of small number of xattrs per inode. Add linked list to the inode, used for listxattr and eviction. Listxattr uses rcu protection to iterate the list of xattrs. Before being made per-sb, lazy allocation was protected by inode lock. Now inode lock no longer provides sufficient exclusion, so use cmpxchg() to ensure atomicity. Though I haven't found a description of this pattern, after some research it seems that cmpxchg_release() and READ_ONCE() should provide the necessary memory barriers. Use simple_xattr_free_rcu() in simple_xattrs_free(). This is needed because the hash table is now shared between inodes and lookup on a different inode might be running the compare function on the just freed element within the RCU grace period. Following stats are based on slabinfo diff, after creating 100k empty files, then adding a "user.test=foo" xattr to each: v7.0 (no rhashtable): File creation: 993.40 bytes/file Xattr addition: 79.99 bytes/file v7.1-rc2 (per-inode rhashtable): File creation: 939.73 bytes/file Xattr addition: 1296.08 bytes/file v7.1-rc2 + this patch (per-sb rhashtable) File creation: 946.84 bytes/file Xattr addition: 111.86 bytes/file The overhead of a single xattr is reduced to nearly v7.0 levels. The per xattr overhead is slightly larger due to the addition of three pointers to struct simple_xattr.

2026-06-06simple_xattr: change interface to pass struct simple_xattrs **Miklos Szeredi
Change the simple_xattr API to accept pointer-to-pointer (struct simple_xattrs **) instead of pointer. This allows the functions to handle lazy allocation internally without requiring callers to use simple_xattrs_lazy_alloc(). The simple_xattr_set(), simple_xattr_set_limited() and simple_xattr_add() functions now handle allocation when xattrs is NULL. simple_xattrs_free() now also frees the xattrs structure itself and sets the pointer to NULL. This simplifies callers and removes the need for most callers to explicitly manage xattrs allocation and lifetime. In shmem_initxattrs(), the total required space for all initial xattrs (ispace) is pre-calculated and deducted from sbinfo->free_ispace. Since this patch modifies the function to add new xattrs directly to the inode's &info->xattrs list rather than using a local temporary variable, a failure means that the partially populated info->xattrs list remains attached to the inode. When the VFS caller handles the -ENOMEM error, it drops the newly created inode via iput(), shmem_free_inode() adds freed to sbinfo->free_ispace a second time, permanently inflating the tmpfs free space quota. Fix by substracting already added xattrs from ispace.

NLA_BINARY policy lengths are maximum lengths by default, so use NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN() for the unlabeled IPv4/IPv6 address and mask attributes.

2026-06-05hsr: broadcast netlink notifications in the device's net namespaceMaoyi Xie
The HSR generic netlink family sets .netnsok = true. HSR devices can live in network namespaces other than init_net. Two async notifiers broadcast events with genlmsg_multicast(). They are hsr_nl_ringerror() and hsr_nl_nodedown(). That helper delivers only on the default genl socket in init_net. So the events always land in init_net. The network namespace of the device does not matter. This has two effects. A listener in the device's own namespace never sees its own ring error and node down events. A privileged listener in init_net receives events from HSR devices in other namespaces. The payload carries the peer node MAC (HSR_A_NODE_ADDR) and the slave port ifindex (HSR_A_IFINDEX). Switch both callers to genlmsg_multicast_netns(). Other families with .netnsok = true already do this. Examples are gtp, ovpn, team, batman-adv, netdev-genl, ethtool and handshake. hsr_nl_ringerror() already has the slave port. It uses dev_net(port->dev). hsr_nl_nodedown() takes the namespace from the master port via hsr_port_get_hsr().

2026-06-05net: devmem: allow bind-rx from non-init user namespacesBobby Eshleman
NETDEV_CMD_BIND_RX is currently GENL_ADMIN_PERM, which checks CAP_NET_ADMIN against init userns. With recent container/netkit/ns support for devmem, other userns/netns use cases come online and require bind-rx to allow CAP_NET_ADMIN in non-init user ns as well. Switch the flag to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM to allow bind-rx for CAP_NET_ADMIN in the netns's owning userns as well.
