ethtool: strset: fix header attribute index in ethnl_req_get_phydev()

2026-06-09T10:25:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit a8d8bef6b45bf7cc0b1f6110c5cd8d0160a9bad7 ] strset_prepare_data() passes ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS (3) as the header attribute to ethnl_req_get_phydev(). This is incorrect, in the main attr space 3 is ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS_ONLY, not the request header attr. The correct constant is ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_HEADER (1). ethnl_req_get_phydev() only uses this value for the extack, so this is not a "functionally visible"(?) bug.

net: ethtool: netlink: Allow NULL nlattrs when getting a phy_device

2025-03-13T12:02:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 637399bf7e77797811adf340090b561a8f9d1213 ] ethnl_req_get_phydev() is used to lookup a phy_device, in the case an ethtool netlink command targets a specific phydev within a netdev's topology. It takes as a parameter a const struct nlattr *header that's used for error handling : if (!phydev) { NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR(extack, header, "no phy matching phyindex"); return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); } In the notify path after a ->set operation however, there's no request attributes available. The typical callsite for the above function looks like: phydev = ethnl_req_get_phydev(req_base, tb[ETHTOOL_A_XXX_HEADER], info->extack); So, when tb is NULL (such as in the ethnl notify path), we have a nice crash. It turns out that there's only the PLCA command that is in that case, as the other phydev-specific commands don't have a notification. This commit fixes the crash by passing the cmd index and the nlattr array separately, allowing NULL-checking it directly inside the helper.

ethtool: Don't check for NULL info in prepare_data callbacks

Since commit f946270d05c2 ("ethtool: netlink: always pass genl_info to .prepare_data") the info argument of prepare_data callbacks is never NULL. Remove checks present in callback implementations.

ethtool: netlink: always pass genl_info to .prepare_data

2023-08-15T22:01:03+00:00

We had a number of bugs in the past because developers forgot to fully test dumps, which pass NULL as info to .prepare_data. .prepare_data implementations would try to access info->extack leading to a null-deref. Now that dumps and notifications can access struct genl_info we can pass it in, and remove the info null checks.

ethtool: strset: fix message length calculation

2021-06-14T19:14:24+00:00

Outer nest for ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_STRINGSETS is not accounted for. This may result in ETHTOOL_MSG_STRSET_GET producing a warning like: calculated message payload length (684) not sufficient WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 30967 at net/ethtool/netlink.c:369 ethnl_default_doit+0x87a/0xa20 and a splat. As usually with such warnings three conditions must be met for the warning to trigger: - there must be no skb size rounding up (e.g. reply_size of 684); - string set must be per-device (so that the header gets populated); - the device name must be at least 12 characters long. all in all with current user space it looks like reading priv flags is the only place this could potentially happen.

ethtool: add interface to read RMON stats

2021-04-16T23:59:20+00:00

Most devices maintain RMON (RFC 2819) stats - particularly the "histogram" of packets received by size. Unlike other RFCs which duplicate IEEE stats, the short/oversized frame counters in RMON don't seem to match IEEE stats 1-to-1 either, so expose those, too. Do not expose basic packet, CRC errors etc - those are already otherwise covered. Because standard defines packet ranges only up to 1518, and everything above that should theoretically be "oversized" - devices often create their own ranges. Going beyond what the RFC defines - expose the "histogram" in the Tx direction (assume for now that the ranges will be the same). Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
