net: dsa: properly keep track of conduit reference

2026-03-25T10:06:00+00:00

commit 06e219f6a706c367c93051f408ac61417643d2f9 upstream. Problem description ------------------- DSA has a mumbo-jumbo of reference handling of the conduit net device and its kobject which, sadly, is just wrong and doesn't make sense. There are two distinct problems. 1. The OF path, which uses of_find_net_device_by_node(), never releases the elevated refcount on the conduit's kobject. Nominally, the OF and non-OF paths should result in objects having identical reference counts taken, and it is already suspicious that dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a put_device() call which is missing in dsa_port_parse_of(), but we can actually even verify that an issue exists. With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, if we run this command "before" and "after" applying this patch: (unbind the conduit driver for net device eno2) echo 0000:00:00.2 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/fsl_enetc/unbind we see these lines in the output diff which appear only with the patch applied: kobject: 'eno2' (ffff002009a3a6b8): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000) kobject: '109' (ffff0020099d59a0): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000) 2. After we find the conduit interface one way (OF) or another (non-OF), it can get unregistered at any time, and DSA remains with a long-lived, but in this case stale, cpu_dp->conduit pointer. Holding the net device's underlying kobject isn't actually of much help, it just prevents it from being freed (but we never need that kobject directly). What helps us to prevent the net device from being unregistered is the parallel netdev reference mechanism (dev_hold() and dev_put()). Actually we actually use that netdev tracker mechanism implicitly on user ports since commit 2f1e8ea726e9 ("net: dsa: link interfaces with the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings"), via netdev_upper_dev_link(). But time still passes at DSA switch probe time between the initial of_find_net_device_by_node() code and the user port creation time, time during which the conduit could unregister itself and DSA wouldn't know about it. So we have to run of_find_net_device_by_node() under rtnl_lock() to prevent that from happening, and release the lock only with the netdev tracker having acquired the reference. Do we need to keep the reference until dsa_unregister_switch() / dsa_switch_shutdown()? 1: Maybe yes. A switch device will still be registered even if all user ports failed to probe, see commit 86f8b1c01a0a ("net: dsa: Do not make user port errors fatal"), and the cpu_dp->conduit pointers remain valid. I haven't audited all call paths to see whether they will actually use the conduit in lack of any user port, but if they do, it seems safer to not rely on user ports for that reference. 2. Definitely yes. We support changing the conduit which a user port is associated to, and we can get into a situation where we've moved all user ports away from a conduit, thus no longer hold any reference to it via the net device tracker. But we shouldn't let it go nonetheless - see the next change in relation to dsa_tree_find_first_conduit() and LAG conduits which disappear. We have to be prepared to return to the physical conduit, so the CPU port must explicitly keep another reference to it. This is also to say: the user ports and their CPU ports may not always keep a reference to the same conduit net device, and both are needed. As for the conduit's kobject for the /sys/class/net/ entry, we don't care about it, we can release it as soon as we hold the net device object itself. History and blame attribution ----------------------------- The code has been refactored so many times, it is very difficult to follow and properly attribute a blame, but I'll try to make a short history which I hope to be correct. We have two distinct probing paths: - one for OF, introduced in 2016 in commit 83c0afaec7b7 ("net: dsa: Add new binding implementation") - one for non-OF, introduced in 2017 in commit 71e0bbde0d88 ("net: dsa: Add support for platform data") These are both complete rewrites of the original probing paths (which used struct dsa_switch_driver and other weird stuff, instead of regular devices on their respective buses for register access, like MDIO, SPI, I2C etc): - one for OF, introduced in 2013 in commit 5e95329b701c ("dsa: add device tree bindings to register DSA switches") - one for non-OF, introduced in 2008 in commit 91da11f870f0 ("net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support") except for tiny bits and pieces like dsa_dev_to_net_device() which were seemingly carried over since the original commit, and used to this day. The point is that the original probing paths received a fix in 2015 in the form of commit 679fb46c5785 ("net: dsa: Add missing master netdev dev_put() calls"), but the fix never made it into the "new" (dsa2) probing paths that can still be traced to today, and the fixed probing path was later deleted in 2019 in commit 93e86b3bc842 ("net: dsa: Remove legacy probing support"). That is to say, the new probing paths were never quite correct in this area. The existence of the legacy probing support which was deleted in 2019 explains why dsa_dev_to_net_device() returns a conduit with elevated refcount (because it was supposed to be released during dsa_remove_dst()). After the removal of the legacy code, the only user of dsa_dev_to_net_device() calls dev_put(conduit) immediately after this function returns. This pattern makes no sense today, and can only be interpreted historically to understand why dev_hold() was there in the first place. Change details -------------- Today we have a better netdev tracking infrastructure which we should use. Logically netdev_hold() belongs in common code (dsa_port_parse_cpu(), where dp->conduit is assigned), but there is a tradeoff to be made with the rtnl_lock() section which would become a bit too long if we did that - dsa_port_parse_cpu() also calls request_module(). So we duplicate a bit of logic in order for the callers of dsa_port_parse_cpu() to be the ones responsible of holding the conduit reference and releasing it on error. This shortens the rtnl_lock() section significantly. In the dsa_switch_probe() error path, dsa_switch_release_ports() will be called in a number of situations, one being where dsa_port_parse_cpu() maybe didn't get the chance to run at all (a different port failed earlier, etc). So we have to test for the conduit being NULL prior to calling netdev_put(). There have still been so many transformations to the code since the blamed commits (rename master -> conduit, commit 0650bf52b31f ("net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown")), that it only makes sense to fix the code using the best methods available today and see how it can be backported to stable later. I suspect the fix cannot even be backported to kernels which lack dsa_switch_shutdown(), and I suspect this is also maybe why the long-lived conduit reference didn't make it into the new DSA probing paths at the time (problems during shutdown). Because dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a single call site and has to be changed anyway, the logic was just absorbed into the non-OF dsa_port_parse(). Tested on the ocelot/felix switch and on dsa_loop, both on the NXP LS1028A with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y.

net: dsa: fix off-by-one in maximum bridge ID determination

2026-01-30T09:27:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit dfca045cd4d0ea07ff4198ba392be3e718acaddc ] Prior to the blamed commit, the bridge_num range was from 0 to ds->max_num_bridges - 1. After the commit, it is from 1 to ds->max_num_bridges. So this check: if (bridge_num >= max) return 0; must be updated to: if (bridge_num > max) return 0; in order to allow the last bridge_num value (==max) to be used. This is easiest visible when a driver sets ds->max_num_bridges=1. The observed behaviour is that even the first created bridge triggers the netlink extack "Range of offloadable bridges exceeded" warning, and is handled in software rather than being offloaded.

net: dsa: improve shutdown sequence

2025-11-24T09:30:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6c24a03a61a245fe34d47582898331fa034b6ccd ] Alexander Sverdlin presents 2 problems during shutdown with the lan9303 driver. One is specific to lan9303 and the other just happens to reproduce there. The first problem is that lan9303 is unique among DSA drivers in that it calls dev_get_drvdata() at "arbitrary runtime" (not probe, not shutdown, not remove): phy_state_machine() -> ... -> dsa_user_phy_read() -> ds->ops->phy_read() -> lan9303_phy_read() -> chip->ops->phy_read() -> lan9303_mdio_phy_read() -> dev_get_drvdata() But we never stop the phy_state_machine(), so it may continue to run after dsa_switch_shutdown(). Our common pattern in all DSA drivers is to set drvdata to NULL to suppress the remove() method that may come afterwards. But in this case it will result in an NPD. The second problem is that the way in which we set dp->master->dsa_ptr = NULL; is concurrent with receive packet processing. dsa_switch_rcv() checks once whether dev->dsa_ptr is NULL, but afterwards, rather than continuing to use that non-NULL value, dev->dsa_ptr is dereferenced again and again without NULL checks: dsa_master_find_slave() and many other places. In between dereferences, there is no locking to ensure that what was valid once continues to be valid. Both problems have the common aspect that closing the master interface solves them. In the first case, dev_close(master) triggers the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN event in dsa_slave_netdevice_event() which closes slave ports as well. dsa_port_disable_rt() calls phylink_stop(), which synchronously stops the phylink state machine, and ds->ops->phy_read() will thus no longer call into the driver after this point. In the second case, dev_close(master) should do this, as per Documentation/networking/driver.rst: | Quiescence | ---------- | | After the ndo_stop routine has been called, the hardware must | not receive or transmit any data. All in flight packets must | be aborted. If necessary, poll or wait for completion of | any reset commands. So it should be sufficient to ensure that later, when we zeroize master->dsa_ptr, there will be no concurrent dsa_switch_rcv() call on this master. The addition of the netif_device_detach() function is to ensure that ioctls, rtnetlinks and ethtool requests on the slave ports no longer propagate down to the driver - we're no longer prepared to handle them. The race condition actually did not exist when commit 0650bf52b31f ("net: dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown") first introduced dsa_switch_shutdown(). It was created later, when we stopped unregistering the slave interfaces from a bad spot, and we just replaced that sequence with a racy zeroization of master->dsa_ptr (one which doesn't ensure that the interfaces aren't up).

net: dsa: free routing table on probe failure

2025-04-25T08:45:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8bf108d7161ffc6880ad13a0cc109de3cf631727 ] If complete = true in dsa_tree_setup(), it means that we are the last switch of the tree which is successfully probing, and we should be setting up all switches from our probe path. After "complete" becomes true, dsa_tree_setup_cpu_ports() or any subsequent function may fail. If that happens, the entire tree setup is in limbo: the first N-1 switches have successfully finished probing (doing nothing but having allocated persistent memory in the tree's dst->ports, and maybe dst->rtable), and switch N failed to probe, ending the tree setup process before anything is tangible from the user's PoV. If switch N fails to probe, its memory (ports) will be freed and removed from dst->ports. However, the dst->rtable elements pointing to its ports, as created by dsa_link_touch(), will remain there, and will lead to use-after-free if dereferenced. If dsa_tree_setup_switches() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, which is entirely possible because that is where ds->ops->setup() is, we get a kasan report like this: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in mv88e6xxx_setup_upstream_port+0x240/0x568 Read of size 8 at addr ffff000004f56020 by task kworker/u8:3/42 Call trace: __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x20/0x30 mv88e6xxx_setup_upstream_port+0x240/0x568 mv88e6xxx_setup+0xebc/0x1eb0 dsa_register_switch+0x1af4/0x2ae0 mv88e6xxx_register_switch+0x1b8/0x2a8 mv88e6xxx_probe+0xc4c/0xf60 mdio_probe+0x78/0xb8 really_probe+0x2b8/0x5a8 __driver_probe_device+0x164/0x298 driver_probe_device+0x78/0x258 __device_attach_driver+0x274/0x350 Allocated by task 42: __kasan_kmalloc+0x84/0xa0 __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x298/0x490 dsa_switch_touch_ports+0x174/0x3d8 dsa_register_switch+0x800/0x2ae0 mv88e6xxx_register_switch+0x1b8/0x2a8 mv88e6xxx_probe+0xc4c/0xf60 mdio_probe+0x78/0xb8 really_probe+0x2b8/0x5a8 __driver_probe_device+0x164/0x298 driver_probe_device+0x78/0x258 __device_attach_driver+0x274/0x350 Freed by task 42: __kasan_slab_free+0x48/0x68 kfree+0x138/0x418 dsa_register_switch+0x2694/0x2ae0 mv88e6xxx_register_switch+0x1b8/0x2a8 mv88e6xxx_probe+0xc4c/0xf60 mdio_probe+0x78/0xb8 really_probe+0x2b8/0x5a8 __driver_probe_device+0x164/0x298 driver_probe_device+0x78/0x258 __device_attach_driver+0x274/0x350 The simplest way to fix the bug is to delete the routing table in its entirety. dsa_tree_setup_routing_table() has no problem in regenerating it even if we deleted links between ports other than those of switch N, because dsa_link_touch() first checks whether the port pair already exists in dst->rtable, allocating if not. The deletion of the routing table in its entirety already exists in dsa_tree_teardown(), so refactor that into a function that can also be called from the tree setup error path. In my analysis of the commit to blame, it is the one which added dsa_link elements to dst->rtable. Prior to that, each switch had its own ds->rtable which is freed when the switch fails to probe. But the tree is potentially persistent memory.

net: dsa: clean up FDB, MDB, VLAN entries on unbind

2025-04-25T08:45:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7afb5fb42d4950f33af2732b8147c552659f79b7 ] As explained in many places such as commit b117e1e8a86d ("net: dsa: delete dsa_legacy_fdb_add and dsa_legacy_fdb_del"), DSA is written given the assumption that higher layers have balanced additions/deletions. As such, it only makes sense to be extremely vocal when those assumptions are violated and the driver unbinds with entries still present. But Ido Schimmel points out a very simple situation where that is wrong: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ZDazSM5UsPPjQuKr@shredder/ (also briefly discussed by me in the aforementioned commit). Basically, while the bridge bypass operations are not something that DSA explicitly documents, and for the majority of DSA drivers this API simply causes them to go to promiscuous mode, that isn't the case for all drivers. Some have the necessary requirements for bridge bypass operations to do something useful - see dsa_switch_supports_uc_filtering(). Although in tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/local_termination.sh, we made an effort to popularize better mechanisms to manage address filters on DSA interfaces from user space - namely macvlan for unicast, and setsockopt(IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP) - through mtools - for multicast, the fact is that 'bridge fdb add ... self static local' also exists as kernel UAPI, and might be useful to someone, even if only for a quick hack. It seems counter-productive to block that path by implementing shim .ndo_fdb_add and .ndo_fdb_del operations which just return -EOPNOTSUPP in order to prevent the ndo_dflt_fdb_add() and ndo_dflt_fdb_del() from running, although we could do that. Accepting that cleanup is necessary seems to be the only option. Especially since we appear to be coming back at this from a different angle as well. Russell King is noticing that the WARN_ON() triggers even for VLANs: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/Z_li8Bj8bD4-BYKQ@shell.armlinux.org.uk/ What happens in the bug report above is that dsa_port_do_vlan_del() fails, then the VLAN entry lingers on, and then we warn on unbind and leak it. This is not a straight revert of the blamed commit, but we now add an informational print to the kernel log (to still have a way to see that bugs exist), and some extra comments gathered from past years' experience, to justify the logic.

net: dsa: avoid suspicious RCU usage for synced VLAN-aware MAC addresses

2023-06-27T16:37:41+00:00

When using the felix driver (the only one which supports UC filtering and MC filtering) as a DSA master for a random other DSA switch, one can see the following stack trace when the downstream switch ports join a VLAN-aware bridge: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage ----------------------------- net/8021q/vlan_core.c:238 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage! stack backtrace: Workqueue: dsa_ordered dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work Call trace: lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x170/0x210 vlan_for_each+0x8c/0x188 dsa_slave_sync_uc+0x128/0x178 __hw_addr_sync_dev+0x138/0x158 dsa_slave_set_rx_mode+0x58/0x70 __dev_set_rx_mode+0x88/0xa8 dev_uc_add+0x74/0xa0 dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add+0xec/0x180 dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work+0x7c/0x1c8 process_one_work+0x290/0x568 What it's saying is that vlan_for_each() expects rtnl_lock() context and it's not getting it, when it's called from the DSA master's ndo_set_rx_mode(). The caller of that - dsa_slave_set_rx_mode() - is the slave DSA interface's dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add() which comes from the deferred dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work(). We went to great lengths to avoid the rtnl_lock() context in that call path in commit 0faf890fc519 ("net: dsa: drop rtnl_lock from dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work"), and calling rtnl_lock() is simply not an option due to the possibility of deadlocking when calling dsa_flush_workqueue() from the call paths that do hold rtnl_lock() - basically all of them. So, when the DSA master calls vlan_for_each() from its ndo_set_rx_mode(), the state of the 8021q driver on this device is really not protected from concurrent access by anything. Looking at net/8021q/, I don't think that vlan_info->vid_list was particularly designed with RCU traversal in mind, so introducing an RCU read-side form of vlan_for_each() - vlan_for_each_rcu() - won't be so easy, and it also wouldn't be exactly what we need anyway. In general I believe that the solution isn't in net/8021q/ anyway; vlan_for_each() is not cut out for this task. DSA doesn't need rtnl_lock() to be held per se - since it's not a netdev state change that we're blocking, but rather, just concurrent additions/removals to a VLAN list. We don't even need sleepable context - the callback of vlan_for_each() just schedules deferred work. The proposed escape is to remove the dependency on vlan_for_each() and to open-code a non-sleepable, rtnl-free alternative to that, based on copies of the VLAN list modified from .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid() and .ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid().

net: dsa: introduce preferred_default_local_cpu_port and use on MT7530

2023-06-20T08:40:26+00:00

Since the introduction of the OF bindings, DSA has always had a policy that in case multiple CPU ports are present in the device tree, the numerically smallest one is always chosen. The MT7530 switch family, except the switch on the MT7988 SoC, has 2 CPU ports, 5 and 6, where port 6 is preferable on the MT7531BE switch because it has higher bandwidth. The MT7530 driver developers had 3 options: - to modify DSA when the MT7531 switch support was introduced, such as to prefer the better port - to declare both CPU ports in device trees as CPU ports, and live with the sub-optimal performance resulting from not preferring the better port - to declare just port 6 in the device tree as a CPU port Of course they chose the path of least resistance (3rd option), kicking the can down the road. The hardware description in the device tree is supposed to be stable - developers are not supposed to adopt the strategy of piecemeal hardware description, where the device tree is updated in lockstep with the features that the kernel currently supports. Now, as a result of the fact that they did that, any attempts to modify the device tree and describe both CPU ports as CPU ports would make DSA change its default selection from port 6 to 5, effectively resulting in a performance degradation visible to users with the MT7531BE switch as can be seen below.

As such, this change proposes that we retroactively modify stable kernels (which don't support the modification of the CPU port assignments, so as to let user space fix the problem and restore the throughput) to keep the mt7530 driver preferring port 6 even with device trees where the hardware is more fully described.

net: dsa: replace NETDEV_PRE_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP notifier with a stub

2023-04-09T14:35:49+00:00

There was a sort of rush surrounding commit 88c0a6b503b7 ("net: create a netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master"), due to a desire to convert DSA's attempt to deny TX timestamping on a DSA master to something that doesn't block the kernel-wide API conversion from ndo_eth_ioctl() to ndo_hwtstamp_set(). What was required was a mechanism that did not depend on ndo_eth_ioctl(), and what was provided was a mechanism that did not depend on ndo_eth_ioctl(), while at the same time introducing something that wasn't absolutely necessary - a new netdev notifier. There have been objections from Jakub Kicinski that using notifiers in general when they are not absolutely necessary creates complications to the control flow and difficulties to maintainers who look at the code. So there is a desire to not use notifiers. In addition to that, the notifier chain gets called even if there is no DSA in the system and no one is interested in applying any restriction. Take the model of udp_tunnel_nic_ops and introduce a stub mechanism, through which net/core/dev_ioctl.c can call into DSA even when CONFIG_NET_DSA=m. Compared to the code that existed prior to the notifier conversion, aka what was added in commits: - 4cfab3566710 ("net: dsa: Add wrappers for overloaded ndo_ops") - 3369afba1e46 ("net: Call into DSA netdevice_ops wrappers") this is different because we are not overloading any struct net_device_ops of the DSA master anymore, but rather, we are exposing a rather specific functionality which is orthogonal to which API is used to enable it - ndo_eth_ioctl() or ndo_hwtstamp_set(). Also, what is similar is that both approaches use function pointers to get from built-in code to DSA. There is no point in replicating the function pointers towards __dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate() once for every CPU port (dev->dsa_ptr). Instead, it is sufficient to introduce a singleton struct dsa_stubs, built into the kernel, which contains a single function pointer to __dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate(). I find this approach preferable to what we had originally, because dev->dsa_ptr->netdev_ops->ndo_do_ioctl() used to require going through struct dsa_port (dev->dsa_ptr), and so, this was incompatible with any attempts to add any data encapsulation and hide DSA data structures from the outside world.

net: dsa: kill off dsa_priv.h

2022-11-23T04:41:54+00:00

The last remnants in dsa_priv.h are a netlink-related definition for which we create a new header, and DSA_MAX_NUM_OFFLOADING_BRIDGES which is only used from dsa.c, so move it there. Some inclusions need to be adjusted now that we no longer have headers included transitively from dsa_priv.h.

net: dsa: rename dsa2.c back into dsa.c and create its header

2022-11-23T04:41:53+00:00

The previous change moved the code into the larger file (dsa2.c) to minimize the delta. Rename that now to dsa.c, and create dsa.h, where all related definitions from dsa_priv.h go. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
