treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

net: Add support for providing the PTP hardware source in tsinfo

2025-05-22T13:32:00+00:00

Multi-PTP source support within a network topology has been merged, but the hardware timestamp source is not yet exposed to users. Currently, users only see the PTP index, which does not indicate whether the timestamp comes from a PHY or a MAC. Add support for reporting the hwtstamp source using a hwtstamp-source field, alongside hwtstamp-phyindex, to describe the origin of the hardware timestamp. Remove HWTSTAMP_SOURCE_UNSPEC enum value as it is not used at all.

net: ethtool: tsinfo: Fix dump command

2025-03-10T20:14:25+00:00

Fix missing initialization of ts_info->phc_index in the dump command, which could cause a netdev interface to incorrectly display a PTP provider at index 0 instead of "none". Fix it by initializing the phc_index to -1. In the same time, restore missing initialization of ts_info.cmd for the IOCTL case, as it was before the transition from ethnl_default_dumpit to custom ethnl_tsinfo_dumpit. Also, remove unnecessary zeroing of ts_info, as it is embedded within reply_data, which is fully zeroed two lines earlier.

net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header

2025-03-08T17:06:50+00:00

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching the header with the helpers). The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

net: ethtool: try to protect all callback with netdev instance lock

2025-03-06T20:59:44+00:00

Protect all ethtool callbacks and PHY related state with the netdev instance lock, for drivers which want / need to have their ops instance-locked. Basically take the lock everywhere we take rtnl_lock. It was tempting to take the lock in ethnl_ops_begin(), but turns out we actually nest those calls (when generating notifications).

net: ethtool: ts: add separate counter for unconfirmed one-step TX timestamps

2025-01-18T04:01:09+00:00

For packets with two-step timestamp requests, the hardware timestamp comes back to the driver through a confirmation mechanism of sorts, which allows the driver to confidently bump the successful "pkts" counter. For one-step PTP, the NIC is supposed to autonomously insert its hardware TX timestamp in the packet headers while simultaneously transmitting it. There may be a confirmation that this was done successfully, or there may not. None of the current drivers which implement ethtool_ops :: get_ts_stats() also support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC or HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC, so it is a bit unclear which model to follow. But there are NICs, such as DSA, where there is no transmit confirmation at all. Here, it would be wrong / misleading to increment the successful "pkts" counter, because one-step PTP packets can be dropped on TX just like any other packets. So introduce a special counter which signifies "yes, an attempt was made, but we don't know whether it also exited the port or not". I expect that for one-step PTP packets where a confirmation is available, the "pkts" counter would be bumped.

net: ethtool: tsinfo: Enhance tsinfo to support several hwtstamp by net topology

2024-12-16T12:51:41+00:00

Either the MAC or the PHY can provide hwtstamp, so we should be able to read the tsinfo for any hwtstamp provider. Enhance 'get' command to retrieve tsinfo of hwtstamp providers within a network topology. Add support for a specific dump command to retrieve all hwtstamp providers within the network topology, with added functionality for filtered dump to target a single interface.

net: Add struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info

2024-07-15T15:02:26+00:00

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct hwtstamp_config. Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h. The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.
