wifi: mt76: mt7925: ensure tx headroom in usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb

2026-09-02T12:31:02+00:00

commit ef3e34874d2332d0f63e72c2c35ce5c93568c125 upstream. mt7925_usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb() pushes a TX descriptor and a USB header onto every skb and assumes the headroom for them is already there. That holds for locally generated traffic, where mac80211 reserves hw->extra_tx_headroom, but forwarded frames are sent through ieee80211_8023_xmit(), which does not reserve it. Bridge a wired interface to an mt7925u AP and the first forwarded frame that arrives short panics the kernel: skbuff: skb_under_panic: len:415 put:4 tail:0x19b end:0x640 dev:wlan1 kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:212!

Reproduced on a Raspberry Pi 5 bridging onboard ethernet to a Netgear A9000; originally reported on an MT7986 router running OpenWrt. Nick Morrow's testing on a Pi 4 (bcmgenet), which leaves more headroom, helped narrow the trigger to the ingress path. The same bug was fixed on mt7921 by commit 98c4d0abf5c4 ("mt76: mt7921: don't assume adequate headroom for SDIO headers"), but mt7925 was copied from mt7921 without the fix. Add the same guard here.

vxlan: keep the last remote linked during FDB flush

2026-09-02T12:31:01+00:00

commit d5d4a7b538b52db63927773a8905fcd9f78a42e2 upstream. A non-nexthop FDB entry is expected to have at least one remote while it remains reachable through the FDB hash table. A filtered bulk flush violates this invariant when every remote matches: It unlinks the last remote in vxlan_fdb_dst_destroy() and only afterwards tells vxlan_flush() to destroy the parent FDB entry. An RCU reader can find the parent during this interval. first_remote_rcu() then applies list_entry_rcu() to the empty list head, producing an invalid remote pointer that the receive learning path can read from and write to. When a matching remote is the sole remaining remote, leave it linked and ask the caller to destroy the entire FDB entry. vxlan_fdb_destroy() keeps the remote attached while sending the deletion notification and removing the parent from the lookup structures.

gtp: serialize PDP context updates

2026-09-02T12:31:00+00:00

commit 498386b6d402737db1e2eeed4c385acbf0ef9e34 upstream. PDP contexts can be deleted through GTP_CMD_DELPDP or while the GTP network device is being unregistered. The latter is serialized by RTNL, but the generic-netlink delete path only holds RCU. Running both paths concurrently can therefore make both paths delete the same PDP context. The issue was found through static analysis and reproduced on a KASAN-enabled kernel by a simple two-thread program racing GTP_CMD_DELPDP against RTM_DELLINK: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127] RIP: gtp_genl_del_pdp+0x1c1/0x420 [gtp] RBP: dead000000000122 The second deletion dereferenced the poisoned hlist pprev pointer. Serialize gtp_pdp_add(), gtp_genl_del_pdp(), and gtp_dellink() with a shared mutex. Keep the mutex held until the final use of a PDP context in the NEWPDP path, and keep the RCU read-side section around the complete PDP context use in the DELPDP path.

veth: fix OOB txq access in veth_poll() with asymmetric queue counts

2026-09-02T12:30:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 08f566e8f83bb70f04ad5aba5be352c490a01c8a ] XDP redirect into a veth device (via bpf_redirect()) calls veth_xdp_xmit(), which enqueues frames into the peer's ptr_ring using smp_processor_id() % peer->real_num_rx_queues as the ring index. With an asymmetric veth pair where the peer has fewer TX queues than RX queues, that index can exceed peer->real_num_tx_queues. veth_poll() then resolves peer_txq for the ring via: peer_txq = peer_dev ? netdev_get_tx_queue(peer_dev, queue_idx) : NULL; where queue_idx = rq->xdp_rxq.queue_index. When queue_idx exceeds peer_dev->real_num_tx_queues this is an out-of-bounds (OOB) access into the peer's netdev_queue array, triggering DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE in netdev_get_tx_queue(). The normal ndo_start_xmit path is not affected: the stack clamps skb->queue_mapping via netdev_cap_txqueue() before invoking ndo_start_xmit, so rxq in veth_xmit() never exceeds real_num_tx_queues. Fix veth_poll() by clamping: only dereference peer_txq when queue_idx is within bounds, otherwise set it to NULL. The out-of-range rings are fed exclusively via XDP redirect (veth_xdp_xmit), never via ndo_start_xmit (veth_xmit), so the peer txq was never stopped and there is nothing to wake; NULL is the correct fallback.

ibmvnic: Use kernel helpers for hex dumps

[ Upstream commit d93a6caab5d7d9b5ce034d75b1e1e993338e3852 ] Previously, when the driver was printing hex dumps, the buffer was cast to an 8 byte long and printed using string formatters.

net/ionic: avoid OOB TX partner lookup for hwstamp RXQ

2026-08-27T12:32:07+00:00

commit d92255b405fb6f5acca408239ccd742e0a42c9cb upstream. The dedicated hardware timestamp RX queue is allocated with q->index equal to lif->ionic->nrxqs_per_lif. The normal txqcqs array only contains the regular queue pairs, so using that index to set rxq->partner can read one entry past txqcqs[] and then write through the derived pointer. Only link RX/TX partners for normal queue-pair indexes. Leave the hwstamp RX queue unpaired, and make the XDP_TX path abort cleanly if an RX queue has no TX partner.

NTB: ntb_netdev: Preserve RX queue depth on allocation failure

2026-08-27T12:32:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit d2121faf133ac3bf9531b53a7e21273649a08517 ] ntb_netdev_rx_handler() hands the received skb to the network stack before allocating its replacement. If the allocation fails, nothing is reposted. Every failure therefore takes one buffer out of the RX queue while the interface remains up, and enough failures eventually stall reception. A retry path could refill the queue later, but ntb_netdev has none. Allocate the replacement first instead. If that fails, drop the packet and repost the same skb. This keeps the queue full and lets packet delivery resume as soon as memory is available again.

gve: fix zero-length skb frag with header-split

2026-08-27T12:32:04+00:00

commit 6bf14575c65569dcded90ef78afb8a6d57323f04 upstream. When header split is enabled and a header-only packet is received such as a pure TCP ACK, GVE will indicate an RX SKB with a zero-length fragment. If this SKB is then hairpinned and sent back out, the GVE TX path will emit a zero-length descriptor. Hardware considers this an illegal descriptor and stops the queue, causing a TX timeout and interface reset. Fix it by not adding the zero-length skb frag.
