The current netlink API for WireGuard does not directly support removal of allowed ips from a peer. A user can remove an allowed ip from a peer in one of two ways: 1. By using the WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS flag and providing a new list of allowed ips which omits the allowed ip that is to be removed. 2. By reassigning an allowed ip to a "dummy" peer then removing that peer with WGPEER_F_REMOVE_ME. With the first approach, the driver completely rebuilds the allowed ip list for a peer. If my current configuration is such that a peer has allowed ips 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 and I want to remove 192.168.0.2 the actual transition looks like this. [192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3] <-- Initial state [] <-- Step 1: Allowed ips removed for peer [192.168.0.3] <-- Step 2: Allowed ips added back for peer This is true even if the allowed ip list is small and the update does not need to be batched into multiple WG_CMD_SET_DEVICE requests, as the removal and subsequent addition of ips is non-atomic within a single request. Consequently, wg_allowedips_lookup_dst and wg_allowedips_lookup_src may return NULL while reconfiguring a peer even for packets bound for ips a user did not intend to remove leading to unintended interruptions in connectivity. This presents in userspace as failed calls to sendto and sendmsg for UDP sockets. In my case, I ran netperf while repeatedly reconfiguring the allowed ips for a peer with wg. /usr/local/bin/netperf -H 10.102.73.72 -l 10m -t UDP_STREAM -- -R 1 -m 1024 send_data: data send error: No route to host (errno 113) netperf: send_omni: send_data failed: No route to host While this may not be of particular concern for environments where peers and allowed ips are mostly static, systems like Cilium manage peers and allowed ips in a dynamic environment where peers (i.e. Kubernetes nodes) and allowed ips (i.e. pods running on those nodes) can frequently change making WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS problematic. The second approach avoids any possible connectivity interruptions but is hacky and less direct, requiring the creation of a temporary peer just to dispose of an allowed ip. Introduce a new flag called WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME which in the same way that WGPEER_F_REMOVE_ME allows a user to remove a single peer from a WireGuard device's configuration allows a user to remove an ip from a peer's set of allowed ips. This enables incremental updates to a device's configuration without any connectivity blips or messy workarounds. A corresponding patch for wg extends the existing `wg set` interface to leverage this feature. $ wg set wg0 peer <PUBKEY> allowed-ips +192.168.88.0/24,-192.168.0.1/32 When '+' or '-' is prepended to any ip in the list, wg clears WGPEER_F_REPLACE_ALLOWEDIPS and sets the WGALLOWEDIP_F_REMOVE_ME flag on any ip prefixed with '-'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
