net: ncsi: fix skb leak in error paths

2026-03-19T15:15:22+00:00

commit 5c3398a54266541610c8d0a7082e654e9ff3e259 upstream. Early return paths in NCSI RX and AEN handlers fail to release the received skb, resulting in a memory leak. Specifically, ncsi_aen_handler() returns on invalid AEN packets without consuming the skb. Similarly, ncsi_rcv_rsp() exits early when failing to resolve the NCSI device, response handler, or request, leaving the skb unfreed.

net: ncsi: Fix buffer overflow in fetching version id

2025-06-13T01:21:59+00:00

In NC-SI spec v1.2 section 8.4.44.2, the firmware name doesn't need to be null terminated while its size occupies the full size of the field. Fix the buffer overflow issue by adding one additional byte for null terminator.

net: core: Convert dev_set_mac_address() to struct sockaddr_storage

2025-05-27T06:25:43+00:00

All users of dev_set_mac_address() are now using a struct sockaddr_storage. Convert the internal data type to struct sockaddr_storage, drop the casts, and update pointer types. Acked-by: Gustavo A.

net: ncsi: Fix GCPS 64-bit member variables

Correct Get Controller Packet Statistics (GCPS) 64-bit wide member variables, as per DSP0222 v1.0.0 and forward specs. The Driver currently collects these stats, but they are yet to be exposed to the user. Therefore, no user impact.

net/ncsi: use dev_set_mac_address() for Get MC MAC Address handling

2025-01-27T09:20:07+00:00

Copy of the rationale from 790071347a0a1a89e618eedcd51c687ea783aeb3: Change ndo_set_mac_address to dev_set_mac_address because dev_set_mac_address provides a way to notify network layer about MAC change. In other case, services may not aware about MAC change and keep using old one which set from network adapter driver. As example, DHCP client from systemd do not update MAC address without notification from net subsystem which leads to the problem with acquiring the right address from DHCP server. Since dev_set_mac_address requires RTNL lock the operation can not be performed directly in the response handler, see 9e2bbab94b88295dcc57c7580393c9ee08d7314d. The way of selecting the first suitable MAC address from the list is changed, instead of having the driver check it this patch just assumes any valid MAC should be good.

net/ncsi: wait for the last response to Deselect Package before configuring channel

2025-01-23T03:52:48+00:00

The NCSI state machine as it's currently implemented assumes that transition to the next logical state is performed either explicitly by calling `schedule_work(&ndp->work)` to re-queue itself or implicitly after processing the predefined (ndp->pending_req_num) number of replies. Thus to avoid the configuration FSM from advancing prematurely and getting out of sync with the process it's essential to not skip waiting for a reply. This patch makes the code wait for reception of the Deselect Package response for the last package probed before proceeding to channel configuration. Thanks go to Potin Lai and Cosmo Chou for the initial investigation and testing.

net/ncsi: fix locking in Get MAC Address handling

2025-01-14T02:59:56+00:00

Obtaining RTNL lock in a response handler is not allowed since it runs in an atomic softirq context. Postpone setting the MAC address by adding a dedicated step to the configuration FSM.
