tcp: prevent collapsing skbs across boundary in rtx queue (2026-09-24 11:03:42 -0700)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Including fixes from Bluetooth, NFC and Netfilter.
Every week in this release is record-setting for number of posted
patches. It doesn't seem like we're creating any regressions with
all these fixes, 3 Fixes tags here point to 7.2 commits but none
are true regression fixes. We're trying to keep the count down,
nonetheless.
Previous releases - regressions:
- net: don't require the hwtstamp NDOs when a PHY provides timestamping
- ipv6: fix dst leak for uncached routes
- vrf: stop corrupting skb->csum when capturing CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
packets
Previous releases - always broken:
- packet: use ubuf_info completion for TX_RING packets
- arp: terminate device name before lookup
- ipv6: do not let ipv6_find_hdr() return an offset past the packet end
- udp: remove a disconnected socket from the 4-tuple hash table
- sctp: discard the rest of the packet on a stale-cookie error
- eth: mlx5: Bridge, fix remaining switchdev ownership gaps on merged
eswitch

I'm looking at those ovpn fixes, for example, and they fix old stuff
and they aren't marked for stable. The ones I looked at seemed to go
back to ovpn being basically merged initially.
So they clearly aren't regression fixes. Why are they in an -rc at all then?
Are they actually important enough that they shouldn't just go into linux-next?
Your merge message notes don't even mention them, which to me says
"not important".
"Not a regression, not critical" should mean "next release, not rc material".
Maybe it *is* important, but then it should be mentioned.
I've pulled this, but I really am trying to start pushing back on
pointless "fixes" after the merge window.
For post-merge-window patches, it is NOT ENOUGH to just be "a fix".
It needs to be a regression, or it needs to be critical. It needs to
be something that would merit the change being marked for stable.
Regressions are serious business. They break existing setups. They
make it painful for people to upgrade. They are critical, in other
words.
But stuff that has been broken since the first release of the code?
Sure, it *can* be a very important security fix. Or - more likely -
it's just a codepath that doesn't matter, never did, and was found by
some random LLM and that's the only reason it now shows up.

Yes, ovpn stuff was definitely pushing it :/ More of a decision
on whether I want to ship this to you today for rc5 or risk making
rc6 larger.

Not gonna argue, we'll continue to adjust the filters.
At the same time I'm very impressed by the overall code quality these
days. Regressions are very rare for us. Even mindless slop that people
send is an order of magnitude better than code we used to merge 2 years
ago. But more importantly with multiple frontier models reviewing each
merged patch the math on the risk of regressions changes quite a bit.
AFAIU the rc releases where about stabilizing the code merged during
the merge window. If the see no bug fixes for that code because LLMs
and CIs have beating all the bugs out of it before the merge window..
what are the rc releases about? 🤔️

Yes,
I do think the AI stuff is actually being helpful. I mean, it's a big
pain *too*, in how it adds to the flood of patches and puts more
pressure on maintainers. But I feel both the generated patches and the
review really does tend to be raising the bar overall.
