Refactors the netpoll UDP transmit path to improve code clarity,
maintainability, and protocol-layer encapsulation.
Function netpoll_send_udp() has more than 100 LoC, which is hard to
understand and review. After this patchset, it has only 32 LoC, which is
more manageable.
The series systematically moves the construction of protocol headers
(UDP, IPv4, IPv6, Ethernet) out of the core `netpoll_send_udp()`
function into dedicated static helpers:
- `push_udp()` for UDP header setup
- `push_ipv4()` and `push_ipv6()` for IP header setup
- `push_eth()` for Ethernet header setup
This results in a clean, layered abstraction that mirrors the protocol
stack, reduces code duplication, and improves readability.
Also, to make sure this is not breaking anything, add IPv6 selftest to
netconsole tests, which will exercise this code. This test would also pick
problems similiar to the one fixed by f599020702698 ("net: netpoll:
Initialize UDP checksum field before checksumming"), which was
embarrassin we didn't have a selftest catch it.
Anyway, there are **no functional changes** intended in this patchset.

Fix cur_aux()->nospec_result test after do_check_insn() referring to the
to-be-analyzed (potentially unsafe) instruction, not the
already-analyzed (safe) instruction. This might allow a unsafe insn to
slip through on a speculative path. Create some tests from the
reproducer [1].
Commit d6f1c85f2253 ("bpf: Fall back to nospec for Spectre v1") should
not be in any stable kernel yet, therefore bpf-next should suffice.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/685b3c1b.050a0220.2303ee.0010.GAE@google.com/
Changes since v1:
- Fix compiler error due to missed rename of prev_insn_idx in first
patch
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250628125927.763088-1-luis.gerhorst@fau.de/
Changes since RFC:
- Introduce prev_aux() as suggested by Alexei. For this, we must move
the env->prev_insn_idx assignment to happen directly after
do_check_insn(), for which I have created a separate commit. This
patch could be simplified by using a local prev_aux variable as
sugested by Eduard, but I figured one might find the new
assignment-strategy easier to understand (before, prev_insn_idx and
env->prev_insn_idx were out-of-sync for the latter part of the loop).
Also, like this we do not have an additional prev_* variable that must
be kept in-sync and the local variable's usage (old prev_insn_idx, new
tmp) is much more local. If you think it would be better to not take
the risk and keep the fix simple by just introducing the prev_aux
variable, let me know.
- Change WARN_ON_ONCE() to verifier_bug_if() as suggested by Alexei
- Change assertion to check instruction is BPF_JMP[32] as suggested by
Eduard
- RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/8734bmoemx.fsf@fau.de/

Hello,
binder_alloc_selftest provides a robust set of checks for the binder
allocator, but it rarely runs because it must hook into a running binder
process and block all other binder threads until it completes. The test
itself is a good candidate for conversion to KUnit, and it can be
further isolated from user processes by using a test-specific lru
freelist instead of the global one. This series converts the selftest
to KUnit to make it less burdensome to run and to set up a foundation
for unit testing future binder_alloc changes.
Thanks,
Tiffany

2.34.1
This patch set improves the documentation and selftests for XDP Rx metadata
handling. The first patch clarifies the documentation around XDP metadata
layout and the use of bpf_xdp_adjust_meta. The second patch enhances the
BPF selftests to make XDP metadata handling more robust and portable across
different NICs.
Prior to this patch set, the user application retrieved the xdp_meta by
calculating backward from the data pointer, while the XDP program fill in
the xdp_meta by calculating backward from data_meta. This approach will
cause mismatch if there is device-reserved metadata.
