igc: fix page fault in XDP TX timestamps handling

2026-03-17T20:28:55+00:00

If an XDP application that requested TX timestamping is shutting down while the link of the interface in use is still up the following kernel splat is reported: [ 883.803618] [ T1554] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffcfb6200fd008 ... [ 883.803650] [ T1554] Call Trace: [ 883.803652] [ T1554] [ 883.803654] [ T1554] igc_ptp_tx_tstamp_event+0xdf/0x160 [igc] [ 883.803660] [ T1554] igc_tsync_interrupt+0x2d5/0x300 [igc] ... During shutdown of the TX ring the xsk_meta pointers are left behind, so that the IRQ handler is trying to touch them. This issue is now being fixed by cleaning up the stale xsk meta data on TX shutdown. TX timestamps on other queues remain unaffected.

igc: Fix trigger of incorrect irq in igc_xsk_wakeup function

2026-03-03T21:06:05+00:00

This patch addresses the issue where the igc_xsk_wakeup function was triggering an incorrect IRQ for tx-0 when the i226 is configured with only 2 combined queues or in an environment with 2 active CPU cores. This prevented XDP Zero-copy send functionality in such split IRQ configurations. The fix implements the correct logic for extracting q_vectors saved during rx and tx ring allocation and utilizes flags provided by the ndo_xsk_wakeup API to trigger the appropriate IRQ.

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

Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. 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

igc: Reduce TSN TX packet buffer from 7KB to 5KB per queue

2026-01-13T19:18:34+00:00

The previous 7 KB per queue caused TX unit hangs under heavy timestamping load. Reducing to 5 KB avoids these hangs and matches the TSN recommendation in I225/I226 SW User Manual Section 7.5.4. The 8 KB "freed" by this change is currently unused. This reduction is not expected to impact throughput, as the i226 is PCIe-limited for small TSN packets rather than TX-buffer-limited.

igc: fix race condition in TX timestamp read for register 0

2026-01-13T19:18:34+00:00

The current HW bug workaround checks the TXTT_0 ready bit first, then reads TXSTMPL_0 twice (before and after reading TXSTMPH_0) to detect whether a new timestamp was captured by timestamp register 0 during the workaround. This sequence has a race: if a new timestamp is captured after checking the TXTT_0 bit but before the first TXSTMPL_0 read, the detection fails because both the "old" and "new" values come from the same timestamp. Fix by reading TXSTMPL_0 first to establish a baseline, then checking the TXTT_0 bit. This ensures any timestamp captured during the race window will be detected. Old sequence: 1. Check TXTT_0 ready bit 2. Read TXSTMPL_0 (baseline) 3. Read TXSTMPH_0 (interrupt workaround) 4. Read TXSTMPL_0 (detect changes vs baseline) New sequence: 1. Read TXSTMPL_0 (baseline) 2. Check TXTT_0 ready bit 3. Read TXSTMPH_0 (interrupt workaround) 4.

igc: Restore default Qbv schedule when changing channels

2026-01-13T19:18:34+00:00

The Multi-queue Priority (MQPRIO) and Earliest TxTime First (ETF) offloads utilize the Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) Tx mode. This mode is always coupled to IEEE 802.1Qbv time aware shaper (Qbv). Therefore, the driver sets a default Qbv schedule of all gates opened and a cycle time of 1s. This schedule is set during probe. However, the following sequence of events lead to Tx issues: - Boot a dual core system igc_probe(): igc_tsn_clear_schedule(): -> Default Schedule is set Note: At this point the driver has allocated two Tx/Rx queues, because there are only two CPUs. - ethtool -L enp3s0 combined 4 igc_ethtool_set_channels(): igc_reinit_queues() -> Default schedule is gone, per Tx ring start and end time are zero - tc qdisc replace dev enp3s0 handle 100 parent root mqprio \ num_tc 4 map 3 3 2 2 0 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 \ queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 hw 1 igc_tsn_offload_apply(): igc_tsn_enable_offload(): -> Writes zeros to IGC_STQT(i) and IGC_ENDQT(i), causing Tx to stall/fail Therefore, restore the default Qbv schedule after changing the number of channels. Furthermore, add a restriction to not allow queue reconfiguration when TSN/Qbv is enabled, because it may lead to inconsistent states.
