net: fec: only stop PTP if it was initialized

2026-08-27T19:41:14+00:00

fec_ptp_init() is only called when fep->bufdesc_ex is available. However, fec_probe() unconditionally calls fec_ptp_stop() on the failed_init path, and fec_drv_remove() unconditionally calls fec_ptp_stop() during device removal. Check fep->bufdesc_ex before calling fec_ptp_stop() in both paths to avoid stopping PTP when it was not initialized.

slip: remove slip_hangup() to fix use-after-free in slip_receive_buf()

2026-08-27T19:38:27+00:00

Jaeyoung Chung and Eulgyu Kim reported a slab-use-after-free read in slip_receive_buf() when racing against tty hangup. tty_ldisc_hangup() calls ld->ops->hangup() while holding only a read lock on tty->ldisc_sem (via tty_ldisc_ref()). Because slip_hangup() simply called slip_close(), it ran concurrently with reader functions such as slip_receive_buf(). slip_close() unregisters and frees the net device and its private struct slip, causing concurrent reader threads in slip_receive_buf() to dereference freed memory. Line discipline close() is already guaranteed to be called under the write lock of tty->ldisc_sem during hangup processing (in tty_ldisc_reinit() or tty_ldisc_kill()). Remove slip_hangup() so teardown is serialized cleanly by slip_close().

net: dsa: mxl862xx: enable assisted learning on CPU port

2026-08-27T18:41:25+00:00

The MxL862xx driver enables FDB isolation but does not enable assisted learning on the CPU port. Consequently, MAC addresses learned through a physical switch port are not updated in hardware when the corresponding station moves to a foreign bridge port, such as a Wi-Fi interface. The stale hardware FDB entry continues directing return traffic toward the original physical port. Traffic entering that same port is then filtered instead of being forwarded to the CPU and software bridge. This causes downstream unicast traffic, including DHCP OFFER and ACK packets, to disappear after a client roams to a local wireless interface. The client eventually considers the connection unusable and disconnects. Enable assisted CPU-port learning so DSA installs foreign bridge FDB entries on the CPU port. This keeps the hardware FDB synchronized with the software bridge and allows return traffic to reach locally attached Wi-Fi clients after roaming. Tested on a BPI R4 PRO with a MxL862xx switch and a BE14000 WiFi interface. - Without patch, wired uplink on lan6 port (mxl path) Wifi clients connect but roam away not getting DHCP offers - Without patch, wired uplink on wan port (no mxl path) Wifi clients connect and roam successfully - With this patch, uplink on lan6 (mxl path) Wifi clients connect and roam successfully Fixes: 340bdf984613 ("net: dsa: mxl862xx: implement bridge offloading") Signed-off-by: Edoardo Pinci Link: https://patch.msgid.link/DU0P251MB069949C6DEB4D1D51F31FE87C4A02@DU0P251MB0699.EURP251.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: stmmac: restore NET_IP_ALIGN in the RX DMA offset

2026-08-27T18:40:24+00:00

Since the RX path was converted to zero-copy, the page pool page is handed to the stack directly as the skb head, and the offset the DMA engine writes at is what determines the alignment of the packet headers. Before the conversion the payload was copied into an skb obtained from napi_alloc_skb(), which reserves NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN. The conversion moved the headroom into stmmac_rx_offset() but did not carry over NET_IP_ALIGN, so on architectures where NET_IP_ALIGN is 2 the IP header now lands misaligned: 64 (NET_SKB_PAD) + 14 (ethernet) + 20 (IP) = 98 Same for the XDP branch: 256 (XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM) + 14 (ethernet) + 20 (IP) = 290 On ARM32 this is fatal, because ldm and ldrd trap on unaligned addresses even when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set. Any received echo request panics the machine, e.g: Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0x81873062 Internal error: : 1 [#1] SMP ARM Hardware name: Altera SOCFPGA Arria10 PC is at icmp_echo+0x38/0xa8 LR is at icmp_rcv+0x22c/0x370 Call trace: icmp_echo from icmp_rcv+0x22c/0x370 icmp_rcv from ip_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x2c/0x224 ip_protocol_deliver_rcu from ip_local_deliver+0xc8/0x1a0 ip_local_deliver from ip_sublist_rcv_finish+0x3c/0x50 ip_sublist_rcv_finish from ip_list_rcv_finish+0x110/0x118 ip_list_rcv_finish from ip_list_rcv+0xc8/0xdc ip_list_rcv from __netif_receive_skb_list_core+0x170/0x1c0 ... napi_complete_done from stmmac_napi_poll_rx+0xcb0/0x1030 Code: e24dd068 e59020a0 e28dc010 e0822001 (e8920003) Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt The faulting instruction is the ldm of *icmp_hdr(skb) in icmp_echo(). Fix by adding NET_IP_ALIGN back to the RX offset, which restores the alignment the stack used to get. Note that commit a955318fe67e ("stmmac: align RX buffers") made a similar change in 2021 and was reverted by commit 12d125b4574b ("stmmac: Revert "stmmac: align RX buffers"") because it caused packet corruption. That patch raised the offset from 0 without adjusting the buffer size accounting, so the DMA engine could arguably write past the end of the RX buffers, though this was never root caused. Commit df542f669307 ("net: stmmac: Switch to zero-copy in non-XDP RX path") since derives the page pool allocation from stmmac_rx_offset(), so the extra bytes are accounted for.

net: stmmac: drop gso_enabled_types and rely on netdev features

2026-08-27T18:05:34+00:00

The gso_enabled_types field is used by stmmac_xmit() to decide whether a GSO skb should be passed to stmmac_tso_xmit(). It is updated in stmmac_set_features() based solely on NETIF_F_TSO, so disabling IPv4 TSO while keeping IPv6 TSO (NETIF_F_TSO6) enabled zeroes the mask. As a result IPv6 GSO frames, which the networking stack still generates since NETIF_F_TSO6 is enabled, fall through to the non-TSO xmit path where they are not handled. The networking stack already manages the GSO logic: a GSO skb is only delivered to the driver when the matching offload feature (NETIF_F_TSO, NETIF_F_TSO6 or NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4) is enabled, otherwise the frame is segmented in software before reaching ndo_start_xmit(). stmmac_features_check() also validates each GSO frame against the TSO hardware constraints and falls back to software GSO when they are not met. Drop the gso_enabled_types field and rely on skb_is_gso() in stmmac_xmit() instead, which correctly routes IPv6 GSO frames to the TSO path when NETIF_F_TSO is disabled. This also removes the data race between stmmac_set_gso_types(), called from the feature-set path, and the lockless read of gso_enabled_types in stmmac_xmit().

net: stmmac: selftests: Don't test flow control for small rx fifos

2026-08-27T17:53:28+00:00

On dwmac1000, dwmac4 and dwxgmac, we only emit pause frames if there's at least 4096 bytes in each queue's fifo. The phylink mac capabilities are still MAC_ASYM_PAUSE | MAC_SYM_PAUSE as otherwise we won't be able to negotiate 'rx on' pause. ASYM only will prevent negotiating 'rx off tx on', while SYM only doesn't really matche the reality (not symmetric if we can only do RX pause).

net: stmmac: selftests: Account for the UC filter list for filtering tests

2026-08-27T17:53:28+00:00

On dwmac, one of the Unicast filter entries is used to store the local HW addr. This means that we have to use promisc mode for any kind of unicast filtering if we only have one slot in our unicast filter. The number of slots available depends on how the IP is integrated, and we can't autodiscover how many of these slots we have available, so the DT property snps,perfect-filter-entries can be used to specify how many are available. Most IP variants default to 1 if this isn't specified, which is the case for the amlogic variants (in this case, S905X3). The stmmac selftests for UC filtering look if we have enough slots in the filter to store the dev->uc list, but doesn't account for the device's own MAC address. The dev->uc list's size we get with netdev_uc_count() also doesn't account for the HW addr. As the selftest only requires one available slot, in the case of single-slot platforms, that means we erroneously consider we have enough room for the test, when we actually don't, and the filtering test fails.
