net: bcmgenet: fix racing timeout handler

2026-05-23T11:08:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5393b2b5bee2ac51a0043dc7f4ac3475f053d08d ] The bcmgenet_timeout handler tries to take down all tx queues when a single queue times out. This is over zealous and causes many race conditions with queues that are still chugging along. Instead lets only restart the timed out queue.

[ Upstream commit 3f3168300efb839028328d720ab3962f91d6a0d0 ] While reclaiming the tx queue we fast forward the write pointer to drop any data in flight. These dropped frames are not added back to the pool of free bds. We also need to tell the netdev that we are dropping said data.

net: bcmgenet: fix broken EEE by converting to phylib-managed state

2026-03-11T02:41:13+00:00

The bcmgenet EEE implementation is broken in several ways. phy_support_eee() is never called, so the PHY never advertises EEE and phylib never sets phydev->enable_tx_lpi. bcmgenet_mac_config() checks priv->eee.eee_enabled to decide whether to enable the MAC LPI logic, but that field is never initialised to true, so the MAC never enters Low Power Idle even when EEE is negotiated - wasting the power savings EEE is designed to provide. The only way to get EEE working at all is a manual 'ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee on' after every link-up, and even then bcmgenet_get_eee() immediately clobbers the reported state because phy_ethtool_get_eee() overwrites eee_enabled and tx_lpi_enabled with the uninitialised PHY eee_cfg values. Finally, bcmgenet_mac_config() is only called on link-up, so EEE is never disabled in hardware on link-down. Fix all of this by removing the MAC-side EEE state tracking (priv->eee) and aligning with the pattern used by other non-phylink MAC drivers such as FEC. Call phy_support_eee() in bcmgenet_mii_probe() so the PHY advertises EEE link modes and phylib tracks negotiation state. Move the EEE hardware control to bcmgenet_mii_setup(), which is called on every link event, and drive it directly from phydev->enable_tx_lpi - the flag phylib sets when EEE is negotiated and the user has not disabled it. This enables EEE automatically once the link partner agrees and disables it cleanly on link-down. Make bcmgenet_get_eee() and bcmgenet_set_eee() pure passthroughs to phy_ethtool_get_eee() and phy_ethtool_set_eee(), with the MAC hardware register read/written for tx_lpi_timer. Drop struct ethtool_keee eee from struct bcmgenet_priv.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

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

net: bcmgenet: extract GRXRINGS from .get_rxnfc

2025-11-29T03:56:22+00:00

Commit 84eaf4359c36 ("net: ethtool: add get_rx_ring_count callback to optimize RX ring queries") added specific support for GRXRINGS callback, simplifying .get_rxnfc. Remove the handling of GRXRINGS in .get_rxnfc() by moving it to the new .get_rx_ring_count(). This simplifies the RX ring count retrieval and aligns bcmgenet with the new ethtool API for querying RX ring parameters.
