net: usbnet: Avoid potential RCU stall on LINK_CHANGE event

2025-08-15T10:09:07+00:00

commit 0d9cfc9b8cb17dbc29a98792d36ec39a1cf1395f upstream. The Gemalto Cinterion PLS83-W modem (cdc_ether) is emitting confusing link up and down events when the WWAN interface is activated on the modem-side. Interrupt URBs will in consecutive polls grab: * Link Connected * Link Disconnected * Link Connected Where the last Connected is then a stable link state. When the system is under load this may cause the unlink_urbs() work in __handle_link_change() to not complete before the next usbnet_link_change() call turns the carrier on again, allowing rx_submit() to queue new SKBs. In that event the URB queue is filled faster than it can drain, ending up in a RCU stall: rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 0-.... } 33108 jiffies s: 201 root: 0x1/. rcu: blocking rcu_node structures (internal RCU debug): Sending NMI from CPU 1 to CPUs 0: NMI backtrace for cpu 0 Call trace: arch_local_irq_enable+0x4/0x8 local_bh_enable+0x18/0x20 __netdev_alloc_skb+0x18c/0x1cc rx_submit+0x68/0x1f8 [usbnet] rx_alloc_submit+0x4c/0x74 [usbnet] usbnet_bh+0x1d8/0x218 [usbnet] usbnet_bh_tasklet+0x10/0x18 [usbnet] tasklet_action_common+0xa8/0x110 tasklet_action+0x2c/0x34 handle_softirqs+0x2cc/0x3a0 __do_softirq+0x10/0x18 ____do_softirq+0xc/0x14 call_on_irq_stack+0x24/0x34 do_softirq_own_stack+0x18/0x20 __irq_exit_rcu+0xa8/0xb8 irq_exit_rcu+0xc/0x30 el1_interrupt+0x34/0x48 el1h_64_irq_handler+0x14/0x1c el1h_64_irq+0x68/0x6c _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x38/0x48 xhci_urb_dequeue+0x1ac/0x45c [xhci_hcd] unlink1+0xd4/0xdc [usbcore] usb_hcd_unlink_urb+0x70/0xb0 [usbcore] usb_unlink_urb+0x24/0x44 [usbcore] unlink_urbs.constprop.0.isra.0+0x64/0xa8 [usbnet] __handle_link_change+0x34/0x70 [usbnet] usbnet_deferred_kevent+0x1c0/0x320 [usbnet] process_scheduled_works+0x2d0/0x48c worker_thread+0x150/0x1dc kthread+0xd8/0xe8 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Get around the problem by delaying the carrier on to the scheduled work.

usbnet: fix cyclical race on disconnect with work queue

2024-10-04T14:29:50+00:00

commit 04e906839a053f092ef53f4fb2d610983412b904 upstream. The work can submit URBs and the URBs can schedule the work. This cycle needs to be broken, when a device is to be stopped. Use a flag to do so. This is a design issue as old as the driver.

add missing includes and forward declarations to networking includes under linux/

2022-07-28T09:29:36+00:00

Similarly to a recent include/net/ cleanup, this patch adds missing includes to networking headers under include/linux. All these problems are currently masked by the existing users including the missing dependency before the broken header.

All these files have been updated in the commit given in the Fixes: tag below. When the SPDX-License-Identifier: has been added, the corresponding text at the beginning of the files has not been deleted. All these texts are about GPL-2.0+, with different variation in the wording. Remove these now useless lines to save some LoC.

cdc_ether: export usbnet_cdc_zte_rx_fixup

2022-04-14T13:08:12+00:00

Commit bfe9b9d2df66 ("cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling") introduces a workaround for certain ZTE modems reporting invalid MAC addresses over CDC-ECM. The same issue was present on their RNDIS interface,which was fixed in commit a5a18bdf7453 ("rndis_host: Set valid random MAC on buggy devices"). However, internal modem of ZTE MF286R router, on its RNDIS interface, also exhibits a second issue fixed already in CDC-ECM, of the device not respecting configured random MAC address. In order to share the fixup for this with rndis_host driver, export the workaround function, which will be re-used in the following commit in rndis_host.

usbnet: add method for reporting speed without MII

2021-04-06T23:22:36+00:00

The old method for reporting link speed assumed a driver uses the generic phy (mii) MDIO read/write functions. CDC devices don't expose the phy. Add a primitive internal version reporting back directly what the CDC notification/status operations recorded. v2: rebased on upstream v3: changed names and made clear which units are used v4: moved hunks to correct patch; rewrote commmit messages Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum Tested-by: Roland Dreier Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler Tested-by: Grant Grundler Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-04-06T23:22:36+00:00

The generic functions assumed devices provided an MDIO interface (accessed via older mii code, not phylib). This is true only for genuine ethernet. Devices with a higher level of abstraction or based on different technologies do not have MDIO. To support this case, first rename the existing functions with _mii suffix. v2: rebased on changed upstream v3: changed names to clearly say that this does NOT use phylib v4: moved hunks to correct patch; reworded commmit messages Signed-off-by : Oliver Neukum Tested-by: Roland Dreier Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler Tested-by: Grant Grundler Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S.
