2026-06-04net: ethtool: cmis_cdb: hold instance lock for ops locked devicesJakub Kicinski
FW module flashing was written so that the flashing happens without holding rtnl_lock. This allows flashing multiple modules at once. Current drivers can handle that well, but we should let drivers depend on the netdev instance lock. Instance lock is per netdev, and so is the module so we won't break parallel updates.

2026-05-26ethtool: cmis: require exact CDB reply lengthJakub Kicinski
Malicious SFP module could respond with rpl_len longer than what cmis_cdb_process_reply() expected, leading to OOB writes. Malicious HW is a bit theoretical but some modules may just be buggy and/or the reads may occasionally get corrupted, so let's protect the kernel. The existing check protects from short replies. We need to protect from long ones, too. All callers that pass a non-zero rpl_exp_len cast the reply payload to a fixed-layout struct and read fields at fixed offsets, with no version negotiation or short-reply handling: - cmis_cdb_validate_password() - cmis_cdb_module_features_get() - cmis_fw_update_fw_mng_features_get() so let's assume that responses longer than expected do not have to be handled gracefully here. Add a warning message to make the debug easier in case my understanding is wrong... Note that page_data->length (argument of kmalloc) comes from last arg to ethtool_cmis_page_init() which is rpl_exp_len. Note2 that AIs also like to point out overflows in args->req.payload itself (which is a fixed-size 120 B buffer, on the stack), but callers should be reading structs defined by the standard, so protecting from requests for more data than max seem like defensive programming.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. 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. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-02-21treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar typesKees Cook
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
2025-04-11ethtool: cmis_cdb: use correct rpl size in ethtool_cmis_module_poll()Damodharam Ammepalli
rpl is passed as a pointer to ethtool_cmis_module_poll(), so the correct size of rpl is sizeof(*rpl) which should be just 1 byte.

2025-04-10ethtool: cmis_cdb: Fix incorrect read / write length extensionIdo Schimmel
The 'read_write_len_ext' field in 'struct ethtool_cmis_cdb_cmd_args' stores the maximum number of bytes that can be read from or written to the Local Payload (LPL) page in a single multi-byte access. Cited commit started overwriting this field with the maximum number of bytes that can be read from or written to the Extended Payload (LPL) pages in a single multi-byte access. Transceiver modules that support auto paging can advertise a number larger than 255 which is problematic as 'read_write_len_ext' is a 'u8', resulting in the number getting truncated and firmware flashing failing [1]. Fix by ignoring the maximum EPL access size as the kernel does not currently support auto paging (even if the transceiver module does) and will not try to read / write more than 128 bytes at once. [1] Transceiver module firmware flashing started for device enp177s0np0 Transceiver module firmware flashing in progress for device enp177s0np0 Progress: 0% Transceiver module firmware flashing encountered an error for device enp177s0np0 Status message: Write FW block EPL command failed, LPL length is longer than CDB read write length extension allows.

2024-10-13net: ethtool: Add support for writing firmware blocks using EPL payloadDanielle Ratson
In the CMIS specification for pluggable modules, LPL (Local Payload) and EPL (Extended Payload) are two types of data payloads used for managing various functions and features of the module. EPL payloads are used for more complex and extensive management functions that require a larger amount of data, so writing firmware blocks using EPL is much more efficient. Currently, only LPL payload is supported for writing firmware blocks to the module. Add support for writing firmware block using EPL payload, both to support modules that supports only EPL write mechanism, and to optimize the flashing process of modules that support LPL and EPL.

During the firmware flashing process, notifications are sent to user space to provide progress updates. When an error occurs, an error message is sent to indicate what went wrong. In some cases, appropriate error messages are missing. Add relevant error messages where applicable, allowing user space to better understand the issues encountered.

2024-06-28ethtool: cmis_cdb: Add a layer for supporting CDB commandsDanielle Ratson
CDB (Command Data Block Message Communication) reads and writes are performed on memory map pages 9Fh-AFh according to the CMIS standard, section 8.20 of revision 5.2. Page 9Fh is used to specify the CDB command to be executed and also provides an area for a local payload (LPL). According to the CMIS standard, the firmware update process is done using a CDB commands sequence that will be implemented in the next patch. The kernel interface that will implement the firmware update using CDB command will include 2 layers that will be added under ethtool: * The upper layer that will be triggered from the module layer, is cmis_fw_update. * The lower one is cmis_cdb. In the future there might be more operations to implement using CDB commands. Therefore, the idea is to keep the CDB interface clean and the cmis_fw_update specific to the CDB commands handling it. These two layers will communicate using the API the consists of three functions: - struct ethtool_cmis_cdb * ethtool_cmis_cdb_init(struct net_device *dev, struct ethtool_module_fw_flash_params *params); - void ethtool_cmis_cdb_fini(struct ethtool_cmis_cdb *cdb); - int ethtool_cmis_cdb_execute_cmd(struct net_device *dev, struct ethtool_cmis_cdb_cmd_args *args); Add the CDB layer to support initializing, finishing and executing CDB commands: * The initialization process will include creating of an ethtool_cmis_cdb instance, querying the module CDB support, entering and validating the password from user space (CMD 0x0000) and querying the module features (CMD 0x0040). * The finishing API will simply free the ethtool_cmis_cdb instance. * The executing process will write the CDB command to EEPROM using set_module_eeprom_by_page() that was presented earlier, and will process the reply from EEPROM.
