update_userdata() takes target_list_lock to swap nt->userdata and
nt->userdata_length, then frees the old buffer. Since commit
7eab73b186 ("netconsole: convert to NBCON console infrastructure")
that lock is also the console's device_lock, so writing a userdata value
from configfs serialises against the printk core emitting messages.
The buffer is immutable once published, which is what RCU is for. Move
the string and its length into a single netcons_userdata object and
publish it with rcu_replace_pointer(), freeing the old one with
kfree_rcu().
New userdata design:
0) Unify the userdata fields into a struct netcons_userdata
1) update_userdata() no longer needs target_list_lock.
2) writers stay serialised by dynamic_netconsole_mutex.
3) reading userdata needs an RCU read lock.
No functional change intended.

BIG TCP for UDP tunnels
This series is a follow-up to "BIG TCP without HBH in IPv6", and it adds
support for BIG TCP IPv4/IPv6 workloads in vxlan and geneve. Now that
IPv6 BIG TCP doesn't require stripping the HBH in all various
combinations in tunneled traffic, adding BIG TCP becomes feasible.
Patch 01 adds accessors for the length field in the UDP header, as
suggested by Paolo in review. The usage of udp_set_len is then added in
the following patches that start using length=0 in BIG TCP UDP packets.
Patches 02-04 close the gaps that prevent BIG TCP packets from going
through UDP tunnel code.
Patch 05 validates packets in udp_gro_receive to exclude packets with
length=0 from GRO aggregation.
Patch 06 is for proper formatting in tcpdump (set UDP len to 0 rather
than a trimmed value on overflow).
Patches 07-08 bump up tso_max_size for VXLAN and GENEVE.
Patch 09 adds selftests.

Since BIG TCP for UDP tunnels will start using len=0 in the UDP header
as an indicator of a GSO packet bigger than 65535 bytes, this commit
introduces the following getter and setters to use tree-wide, in order
to explicitly mark places where len=0 may be expected, and handle them
properly:
1. udp_set_len() sets uh->len to its real value if it's not bigger than
65535, and to 0 otherwise: to be used in GSO context with aggregated
packets.
2. udp_set_len_short() is to be used when the length is known to fit 16
bits. It WARNs when the caller tries to assign a bigger value if
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y.
3. udp_get_len_short() returns len in host byte order: to be used on the
RX side to deal with non-aggregated packets, or to access the raw value
of the len field.
4. udp_get_len() decodes uh->len set by udp_set_len(). It checks whether
the packet is GSO to guard from malformed packets.
At the moment udp_set_len() is not used, a following commit will start
using it after enabling len>65535 for GSO.
Raw uh->len (in network byte order) is still accessed in a few places
for checksum calculation purposes, and to decode len=0 in udpv6_rcv for
jumbograms. udp_rcv and udpv6_rcv will be addressed by the commit that
starts using udp_set_len() to set UDP len=0 for BIG TCP packets in UDP
tunnels.

The fallback skb pool fronted by find_skb() is netconsole's only client:
every other netpoll goes through __netpoll_setup() / netpoll_send_skb()
without ever touching np->skb_pool.
Today __netpoll_setup() and __netpoll_cleanup() create and destroy the
pool for everyone, paying ~48 KB of pre-allocated skbs per netpoll
instance that only netconsole uses, what a waste!
Move the responsibility to netconsole. __netpoll_setup() did this under
the RTNL, but netconsole enables targets from enabled_store() /
alloc_param_target() without it, while the teardown path flushes the pool
(cancel_work_sync() + skb_queue_purge()) under the RTNL from
netconsole_process_cleanups_core(). Initialising the queue head and the
refill work on every enable would therefore race that flush.
They only need initialising once: after a flush the queue head is left
valid and empty and cancel_work_sync() leaves the work re-armable. Set
them up in alloc_and_init(), while the target is not yet reachable, and
let the enable paths only refill the pool via refill_skbs(), which
serialises with the flush through skb_pool.lock. See discussions in [1]

allocator still emits a warn_alloc() splat with a full stack trace on

nt->buf is exactly MAX_PRINT_CHUNK bytes, but scnprintf() reserves one
byte for its NUL terminator, so a non-fragmented payload of exactly
MAX_PRINT_CHUNK loses its last byte (emitted as a stray NUL in the
release path). Grow nt->buf to MAX_PRINT_CHUNK + 1 and bound the
scnprintf() calls with sizeof(nt->buf); the transmitted length stays
capped at MAX_PRINT_CHUNK.
Alternatively, nt->buf could be left at MAX_PRINT_CHUNK and the NUL byte
reserved by routing exactly-MAX_PRINT_CHUNK payloads to fragmentation
('len < MAX_PRINT_CHUNK'), at the cost of fragmenting those messages.
But it would look less sane, thus the current approach.

When process_resume_target() catches a device that was unregistered
while the target was off target_list, it calls do_netpoll_cleanup() to
release the reference but leaves the cached np.dev_name in place. The
other cleanup path, netconsole_process_cleanups_core(), already wipes
dev_name for MAC-bound targets because the name was only a cache of the
device that last carried the MAC and may no longer match.
The pattern is the same in both spots, so fold it into a small helper
netcons_release_dev() and route both call sites through it. This makes
the resume-window cleanup consistent with the notifier-driven one so a
later enable does not let netpoll_setup() pick a stale interface by name

process_resume_target() removes the target from target_list before
calling resume_target() so that netpoll_setup() can run with interrupts
enabled, then re-adds it once setup completes. netpoll_setup() acquires a
net_device reference (netdev_hold()) and releases the RTNL before
returning.
While the target is off target_list and the RTNL is not held,
netconsole_netdev_event() cannot find it. If the egress device is
unregistered in that window, the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier walks
target_list, misses the resuming target, and never tears it down. The
target is then re-added in STATE_ENABLED still holding a reference to the
now-unregistered device, leaking it and hanging unregister_netdevice() in
netdev_wait_allrefs().
Re-check under RTNL before re-publishing the target: if the device left
NETREG_REGISTERED while we were off the list, run do_netpoll_cleanup() and
mark the target disabled. Taking the RTNL across the check and the
list_add() serialises against the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier, which also
runs under RTNL, so the device is either still registered (and the
notifier will find the re-added target later) or already unregistering
(and we drop the reference here). netdev_wait_allrefs() runs from
netdev_run_todo() outside the RTNL, so dropping the reference here cannot

drop_netconsole_target() downgrades a STATE_DEACTIVATED target to
STATE_DISABLED and then only calls netpoll_cleanup() when the target is
STATE_ENABLED. A target becomes STATE_DEACTIVATED when its underlying
interface is unregistered: netconsole_netdev_event() moves it to
target_cleanup_list, and netconsole_process_cleanups_core() is expected
to run do_netpoll_cleanup() on it.
Now that drop_netconsole_target() takes target_cleanup_list_lock around
the unlink, a configfs removal racing with NETDEV_UNREGISTER can pull the
target off target_cleanup_list before the cleanup worker processes it.
The notifier drops the lock before calling
netconsole_process_cleanups_core(), so the worker then iterates a list
that no longer contains the target and never runs do_netpoll_cleanup() on
it. Because drop_netconsole_target() has already rewritten the state to
STATE_DISABLED, its own STATE_ENABLED check is false and netpoll_cleanup()
is skipped too. The net_device reference taken by netpoll_setup() is then
leaked and unregister_netdevice() hangs forever in netdev_wait_allrefs().
Capture whether the target still owns a netpoll before the state is
downgraded and clean it up for both STATE_ENABLED and STATE_DEACTIVATED
targets. netpoll_cleanup() is idempotent -- it skips when np->dev is
already NULL -- so it is safe even when the cleanup worker won the race
and already tore the netpoll down.

find_skb() falls back to np->skb_pool when the GFP_ATOMIC alloc_skb()
fails. The pool is refilled by refill_skbs(), which always allocates
buffers of MAX_SKB_SIZE (ethhdr + iphdr + udphdr + MAX_UDP_CHUNK ==
1502 bytes).
netconsole, however, computes the requested length dynamically as
total_len + np->dev->needed_tailroom
If the egress device declares a non-zero needed_tailroom (e.g. some
tunnel or hardware accelerator devices), the required length can exceed
MAX_SKB_SIZE. The pooled skb is then handed back to the caller, which
immediately performs skb_put(skb, len), trips the tail > end check, and
triggers skb_over_panic().
Leave the normal alloc_skb(len, GFP_ATOMIC) path untouched -- the slab
allocator can still satisfy oversized requests when memory is available,
so senders to devices with non-zero needed_tailroom keep working in the
common case. Only the pool fallback is gated: when alloc_skb() failed
and len exceeds the pool buffer size, skip the skb_dequeue() instead of
burning a pre-allocated skb on a request that would later trip
skb_over_panic(). Reserving pool entries for requests they can actually
satisfy also keeps the panic path, which depends on the pool being
primed, intact.
When that drop happens, emit a rate-limited net_warn() so the user
notices that netconsole is unable to push messages on the egress device.
The warn is skipped under in_nmi() for the same reason schedule_work()
is: printk machinery taken by net_warn_ratelimited() is not NMI-safe and
would risk recursing into the same nbcon console we are servicing.
MAX_SKB_SIZE / MAX_UDP_CHUNK were private to net/core/netpoll.c. Move
them to include/linux/netpoll.h so netconsole can reference the same
definition that refill_skbs() uses, keeping the two in sync by
construction. The header now pulls in <linux/ip.h> and <linux/udp.h>
explicitly so MAX_SKB_SIZE remains self-contained for any future user.

When alloc_skb() fails in find_skb(), the fallback path dequeues an skb
from np->skb_pool and unconditionally calls schedule_work() to top the
pool back up. schedule_work() ends up taking the workqueue pool locks,
which are not NMI-safe.
netconsole_write() is registered as the nbcon write_atomic callback and
is explicitly marked CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE, meaning it is invoked from
emergency/panic contexts including NMIs. If the NMI interrupts a thread
already holding the workqueue pool lock, calling schedule_work()
self-deadlocks and the panic message that was being printed is lost.
Introduce netcons_skb_pop() to fold the pool dequeue and the refill
request into a single helper. The helper skips schedule_work() when
called from NMI context; the pool is best-effort, so the refill is simply
deferred to the next non-NMI find_skb() call that exhausts alloc_skb()
and hits the fallback again. This keeps the fast path untouched and the
locking rules around the fallback pool documented in one place.
Note this only removes the schedule_work() hazard from the NMI path. The
allocation itself is still not fully NMI-safe: the alloc_skb(GFP_ATOMIC)
attempted first may take slab locks, and the skb_dequeue() fallback takes
np->skb_pool.lock, so either can deadlock if the NMI interrupts a holder
of those locks. Closing those windows requires an NMI-safe (lockless) skb
pool and is left to a follow-up; this patch addresses the schedule_work()
deadlock, which is both the most likely and the easiest to trigger.

find_skb() is the netconsole-specific entry into the netpoll skb
pool: every other netpoll consumer (bonding, team, vlan, bridge,

With netpoll_send_udp() (its only caller) now living in netconsole,

MODULE_IMPORT_NS("NETDEV_INTERNAL") to consume it.
The skb pool's lifecycle (np->skb_pool, np->refill_wq, refill_skbs(),
refill_skbs_work_handler(), skb_pool_flush()) stays in netpoll: it
is initialised in __netpoll_setup() and torn down in
__netpoll_cleanup(), both of which remain netpoll's responsibility.
The refill work queued via schedule_work(&np->refill_wq) from the
moved find_skb() runs refill_skbs_work_handler() in netpoll without
any further plumbing.

It was also the last udp_hdr() consumer in net/core/netpoll.c. The

by the lighter <linux/udp.h>. Swap the include accordingly.

netconsole was the only in-tree caller of this entry point. Every
other netpoll consumer (bonding, team, vlan, bridge, macvlan, dsa)
already builds its own sk_buff and hands it to netpoll_send_skb(),
so the netpoll send-side interface is now skb-only.
The helpers it depends on (find_skb(), push_ipv6(), push_ipv4(),
push_udp(), push_eth(), netpoll_udp_checksum()) were exposed in
the previous patches and stay in net/core/netpoll.c for now.
Subsequent patches move each of them into netconsole one at a time
and drop the corresponding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

userdatum_value_store() updates udm->value first and only then calls
update_userdata() to rebuild the on-the-wire payload. If
update_userdata() fails (e.g. -ENOMEM from kmalloc), the function
returns the error to userspace, but udm->value already holds the new
string while the live nt->userdata buffer still reflects the old one.
The next successful write to any sibling userdatum on the same target
will call update_userdata() again, which walks every entry and packs
the now-stale udm->value into the payload. The failed write is thus
silently activated later, with no indication to userspace that the
value it tried to set was rejected.
Snapshot the previous value before overwriting udm->value and restore
it if update_userdata() fails so the visible state and the active
payload stay consistent.

dev_name_store() calls strscpy(nt->np.dev_name, buf, IFNAMSIZ) without
checking the return value. If userspace writes an interface name longer
than IFNAMSIZ - 1, strscpy() silently truncates and returns -E2BIG, but
the function ignores it and reports a fully successful write back to
userspace.
If a real interface happens to match the truncated name, netconsole will
bind to the wrong device on the next enable, sending kernel logs and
panic output to an unintended network segment with no indication to
userspace that anything was rewritten.
Reject writes whose length cannot fit in nt->np.dev_name up front:
if (count >= IFNAMSIZ)
return -ENAMETOOLONG;
This is not a big deal of a problem, but, it is still the correct
approach.

userdatum_value_store() bounds count by MAX_EXTRADATA_VALUE_LEN (200)
and then copies straight into udm->value, which is itself 200 bytes:
if (count > MAX_EXTRADATA_VALUE_LEN)
return -EMSGSIZE;
...
ret = strscpy(udm->value, buf, sizeof(udm->value));
if (ret < 0)
goto out_unlock;
If userspace writes exactly MAX_EXTRADATA_VALUE_LEN bytes with no NUL
within them, strscpy() copies 199 bytes plus a NUL into udm->value and
returns -E2BIG. The function jumps to out_unlock and reports the error
to userspace, but udm->value has already been overwritten with the
truncated string and update_userdata() is skipped, so the corruption
is not yet visible on the wire.
The next successful write to any userdatum entry under the same target
calls update_userdata(), which packs udm->value into the active
netconsole payload. From that point on, every netconsole message
carries the silently truncated value, and userspace has no indication
that a previous, error-returning write left state behind.
Tighten the entry check from "count > MAX_EXTRADATA_VALUE_LEN" to
"count >= MAX_EXTRADATA_VALUE_LEN". With count strictly less than
sizeof(udm->value), strscpy() can no longer return -E2BIG here, so
the corrupting truncation path is removed entirely.

Several configfs store callbacks in netconsole end with:
ret = strnlen(buf, count);
This under-reports the number of bytes consumed when the input
contains an embedded NUL within count, telling the VFS that fewer
bytes were written than userspace actually handed in. A conformant
partial-write loop would then retry the trailing bytes against a
callback that has already accepted them.
Every other configfs driver in the tree returns count directly from
its store callbacks once parsing has succeeded, including
drivers/nvme/target/configfs.c, drivers/gpio/gpio-sim.c,
drivers/most/configfs.c, drivers/block/null_blk/main.c,
drivers/pci/endpoint/pci-ep-cfs.c, and the rest of the configfs
users. netconsole was the outlier (along with
drivers/infiniband/core/cma_configfs.c, which has the same latent
issue).
Align netconsole with the rest of the configfs ecosystem: return
count once the parser/validator has accepted the input. The numeric
and boolean parsers (kstrtobool, kstrtou16, mac_pton,
netpoll_parse_ip_addr) have already validated the meaningful prefix;
any trailing bytes are padding and should simply be reported as
consumed.

trim_newline() unconditionally dereferences s[len - 1] after computing
len = strnlen(s, maxlen). When the string is empty, len is 0 and the
expression underflows to s[(size_t)-1], reading (and potentially
writing) one byte before the buffer.
The two callers feed trim_newline() with the result of strscpy() from
configfs store callbacks (dev_name_store, userdatum_value_store).
configfs guarantees count >= 1 reaches the callback, but the byte
itself can be NUL: a userspace write(fd, "\0", 1) leaves the
destination empty after strscpy() and triggers the underflow. The OOB
write only fires if the adjacent byte happens to be '\n', so this is
not a security issue, but the access is undefined behaviour either way.
This pattern is commonly flagged by LLM-based code reviewers. While it
is not a security fix, the underlying access is undefined behaviour and
the change is small and self-contained, so it is a reasonable candidate
for the stable trees.
Guard the dereference on a non-zero length.

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.

Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)

Use the CPU and task name captured at printk() time from
nbcon_write_context instead of querying the current execution context.
This provides accurate information about where the message originated,
rather than where netconsole happens to be running.
For CPU, use wctxt->cpu instead of raw_smp_processor_id().
For taskname, use wctxt->comm directly which contains the task
name captured at printk time.
This change ensures netconsole outputs reflect the actual context that
generated the log message, which is especially important when the
console driver runs asynchronously in a dedicated thread.

Convert netconsole from the legacy console API to the NBCON framework.
NBCON provides threaded printing which unblocks printk()s and flushes in
a thread, decoupling network TX from printk() when netconsole is
in use.
Since netconsole relies on the network stack which cannot safely operate
from all atomic contexts, mark both consoles with
CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE. (See discussion in [1])
CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE restricts write_atomic() usage to emergency
scenarios (panic) where regular messages are sent in threaded mode.
Implementation changes:
- Unify write_ext_msg() and write_msg() into netconsole_write()
- Add device_lock/device_unlock callbacks to manage target_list_lock
- Use nbcon_enter_unsafe()/nbcon_exit_unsafe() around network
operations.
- If nbcon_enter_unsafe() fails, just return given netconsole lost
the ownership of the console.
- Set write_thread and write_atomic callbacks (both use same function)

Extract the message fragmentation logic from write_msg() into a
dedicated send_msg_udp() function. This improves code readability
and prepares for future enhancements.
The new send_msg_udp() function handles splitting messages that
exceed MAX_PRINT_CHUNK into smaller fragments and sending them
sequentially. This function is placed before send_ext_msg_udp()
to maintain a logical ordering of related functions.
No functional changes - this is purely a refactoring commit.

Attempt to resume a previously deactivated target when the associated
interface comes back (NETDEV_REGISTER) or when it changes name
(NETDEV_CHANGENAME) by calling netpoll_setup on the device.
Depending on how the target was setup (by mac or interface name), the
corresponding field is compared with the device being brought up. Targets
that match the incoming device, are scheduled for resume on a workqueue.
Resuming happens on a workqueue as we can't execute netpoll_setup in the
context of the netdev event. A standalone workqueue (as opposed to the
global one) is used to allow for proper cleanup process during
netconsole module cleanup as we need to be able to flush all pending
work before traversing the target list given that targets are temporarily
removed from the list during resume_target.
Target transitions to STATE_DISABLED in case of failures resuming it to
avoid retrying the same target indefinitely.
