[PATCH -next] selftests/ftrace: Prevent potential failure in subsystem-enable test case

The first 100 lines of trace output don't always contain 3 or more distinct events. In busy systems, they may be dominated by repetitive events like sched_stat_runtime, causing the `$count -lt 3` check to fail.

[PATCH net v2] selftests: netfilter: ipvs.sh: Explicity disable rp_filter on interface tunl0

by Yi Chen

Although setup_ns() set net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0, loading certain module such as ipip will automatically create a tunl0 interface in all netns including new created ones. In the script, this is before than default.rp_filter=0 applied, as a result tunl0.rp_filter remains set to 1 which causes the test report FAIL when ipip module is preloaded.

[PATCH net-next] selftests: drv-net: Wait for bkg socat to start

by Mohsin Bashir

Currently, UDP exchange is prone to failure when cmd attempt to send data while socat in bkg is not ready. Since, the behavior is probabilistic, this can result in flakiness for XDP tests. While testing test_xdp_native_tx_mb() on netdevsim, a failure rate of around 1% in 500 500 iterations was observed. Use wait_port_listen() to ensure that the bkg socat is started and ready to receive before cmd start sending. With proposed changes, a re-run of the same test passed 100% of time.

[PATCH net-next v7] ipv6: add `force_forwarding` sysctl to enable per-interface forwarding

by Gabriel Goller

It is currently impossible to enable ipv6 forwarding on a per-interface basis like in ipv4. To enable forwarding on an ipv6 interface we need to enable it on all interfaces and disable it on the other interfaces using a netfilter rule. This is especially cumbersome if you have lots of interfaces and only want to enable forwarding on a few. According to the sysctl docs [0] the `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding` enables forwarding for all interfaces, while the interface-specific `net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.forwarding` configures the interface Host/Router configuration. Introduce a new sysctl flag `force_forwarding`, which can be set on every interface. The ip6_forwarding function will then check if the global forwarding flag OR the force_forwarding flag is active and forward the packet. To preserve backwards-compatibility reset the flag (on all interfaces) to 0 if the net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding flag is set to 0. Add a short selftest that checks if a packet gets forwarded with and without `force_forwarding`.

[PATCH net-next] selftests: net: Skip test if IPv6 is not configured

by Breno Leitao

Extend the `check_for_dependencies()` function in `lib_netcons.sh` to check whether IPv6 is enabled by verifying the existence of `/proc/net/if_inet6`. Having IPv6 is a now a dependency of netconsole tests. If the file does not exist, the script will skip the test with an appropriate message suggesting to verify if `CONFIG_IPV6` is enabled. This prevents the test to misbehave if IPv6 is not configured.

[PATCH v3 00/10] mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs

by Lorenzo Stoakes

Historically we've made it a uAPI requirement that mremap() may only operate on a single VMA at a time. For instances where VMAs need to be resized, this makes sense, as it becomes very difficult to determine what a user actually wants should they indicate a desire to expand or shrink the size of multiple VMAs (truncate? Adjust sizes individually? Some other strategy?). However, in instances where a user is moving VMAs, it is restrictive to disallow this. This is especially the case when anonymous mapping remap may or may not be mergeable depending on whether VMAs have or have not been faulted due to anon_vma assignment and folio index alignment with vma->vm_pgoff. Often this can result in surprising impact where a moved region is faulted, then moved back and a user fails to observe a merge from otherwise compatible, adjacent VMAs. This change allows such cases to work without the user having to be cognizant of whether a prior mremap() move or other VMA operations has resulted in VMA fragmentation. In order to do this, this series performs a large amount of refactoring, most pertinently - grouping sanity checks together, separately those that check input parameters and those relating to VMAs. we also simplify the post-mmap lock drop processing for uffd and mlock()'d VMAs. With this done, we can then fairly straightforwardly implement this functionality. This works exclusively for mremap() invocations which specify MREMAP_FIXED. It is not compatible with VMAs which use userfaultfd, as the notification of the userland fault handler would require us to drop the mmap lock. It is also not compatible with file-backed mappings with customised get_unmapped_area() handlers as these may not honour MREMAP_FIXED. The input and output addresses ranges must not overlap. We carefully account for moves which would result in VMA iterator invalidation. While there can be gaps between VMAs in the input range, there can be no gap before the first VMA in the range. v3: * Disallowed move operation except for MREMAP_FIXED. * Disallow gap at start of aggregate range to avoid confusion. * Disallow any file-baked VMAs with custom get_unmapped_area. * Renamed multi_vma to seen_vma to be clearer. Stop reusing new_addr, use separate target_addr var to track next target address. * Check if first VMA fails multi VMA check, if so we'll allow one VMA but not multiple. * Updated the commit message for patch 9 to be clearer about gap behaviour. * Removed accidentally included debug goto statement in test (doh!). Test was and is passing regardless. * Unmap target range in test, previously we ended up moving additional VMAs unintentionally. This still all passed :) but was not what was intended. * Removed self-merge check - there is absolutely no way this can happen across multiple VMAs, as there is no means of moving VMAs such that a VMA merges with itself. v2: * Squashed uffd stub fix into series. * Propagated tags, thanks! * Fixed param naming in patch 4 as per Vlastimil. * Renamed vma_reset to vmi_needs_reset + dropped reset on unmap as per Liam. * Correctly return -EFAULT if no VMAs in input range. * Account for get_unmapped_area() disregarding MAP_FIXED and returning an altered address. * Added additional explanatatory comment to the remap_move() function. https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1751865330.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1751865330.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com/ Lorenzo Stoakes (10): mm/mremap: perform some simple cleanups mm/mremap: refactor initial parameter sanity checks mm/mremap: put VMA check and prep logic into helper function mm/mremap: cleanup post-processing stage of mremap mm/mremap: use an explicit uffd failure path for mremap mm/mremap: check remap conditions earlier mm/mremap: move remap_is_valid() into check_prep_vma() mm/mremap: clean up mlock populate behaviour mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs tools/testing/selftests: extend mremap_test to test multi-VMA mremap fs/userfaultfd.c | 15 +- include/linux/userfaultfd_k.h | 5 + mm/mremap.c | 553 +++++++++++++++-------- tools/testing/selftests/mm/mremap_test.c | 146 +++++- 4 files changed, 518 insertions(+), 201 deletions(-) -- 2.50.0
