net: dsa: mxl862xx: fix use-after-free of DSA ports in crc_err_work

2026-06-25T00:51:11+00:00

Upon an MDIO CRC error mxl862xx_crc_err_work_fn() walks the DSA ports and closes the CPU port conduits: dsa_switch_for_each_cpu_port(dp, priv->ds) dev_close(dp->conduit); mxl862xx_remove() unregisters the switch before cancelling this work: set_bit(MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, &priv->flags); cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->stats_work); dsa_unregister_switch(ds); mxl862xx_host_shutdown(priv); dsa_unregister_switch() frees the dsa_port objects. If a CRC error schedules the work during teardown it can run after the ports have been freed and dereference freed memory. Guard the port walk with MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, which is already set before dsa_unregister_switch(). DSA tears the ports down under rtnl_lock(), so checking the flag under rtnl_lock() means the work either runs before teardown and sees valid ports, or runs afterwards, observes the flag and skips the walk. This mirrors the host_flood_work handler, which skips torn-down ports under rtnl_lock().

net: dsa: mxl862xx: avoid unaligned 16-bit access in api_wrap

2026-06-25T00:51:11+00:00

The MXL862XX_API_* macros pass the address of a stack-allocated, __packed firmware-ABI struct to mxl862xx_api_wrap() as a void *. The struct has an alignment of 1, so the compiler is free to place it at an odd address. mxl862xx_api_wrap() reinterprets that buffer as a __le16 * and accesses it with data[i], for which the compiler assumes the natural 2-byte alignment of __le16 and emits aligned 16-bit loads/stores (e.g. lhu/sh on MIPS). When the buffer lands on an odd address these fault on architectures that do not support unaligned access, such as MIPS32. -Waddress-of-packed-member does not catch this: the packed origin is laundered through the void * parameter, so the cast inside api_wrap looks alignment-safe to the compiler and no warning is emitted. Use get_unaligned_le16()/put_unaligned_le16() for the three 16-bit word accesses. The byte accesses (*(u8 *)&data[i], crc16()) are already safe and are left unchanged.

net: dsa: sja1105: round up PTP perout pin duration

2026-06-23T21:42:38+00:00

pin_duration is converted from the user-provided period to SJA1105 clock ticks and is later passed as the cycle_time argument to future_base_time(). Very small period values may become zero after the conversion, which can lead to a division by zero in future_base_time(). Round zero pin_duration up to 1 tick so that the smallest unsupported periods use the minimum non-zero hardware duration instead of passing zero to future_base_time().

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues. In this chapter: - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal - Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU. It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock. - Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior. - Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement. - Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit timeout. - Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic. - Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos. - Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256. - Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option, because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40). - Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6). - Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments). - Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address. - Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()). - Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2). - Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit). - Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies. The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors. The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration. - Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE. - Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter. Cross-tree stuff: - Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects. - Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global crypto API as obsolete and insecure. Wireless: - Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower capability than AP. - Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed). - More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast, schedule improvements, multi-station etc.) - Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support). - Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs. Netfilter: - Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces. - Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy. Deletions: - Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it). - Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the vendor that added this are AWOL. - Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits. - Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository. - Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely, soon. - Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211.

net: dsa: mxl862xx: add support for SerDes ports

2026-06-16T00:18:01+00:00

The MxL862xx has two XPCS/SerDes interfaces (XPCS0 for ports 9-12, XPCS1 for ports 13-16). Each can operate in various single-lane modes (SGMII, 1000Base-X, 2500Base-X, 10GBase-R, 10GBase-KR, USXGMII) or as QSGMII or 10G_QXGMII providing four sub-ports per interface. Implement phylink PCS operations using the firmware's XPCS API: - pcs_enable/pcs_disable: refcount the sub-ports sharing an XPCS and power it down once the last sub-port is released. - pcs_config: configure negotiation mode and CL37/SGMII advertising. - pcs_get_state: read link state and the link-partner ability word from firmware and decode using phylink's standard CL37, SGMII, and USXGMII decoders. - pcs_an_restart: restart CL37 or CL73 auto-negotiation. - pcs_link_up: force speed/duplex for SGMII. - pcs_inband_caps: report per-mode in-band status capabilities. Register a PCS instance for each SerDes interface and QSGMII/10G_QXGMII sub-ports during setup. Advertise the supported interface modes in phylink_get_caps based on port number. Firmware older than 1.0.84 lacks the XPCS API and instead configures the SerDes itself, using defaults stored in flash. mac_select_pcs() returns NULL in that case while the single-lane interface modes stay advertised, so a CPU port keeps working in the firmware-configured mode. Lacking support for expressing PHY-side role modes in Linux only the MAC-side of SGMII, QSGMII, USXGMII and 10G_QXGMII are implemented for now.
