[ Upstream commit 9e5dead140af10e8b5f975b8f04e46197d48d274 ]

SMA and U.FL pins share physical signal paths in pairs (SMA1/U.FL1 and
SMA2/U.FL2).  When one pin's state changes via a PCA9575 GPIO write,
the paired pin's state also changes, but no notification is sent for
the peer pin.  Userspace consumers monitoring the peer via dpll netlink
subscribe never learn about the update.

Add ice_dpll_sw_pin_notify_peer() which sends a change notification for
the paired SW pin.  Call it from ice_dpll_pin_sma_direction_set(),
ice_dpll_sma_pin_state_set(), and ice_dpll_ufl_pin_state_set() after
pf-&gt;dplls.lock is released.  Use __dpll_pin_change_ntf() because
dpll_lock is still held by the dpll netlink layer (dpll_pin_pre_doit).

[ Upstream commit 1a41b58fd4dc80dca16c717e6e77c88b9d4e83a7 ]

The SMA/U.FL pin redesign (commit 2dd5d03c77e2 ("ice: redesign dpll
sma/u.fl pins control")) introduced software-controlled pins that wrap
backing CGU input/output pins, but never updated the notification and
data paths to propagate pin events to these SW wrappers.

The periodic work sends dpll_pin_change_ntf() only for direct CGU input
pins.  SW pins that wrap these inputs never receive change or phase
offset notifications, so userspace consumers such as synce4l monitoring
SMA pins via dpll netlink never learn about state transitions or phase
offset updates.  Similarly, ice_dpll_phase_offset_get() reads the SW
pin's own phase_offset field which is never updated; the PPS monitor
writes to the backing CGU input's field instead.

Fix by introducing ice_dpll_pin_ntf(), a wrapper around
dpll_pin_change_ntf() that also notifies any registered SMA/U.FL pin
whose backing CGU input matches.  Replace all direct
dpll_pin_change_ntf() calls in the periodic notification paths with
this wrapper.  Fix ice_dpll_phase_offset_get() to return the backing
CGU input's phase_offset for input-direction SW pins.

[ Upstream commit 6f9d8393c9f50fbc68b9c9e99f78ca5a7b43ff44 ]

SMA and U.FL pins share physical signal paths in pairs (SMA1/U.FL1 and
SMA2/U.FL2) controlled by the PCA9575 GPIO expander.  Each pair can
only have one active pin at a time: SMA1 output and U.FL1 output share
the same CGU output, SMA2 input and U.FL2 input share the same CGU
input.  The PCA9575 register bits determine which connector in each
pair owns the signal path.

The driver does not account for this pairing in two places:

ice_dpll_ufl_pin_state_set() modifies PCA9575 bits and disables the
backing CGU pin without checking whether the U.FL pin is currently
active.  Disconnecting an already inactive U.FL pin flips bits that
the paired SMA pin relies on, breaking its connection.

ice_dpll_sma_direction_set() does not propagate direction changes to
the paired U.FL pin.  For SMA2/U.FL2 the ICE_SMA2_UFL2_RX_DIS bit is
never managed, so U.FL2 stays disconnected after SMA2 switches to
output.  For both pairs the backing CGU pin of the U.FL side is never
enabled when a direction change activates it, so userspace sees the
pin as disconnected even though the routing is correct.

Fix by guarding the U.FL disconnect path against inactive pins and by
updating the paired U.FL pin fully on SMA direction changes: manage
ICE_SMA2_UFL2_RX_DIS for the SMA2/U.FL2 pair and enable the backing
CGU pin whenever the peer becomes active.

<title>ice: fix missing SMA pin initialization in DPLL subsystem</title>

[ Upstream commit 56a643aed0f0af5c29ebb4593d4917b78344dd48 ]

The DPLL SMA/U.FL pin redesign introduced ice_dpll_sw_pin_frequency_get()
which gates frequency reporting on the pin's active flag. This flag is
determined by ice_dpll_sw_pins_update() from the PCA9575 GPIO expander
state. Before the redesign, SMA pins were exposed as direct HW
input/output pins and ice_dpll_frequency_get() returned the CGU
frequency unconditionally — the PCA9575 state was never consulted.

The PCA9575 powers on with all outputs high, setting ICE_SMA1_DIR_EN,
ICE_SMA1_TX_EN, ICE_SMA2_DIR_EN and ICE_SMA2_TX_EN. Nothing in the
driver writes the register during initialization, so
ice_dpll_sw_pins_update() sees all pins as inactive and
ice_dpll_sw_pin_frequency_get() permanently returns 0 Hz for every
SW pin.

Fix this by writing a default SMA configuration in
ice_dpll_init_info_sw_pins(): clear all SMA bits, then set SMA1 and
SMA2 as active inputs (DIR_EN=0) with U.FL1 output and U.FL2 input
disabled. Each SMA/U.FL pair shares a physical signal path so only
one pin per pair can be active at a time. U.FL pins still report
frequency 0 after this fix: U.FL1 (output-only) is disabled by
ICE_SMA1_TX_EN which keeps the TX output buffer off, and U.FL2
(input-only) is disabled by ICE_SMA2_UFL2_RX_DIS. They can be
activated by changing the corresponding SMA pin direction via dpll
netlink.

<title>ice: fix infinite recursion in ice_cfg_tx_topo via ice_init_dev_hw</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ba1720946f79a11bfa7385c6ea7e728d526d3dfb</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 70ad216411e030f67b1743774e245601194aee6a ]

On certain E810 configurations where firmware supports Tx scheduler
topology switching (tx_sched_topo_comp_mode_en), ice_cfg_tx_topo()
may need to apply a new 5-layer or 9-layer topology from the DDP
package. If the AQ command to set the topology fails (e.g. due to
invalid DDP data or firmware limitations), the global configuration
lock must still be cleared via a CORER reset.

Commit 86aae43f21cf ("ice: don't leave device non-functional if Tx
scheduler config fails") correctly fixed this by refactoring
ice_cfg_tx_topo() to always trigger CORER after acquiring the global
lock and re-initialize hardware via ice_init_hw() afterwards.

However, commit 8a37f9e2ff40 ("ice: move ice_deinit_dev() to the end
of deinit paths") later moved ice_init_dev_hw() into ice_init_hw(),
breaking the reinit path introduced by 86aae43f21cf. This creates an
infinite recursive call chain:

  ice_init_hw()
    ice_init_dev_hw()
      ice_cfg_tx_topo()         # topology change needed
        ice_deinit_hw()
        ice_init_hw()           # reinit after CORER
          ice_init_dev_hw()     # recurse
            ice_cfg_tx_topo()
              ...               # stack overflow

Fix by moving ice_init_dev_hw() back out of ice_init_hw() and calling
it explicitly from ice_probe() and ice_devlink_reinit_up(). The third
caller, ice_cfg_tx_topo(), intentionally does not need ice_init_dev_hw()
during its reinit, it only needs the core HW reinitialization. This
breaks the recursion cleanly without adding flags or guards.

The deinit ordering changes from commit 8a37f9e2ff40 ("ice: move
ice_deinit_dev() to the end of deinit paths") which fixed slow rmmod
are preserved, only the init-side placement of ice_init_dev_hw() is
reverted.

<title>ice: fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_reset_all_vfs()</title>

[ Upstream commit 54ef02487914c24170c7e1c061e45212dc55365e ]

ice_reset_all_vfs() ignores the return value of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi().
When the VSI rebuild fails (e.g. during NVM firmware update via
nvmupdate64e), ice_vsi_rebuild() tears down the VSI on its error path,
leaving txq_map and rxq_map as NULL. The subsequent unconditional call
to ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() leads to a NULL pointer dereference in
ice_ena_vf_q_mappings() when it accesses vsi-&gt;txq_map[0].

The single-VF reset path in ice_reset_vf() already handles this
correctly by checking the return value of ice_vf_reconfig_vsi() and
skipping ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() on failure.

Apply the same pattern to ice_reset_all_vfs(): check the return value
of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi() and skip ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() and
ice_eswitch_attach_vf() on failure. The VF is left safely disabled
(ICE_VF_STATE_INIT not set, VFGEN_RSTAT not set to VFACTIVE) and can
be recovered via a VFLR triggered by a PCI reset of the VF
(sysfs reset or driver rebind).

Note that this patch does not prevent the VF VSI rebuild from failing
during NVM update — the underlying cause is firmware being in a
transitional state while the EMP reset is processed, which can cause
Admin Queue commands (ice_add_vsi, ice_cfg_vsi_lan) to fail. This
patch only prevents the subsequent NULL pointer dereference that
crashes the kernel when the rebuild does fail.

[ Upstream commit 1f75dbc53f68f0fb2acd99f92315e426a3d0b446 ]

The ice_ptp_read_tx_hwtstamp_status_eth56g function calls
ice_read_phy_eth56g with a PHY index. However the function actually expects
a port index. This causes the function to read the wrong PHY_PTP_INT_STATUS
registers, and effectively makes the status wrong for the second set of
ports from 4 to 7.

The ice_read_phy_eth56g function uses the provided port index to determine
which PHY device to read. We could refactor the entire chain to take a PHY
index, but this would impact many code sites. Instead, multiply the PHY
index by the number of ports, so that we read from the first port of each
PHY.

[ Upstream commit 359dc1d41358c88955eeff1b75aee55da7a415d3 ]

The E800 hardware (apart from E810) has a ready bitmap for the PHY
indicating which timestamp slots currently have an outstanding timestamp
waiting to be read by software.

This bitmap is checked in multiple places using the
ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready():

 * ice_ptp_process_tx_tstamp() calls it to determine which timestamps to
   attempt reading from the PHY
 * ice_ptp_tx_tstamps_pending() calls it in a loop at the end of the
   miscellaneous IRQ to check if new timestamps came in while the interrupt
   handler was executing.
 * ice_ptp_maybe_trigger_tx_interrupt() calls it in the auxiliary work task
   to trigger a software interrupt in the event that the hardware logic
   gets stuck.

For E82X devices, multiple PHYs share the same block, and the parameter
passed to the ready bitmap is a block number associated with the given
port. For E825-C devices, the PHYs have their own independent blocks and do
not share, so the parameter passed needs to be the port number. For E810
devices, the ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready() always returns all 1s regardless
of what port, since this hardware does not have a ready bitmap. Finally,
for E830 devices, each PF has its own ready bitmap accessible via register,
and the block parameter is unused.

The first call correctly uses the Tx timestamp tracker block parameter to
check the appropriate timestamp block. This works because the tracker is
setup correctly for each timestamp device type.

The second two callers behave incorrectly for all device types other than
the older E822 devices. They both iterate in a loop using
ICE_GET_QUAD_NUM() which is a macro only used by E822 devices. This logic
is incorrect for devices other than the E822 devices.

For E810 the calls would always return true, causing E810 devices to always
attempt to trigger a software interrupt even when they have no reason to.
For E830, this results in duplicate work as the ready bitmap is checked
once per number of quads. Finally, for E825-C, this results in the pending
checks failing to detect timestamps on ports other than the first two.

Fix this by introducing a new hardware API function to ice_ptp_hw.c,
ice_check_phy_tx_tstamp_ready(). This function will check if any timestamps
are available and returns a positive value if any timestamps are pending.
For E810, the function always returns false, so that the re-trigger checks
never happen. For E830, check the ready bitmap just once. For E82x
hardware, check each quad. Finally, for E825-C, check every port.

The interface function returns an integer to enable reporting of error code
if the driver is unable read the ready bitmap. This enables callers to
handle this case properly. The previous implementation assumed that
timestamps are available if they failed to read the bitmap. This is
problematic as it could lead to continuous software IRQ triggering if the
PHY timestamp registers somehow become inaccessible.

This change is especially important for E825-C devices, as the missing
checks could leave a window open where a new timestamp could arrive while
the existing timestamps aren't completed. As a result, the hardware
threshold logic would not trigger a new interrupt. Without the check, the
timestamp is left unhandled, and new timestamps will not cause an interrupt
again until the timestamp is handled. Since both the interrupt check and
the backup check in the auxiliary task do not function properly, the device
may have Tx timestamps permanently stuck failing on a given port.

The faulty checks originate from commit d938a8cca88a ("ice: Auxbus devices
&amp; driver for E822 TS") and commit 712e876371f8 ("ice: periodically kick Tx
timestamp interrupt"), however at the time of the original coding, both
functions only operated on E822 hardware. This is no longer the case, and
hasn't been since the introduction of the ETH56G PHY model in commit
7cab44f1c35f ("ice: Introduce ETH56G PHY model for E825C products")

<title>ice: perform PHY soft reset for E825C ports at initialization</title>

[ Upstream commit 3ec46e157c7fa420c77dfc23f7030e61f2f3fd55 ]

In some cases the PHY timestamp block of the E825C can become stuck. This
is known to occur if the software writes 0 to the Tx timestamp threshold,
and with older versions of the ice driver the threshold configuration is
buggy and can race in such that hardware briefly operates with a zero
threshold enabled. There are no other known ways to trigger this behavior,
but once it occurs, the hardware is not recovered by normal reset, a driver
reload, or even a warm power cycle of the system. A cold power cycle is
sufficient to recover hardware, but this is extremely invasive and can
result in significant downtime on customer deployments.

The PHY for each port has a timestamping block which has its own reset
functionality accessible by programming the PHY_REG_GLOBAL register.
Writing to the PHY_REG_GLOBAL_SOFT_RESET_BIT triggers the hardware to
perform a complete reset of the timestamping block of the PHY. This
includes clearing the timestamp status for the port, clearing all
outstanding timestamps in the memory bank, and resetting the PHY timer.

The new ice_ptp_phy_soft_reset_eth56g() function toggles the
PHY_REG_GLOBAL soft reset bit with the required delays, ensuring the
PHY is properly reinitialized without requiring a full device reset.
The sequence clears the reset bit, asserts it, then clears it again,
with short waits between transitions to allow hardware stabilization.

Call this function in the new ice_ptp_init_phc_e825c(), implementing the
E825C device specific variant of the ice_ptp_init_phc(). Note that if
ice_ptp_init_phc() fails, PTP functionality may be disabled, but the driver
will still load to allow basic functionality to continue.

This causes the clock owning PF driver to perform a PHY soft reset for
every port during initialization. This ensures the driver begins life in a
known functional state regardless of how it was previously programmed.

This ensures that we properly reconfigure the hardware after a device reset
or when loading the driver, even if it was previously misconfigured with an
out-of-date or modified driver.

[ Upstream commit c0a575a801a2040eb1e0db54b488f8c548c8458a ]

The E825C ice_phy_cfg_intr_eth56g() function is responsible for programming
the PHY interrupt for a given port. This function writes to the
PHY_REG_TS_INT_CONFIG register of the port. The register is responsible for
configuring whether the port interrupt logic is enabled, as well as
programming the threshold of waiting timestamps that will trigger an
interrupt from this port.

This threshold value must not be programmed to zero while the interrupt is
enabled. Doing so puts the port in a misconfigured state where the PHY
timestamp interrupt for the quad of connected ports will become stuck.

This occurs, because a threshold of zero results in the timestamp interrupt
status for the port becoming stuck high. The four ports in the connected
quad have their timestamp status indicators muxed together. A new interrupt
cannot be generated until the timestamp status indicators return low for
all four ports.

Normally, the timestamp status for a port will clear once there are fewer
timestamps in that ports timestamp memory bank than the threshold. A
threshold of zero makes this impossible, so the timestamp status for the
port does not clear.

The ice driver never intentionally programs the threshold to zero, indeed
the driver always programs it to a value of 1, intending to get an
interrupt immediately as soon as even a single packet is waiting for a
timestamp.

However, there is a subtle flaw in the programming logic in the
ice_phy_cfg_intr_eth56g() function. Due to the way that the hardware
handles enabling the PHY interrupt. If the threshold value is modified at
the same time as the interrupt is enabled, the HW PHY state machine might
enable the interrupt before the new threshold value is actually updated.
This leaves a potential race condition caused by the hardware logic where
a PHY timestamp interrupt might be triggered before the non-zero threshold
is written, resulting in the PHY timestamp logic becoming stuck.

Once the PHY timestamp status is stuck high, it will remain stuck even
after attempting to reprogram the PHY block by changing its threshold or
disabling the interrupt. Even a typical PF or CORE reset will not reset the
particular block of the PHY that becomes stuck. Even a warm power cycle is
not guaranteed to cause the PHY block to reset, and a cold power cycle is
required.

Prevent this by always writing the PHY_REG_TS_INT_CONFIG in two stages.
First write the threshold value with the interrupt disabled, and only write
the enable bit after the threshold has been programmed. When disabling the
interrupt, leave the threshold unchanged. Additionally, re-read the
register after writing it to guarantee that the write to the PHY has been
flushed upon exit of the function.

While we're modifying this function implementation, explicitly reject
programming a threshold of 0 when enabling the interrupt. No caller does
this today, but the consequences of doing so are significant. An explicit
rejection in the code makes this clear.
