2026-06-09net: ethtool: relax ethnl_req_get_phydev() locking assertionJakub Kicinski
phydev <> netdev linking and lifecycle depends on rtnl_lock. We want to switch to instance locks for most ethtool ops. Let's add an assert that ops locked devices don't use phydev today. If one does we can either opt the phy ops out of being purely ops locked, or do deeper surgery to make phy locking ops-compatible. I don't think there's any fundamental challenge to make that work.

2026-05-12net: ethtool: phy: avoid NULL deref when PHY driver is unboundDavid Carlier
phydev->drv can become NULL while the phy_device is still attached to its net_device, namely after the PHY driver is unbound via sysfs: echo <mdio_id> > /sys/bus/mdio_bus/drivers/<phy_drv>/unbind phy_remove() clears phydev->drv but doesn't call phy_detach(), so the phy_device stays in the link topology xarray and ethnl_req_get_phydev() still hands it back. ETHTOOL_MSG_PHY_GET then oopses on: rep_data->drvname = kstrdup(phydev->drv->name, GFP_KERNEL); drvname is already treated as optional by phy_reply_size(), phy_fill_reply() and phy_cleanup_data(), so just skip the allocation when there is no driver bound.

2026-05-08net: ethtool: fix NULL pointer dereference in phy_reply_sizeQuan Sun
In phy_prepare_data(), several strings such as 'name', 'drvname', 'upstream_sfp_name', and 'downstream_sfp_name' are allocated using kstrdup(). However, these allocations were not checked for failure. If kstrdup() fails for 'name', it returns NULL while the function continues. This leads to a kernel NULL pointer dereference and panic later in phy_reply_size() when it unconditionally calls strlen() on the NULL pointer. While other strings like 'upstream_sfp_name' might be checked before access in certain code paths, failing to handle these allocations consistently can lead to incomplete data reporting or hidden bugs. Fix this by adding proper NULL checks for all kstrdup() calls in phy_prepare_data() and implement a centralized error handling path using goto labels to ensure all previously allocated resources are freed on failure.

2026-03-20net: ethtool: re-order local includesMaxime Chevallier
Most local #include in the ethtool command handling is out of order, with either : #include "netlink.h" #include "common.h" or even : #include "netlink.h" #include "common.h" #include "bitset.h" One of the reasons is because bitset.h s lacking definitions for nlattr, netlink_ext_ack, ETH_GSTRING_LEN, and types such as u32, bool, etc. Make bitset.h standalone by including <linux/ethtool.h> for ETH_GSTRING_LEN, and <linux/netlink.h> for nlattr, netlink_ext_ack and the rest. While at it, take a pass on ethnl sources to re-order the local includes : - put them after the global includes - add a newline between global and local includes - alpha-sort the local includes One notable exception is the cmis.h include, that needs definitions from module_fw.h. Keep them in this order for now.

Now that we have an infrastructure in ethnl for perphy DUMPs, we can get rid of the custom ->doit and ->dumpit to deal with PHY listing commands. As most of the code was custom, this basically means re-writing how we deal with PHY listing.

2025-03-08net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate headerJakub Kicinski
Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching the header with the helpers). The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

2025-03-06net: ethtool: try to protect all callback with netdev instance lockJakub Kicinski
Protect all ethtool callbacks and PHY related state with the netdev instance lock, for drivers which want / need to have their ops instance-locked. Basically take the lock everywhere we take rtnl_lock. It was tempting to take the lock in ethnl_ops_begin(), but turns out we actually nest those calls (when generating notifications).

2025-03-04net: ethtool: netlink: Allow NULL nlattrs when getting a phy_deviceMaxime Chevallier
ethnl_req_get_phydev() is used to lookup a phy_device, in the case an ethtool netlink command targets a specific phydev within a netdev's topology. It takes as a parameter a const struct nlattr *header that's used for error handling : if (!phydev) { NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR(extack, header, "no phy matching phyindex"); return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); } In the notify path after a ->set operation however, there's no request attributes available. The typical callsite for the above function looks like: phydev = ethnl_req_get_phydev(req_base, tb[ETHTOOL_A_XXX_HEADER], info->extack); So, when tb is NULL (such as in the ethnl notify path), we have a nice crash. It turns out that there's only the PLCA command that is in that case, as the other phydev-specific commands don't have a notification. This commit fixes the crash by passing the cmd index and the nlattr array separately, allowing NULL-checking it directly inside the helper.

2024-09-13net: ethtool: phy: Don't set the context dev pointer for unfiltered DUMPMaxime Chevallier
The context info allows continuing DUMP requests, shall they fill the netlink buffer. In the case of filtered DUMP requests, a reference on the netdev is grabbed in the .start() callback and release in .done(). Unfiltered DUMP request don't need the dev pointer to be set in the context info, doing so will trigger an unwanted netdev_put() in .done().

2024-09-11net: ethtool: phy: Check the req_info.pdn field for GET commandsMaxime Chevallier
When processing the netlink GET requests to get PHY info, the req_info.pdn pointer is NULL when no PHY matches the requested parameters, such as when the phy_index is invalid, or there's simply no PHY attached to the interface. Therefore, check the req_info.pdn pointer for NULL instead of dereferencing it.

2024-08-23net: ethtool: Introduce a command to list PHYs on an interfaceMaxime Chevallier
As we have the ability to track the PHYs connected to a net_device through the link_topology, we can expose this list to userspace. This allows userspace to use these identifiers for phy-specific commands and take the decision of which PHY to target by knowing the link topology. Add PHY_GET and PHY_DUMP, which can be a filtered DUMP operation to list devices on only one interface.
