octeontx2-pf: avoid double free of pool->stack on AQ init failure

2026-06-19T11:37:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9b244c242bec48b37e82b89787afd6a4c43457e1 ] otx2_pool_aq_init() frees pool->stack when mailbox sync or retry allocation fails, but leaves the pointer unchanged. Later, otx2_sq_aura_pool_init() unwinds the partial setup through otx2_aura_pool_free(), which frees pool->stack again. The CN20K-specific cn20k_pool_aq_init() implementation has the same bug in its corresponding error path. Set pool->stack to NULL immediately after the local free so the shared cleanup path does not free the same stack again while cleaning up partially initialized pool state. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc3. Runtime validation was not performed because reproducing this path requires OcteonTX2/CN20K hardware.

octeontx2-af: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

2026-06-19T11:37:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 473f8f2d1bfe1103f20140fdc80cad406b4d68c0 ] `strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We can see that linfo->lmac_type is expected to be NUL-terminated based on the `... - 1`'s present in the current code. Presumably making room for a NUL-byte at the end of the buffer. Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Let's also prefer the more idiomatic strscpy usage of (dest, src, sizeof(dest)) rather than (dest, src, SOME_LEN).

ice: fix VF queue configuration with low MTU values

2026-06-19T11:37:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3ba4dd024d26372733d1c02e13e076c6016e3320 ] The ice driver's VF queue configuration validation rejects databuffer_size values below 1024 bytes, which prevents VFs from using MTU values below 871 bytes. The iavf driver calculates databuffer_size based on the MTU using: databuffer_size = ALIGN(MTU + LIBETH_RX_LL_LEN, 128) where LIBETH_RX_LL_LEN = 26 (ETH_HLEN + 2*VLAN_HLEN + ETH_FCS_LEN). For MTU values below 871: MTU 870: 870 + 26 = 896, aligned to 128 = 896 (< 1024, rejected) MTU 871: 871 + 26 = 897, aligned to 128 = 1024 (>= 1024, accepted) The 1024-byte minimum seems unnecessarily restrictive, because the hardware supports databuffer_size as low as 128 bytes (the alignment boundary), which should allow MTU values down to the standard minimum of 68 bytes. I haven't found the reason why the limit was configured in the commit 9c7dd7566d18 ("ice: add validation in OP_CONFIG_VSI_QUEUES VF message"), so with no more information and since it is working, change the minimum databuffer_size validation from 1024 to 128 bytes to allow standard low MTU values while still preventing invalid configurations.

net: stmmac: Prevent NULL deref when RX memory exhausted

2026-06-19T11:37:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0bb05e6adfa99a2ea1fee1125cc0953409f83ed8 ] The CPU receives frames from the MAC through conventional DMA: the CPU allocates buffers for the MAC, then the MAC fills them and returns ownership to the CPU. For each hardware RX queue, the CPU and MAC coordinate through a shared ring array of DMA descriptors: one descriptor per DMA buffer. Each descriptor includes the buffer's physical address and a status flag ("OWN") indicating which side owns the buffer: OWN=0 for CPU, OWN=1 for MAC. The CPU is only allowed to set the flag and the MAC is only allowed to clear it, and both must move through the ring in sequence: thus the ring is used for both "submissions" and "completions." In the stmmac driver, stmmac_rx() bookmarks its position in the ring with the `cur_rx` index. The main receive loop in that function checks for rx_descs[cur_rx].own=0, gives the corresponding buffer to the network stack (NULLing the pointer), and increments `cur_rx` modulo the ring size. After the loop exits, stmmac_rx_refill(), which bookmarks its position with `dirty_rx`, allocates fresh buffers and rearms the descriptors (setting OWN=1). If it fails any allocation, it simply stops early (leaving OWN=0) and will retry where it left off when next called. This means descriptors have a three-stage lifecycle (terms my own): - `empty` (OWN=1, buffer valid) - `full` (OWN=0, buffer valid and populated) - `dirty` (OWN=0, buffer NULL) But because stmmac_rx() only checks OWN, it confuses `full`/`dirty`. In the past (see 'Fixes:'), there was a bug where the loop could cycle `cur_rx` all the way back to the first descriptor it dirtied, resulting in a NULL dereference when mistaken for `full`. The aforementioned commit resolved that *specific* failure by capping the loop's iteration limit at `dma_rx_size - 1`, but this is only a partial fix: if the previous stmmac_rx_refill() didn't complete, then there are leftover `dirty` descriptors that the loop might encounter without needing to cycle fully around. The current code therefore panics (see 'Closes:') when stmmac_rx_refill() is memory-starved long enough for `cur_rx` to catch up to `dirty_rx`. Fix this by explicitly checking, before advancing `cur_rx`, if the next entry is dirty; exit the loop if so. This prevents processing of the final, used descriptor until stmmac_rx_refill() succeeds, but fully prevents the `cur_rx == dirty_rx` ambiguity as the previous bugfix intended: so remove the clamp as well. Since stmmac_rx_zc() is a copy-paste-and-tweak of stmmac_rx() and the code structure is identical, any fix to stmmac_rx() will also need a corresponding fix for stmmac_rx_zc(). Therefore, apply the same check there. In stmmac_rx() (not stmmac_rx_zc()), a related bug remains: after the MAC sets OWN=0 on the final descriptor, it will be unable to send any further DMA-complete IRQs until it's given more `empty` descriptors. Currently, the driver simply *hopes* that the next stmmac_rx_refill() succeeds, risking an indefinite stall of the receive process if not. But this is not a regression, so it can be addressed in a future change.

octeontx2-af: fix memory leak in rvu_setup_hw_resources()

2026-06-19T11:37:16+00:00

commit 09a5bf856aa759513afc4afd233d15bcc711b84e upstream. If rvu_npc_exact_init() fails in rvu_setup_hw_resources(), the function returns directly instead of jumping to the error handling path. This causes a resource leak for the previously initialized CGX, NPC, fwdata, and MSI-X states. Fix this by replacing the direct return with goto cgx_err to ensure proper cleanup. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc6. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have access to Marvell OcteonTX2 RVU AF hardware to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

commit 4aacf509e537a711fa71bca9f234e5eb6968850e upstream. Platform devices created with platform_device_alloc() call platform_device_release() when the last reference to the device's kobject is dropped. This function calls of_node_put() unconditionally. This works fine for devices created with platform_device_register_full() but users of the split approach (platform_device_alloc() + platform_device_add()) must bump the reference of the of_node they assign manually. Add the missing call to of_node_get().
