net: enetc: add unstructured pMAC counters for ENETC v1
The ENETC v1 has two MACs (eMAC and pMAC) to support preemption. The
existing unstructured counters include the eMAC counters, but not the
pMAC counters. So add pMAC counters to improve statistical coverage.
net: enetc: remove standardized counters from enetc_pm_counters
The standardized counters are already exposed via the get_pause_stats(),
get_rmon_stats(), get_eth_ctrl_stats() and get_eth_mac_stats()
interfaces. Keeping the same counters in enetc_pm_counters results in
redundant output.
Remove these standardized counters from enetc_pm_counters and rely on
the existing statistics interfaces to report them.
net: enetc: show RX drop counters only for assigned RX rings
For ENETC v1, each SI provides 16 RBDCR registers for RX ring drop
counters, but this does not imply that an SI actually owns 16 RX rings.
The ENETC hardware supports a total of 16 RX rings, which are assigned
to 3 SIs (1 PSI and 2 VSIs), so each SI is assigned fewer than 16 RX
rings.
The current implementation always reports 16 RX drop counters per SI,
leading to redundant output for SIs with fewer RX rings. Update the
logic to display drop counters only for the RX rings that are actually
assigned to the SI.
net: enetc: add support for the standardized counters
ENETC v4 provides 64-bit counters for IEEE 802.3 basic and mandatory
managed objects, the IETF Management Information Database (MIB) package
(RFC2665), and Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) statistics. In addition,
some ENETCs support preemption, so these ENETCs have two MACs: MAC 0 is
the express MAC (eMAC), MAC 1 is the preemptible MAC (pMAC). Both MACs
support these statistics.

net: phy: add support for disabling autonomous EEE
Some PHYs implement autonomous EEE where the PHY manages EEE
independently, preventing the MAC from controlling LPI signaling.
This conflicts with MACs that implement their own LPI control.
This series adds a .disable_autonomous_eee callback to struct phy_driver
and calls it from phy_support_eee(). When a MAC indicates it supports
EEE, the PHY's autonomous EEE is automatically disabled. The setting is
persisted across suspend/resume by re-applying it in phy_init_hw() after
soft reset, following the same pattern suggested by Russell King for PHY
tunables [1].
Patch 1 adds the phylib infrastructure.
Patch 2 implements it for Broadcom BCM54xx (AutogrEEEn).
Patch 3 converts the Realtek RTL8211F, which previously unconditionally
disabled PHY-mode EEE in config_init.
This came up while adding EEE support to the Cadence macb driver (used
on Raspberry Pi 5 with a BCM54210PE PHY). The PHY's AutogrEEEn mode
prevented the MAC from tracking LPI state. The Realtek RTL8211F has
the same pattern, unconditionally disabling PHY-mode EEE with the
comment "Disable PHY-mode EEE so LPI is passed to the MAC".
Other BCM54xx PHYs likely have the same AutogrEEEn register layout,
but I only have access to the BCM54210PE/BCM54213PE datasheets. It
would be appreciated if Florian or others could confirm which other
BCM54xx variants share this register so we can wire them up too.
Tested on Raspberry Pi CM4 (bcmgenet + BCM54210PE),
Raspberry Pi CM5 (Cadence GEM + BCM54210PE) and
Raspberry Pi 5 (Cadence GEM + BCM54213PE).
net: phy: realtek: convert RTL8211F to .disable_autonomous_eee
The RTL8211F previously unconditionally disabled PHY-mode EEE in
config_init. Convert this to use the new .disable_autonomous_eee
callback so it is only disabled when the MAC indicates EEE support
via phy_support_eee().
This preserves PHY-autonomous EEE for MACs that do not support EEE,
while still disabling it when the MAC manages LPI.
net: phy: add support for disabling PHY-autonomous EEE
Some PHYs (e.g. Broadcom BCM54xx, Realtek RTL8211F) implement
autonomous EEE where the PHY manages LPI signaling without forwarding
it to the MAC. This conflicts with MAC drivers that implement their own
LPI control.
Add a .disable_autonomous_eee callback to struct phy_driver and call it
from phy_support_eee(). When a MAC driver indicates it supports EEE via
phy_support_eee(), the PHY's autonomous EEE is automatically disabled so
the MAC can manage LPI entry/exit.

ynl/ethtool/netlink: fix nla_len overflow for large string sets
This series addresses a silent data corruption issue triggered when ynl
retrieves string sets from NICs with a large number of statistics entries
(e.g. mlx5_core with thousands of ETH_SS_STATS strings).
The root cause is that struct nlattr.nla_len is a __u16 (max 65535
bytes). When a NIC exports enough statistics strings, the
ETHTOOL_A_STRINGSET_STRINGS nest built by strset_fill_set() exceeds
this limit. nla_nest_end() silently truncates the length on assignment,
producing a corrupted netlink message.
Patch 1 moves ethtool.py to selftest.
Patch 2 improves the ethtool tool: rename the doit/dumpit helpers
to do_set/do_get and convert do_get to use ynl.do() with an
explicit device header instead of a full dump with client-side filtering.
Patch 3 adds a --dbg-small-recv option to the YNL ethtool tool,
matching the same option already present in cli.py, to help debug netlink
message size issues
Patch 4 adds a new helper nla_nest_end_safe() to check whether the nla_len
is overflow and return -EMSGSIZE early if so.
Patch 5 uses the new helper in ethtool to make sure the ethtool doesn't
reply a corrupted netlink message.

ethtool: strset: check nla_len overflow

====================
bng_en: add link management and statistics support
This series enhances the bng_en driver by adding:
1. Link/PHY support
a. Link query
b. Async Link events
c. Ethtool link set/get functionality
2. Hardware statistics reporting via ethtool -S
This version incorporates feedback received prior to splitting the
original series into two parts.
====================
Implement the legacy ethtool statistics interface (get_sset_count,
get_strings, get_ethtool_stats) to expose hardware counters not
available through standard kernel stats APIs.
Implement netdev_stat_ops to provide standardized per-queue
statistics via the Netlink API.
Below is the description of the hardware drop counters:
rx-hw-drop-overruns: Packets dropped by HW due to resource limitations
(e.g., no BDs available in the host ring).
rx-hw-drops: Total packets dropped by HW (sum of overruns and error
drops).
tx-hw-drop-errors: Packets dropped by HW because they were invalid or
malformed.
tx-hw-drops: Total packets dropped by HW (sum of resource limitations
and error drops).
The implementation was verified using the ynl tool:
Implement the ndo_get_stats64 callback to report aggregate network
statistics. The driver gathers these by accumulating the per-ring
counters into the provided rtnl_link_stats64 structure.
bng_en: periodically fetch and accumulate hardware statistics
Use the timer to schedule periodic stats collection via
the workqueue when the link is up. Fetch fresh counters from
hardware via DMA and accumulate them into 64-bit software
shadows, handling wrap-around for counters narrower than
64 bits.
bng_en: add HW stats infra and structured ethtool ops
Implement the hardware-level statistics foundation and modern structured
ethtool operations.
1. Infrastructure: Add HWRM firmware wrappers (FUNC_QSTATS_EXT,
PORT_QSTATS_EXT, and PORT_QSTATS) to query ring and port counters.
2. Structured ops: Implement .get_eth_phy_stats, .get_eth_mac_stats,
.get_eth_ctrl_stats, .get_pause_stats, and .get_rmon_stats.
Stats are initially reported as 0; accumulation logic is added
in a subsequent patch.
Register for firmware asynchronous events, including link-status,
link-speed, and PHY configuration changes. Upon event reception,
re-query the PHY and update ethtool settings accordingly.
Implement .get_pauseparam and .set_pauseparam to support flow control
configuration. This allows reporting and setting of autoneg, RX pause,
and TX pause states.
bng_en: add ethtool link settings, get_link, and nway_reset
Add get/set_link_ksettings, get_link, and nway_reset support.
Report supported, advertised, and link-partner speeds across NRZ,
PAM4, and PAM4-112 signaling modes. Enable lane count reporting.
bng_en: query PHY capabilities and report link status
Query PHY capabilities and supported speeds from firmware,
retrieve current link state (speed, duplex, pause, FEC),
and log the information. Seed initial link state during probe.
bng_en: add per-PF workqueue, timer, and slow-path task
Add a dedicated single-thread workqueue and a timer for each PF
to drive deferred slow-path work such as link event handling and
stats collection. The timer is stopped via timer_delete_sync()
when interrupts are disabled and restarted on open.
While the close path stops the timer to prevent new tasks from
being scheduled, the sp_task and workqueue are preserved to
maintain state continuity. Final draining and destruction of
the workqueue are handled during PCI remove.
====================
Add TSO map-once DMA helpers and bnxt SW USO support
Greetings:
This series extends net/tso to add a data structure and some helpers allowing
drivers to DMA map headers and packet payloads a single time. The helpers can
then be used to reference slices of shared mapping for each segment. This
helps to avoid the cost of repeated DMA mappings, especially on systems which
use an IOMMU. N per-packet DMA maps are replaced with a single map for the
entire GSO skb. As of v3, the series uses the DMA IOVA API (as suggested by
Leon [1]) and provides a fallback path when an IOMMU is not in use. The DMA
IOVA API provides even better efficiency than the v2; see below.
The added helpers are then used in bnxt to add support for software UDP
Segmentation Offloading (SW USO) for older bnxt devices which do not have
support for USO in hardware. Since the helpers are generic, other drivers
can be extended similarly.
The v2 showed a ~4x reduction in DMA mapping calls at the same wire packet
rate on production traffic with a bnxt device. The v3, however, shows a larger
reduction of about ~6x at the same wire packet rate. This is thanks to Leon's
suggestion of using the DMA IOVA API [1].
Special care is taken to make bnxt ethtool operations work correctly: the ring
size cannot be reduced below a minimum threshold while USO is enabled and
growing the ring automatically re-enables USO if it was previously blocked.
This v10 contains some cosmetic changes (wrapping long lines), moves the test
to the correct directory, and attempts to fix the slot availability check
added in the v9.
I re-ran the python test and the test passed on my bnxt system. I also ran
this on a production system.

net: tso: Introduce tso_dma_map and helpers
Add struct tso_dma_map to tso.h for tracking DMA addresses of mapped
GSO payload data and tso_dma_map_completion_state.
The tso_dma_map combines DMA mapping storage with iterator state, allowing
drivers to walk pre-mapped DMA regions linearly. Includes fields for
the DMA IOVA path (iova_state, iova_offset, total_len) and a fallback
per-region path (linear_dma, frags[], frag_idx, offset).
The tso_dma_map_completion_state makes the IOVA completion state opaque
for drivers. Drivers are expected to allocate this and use the added
helpers to update the completion state.
Adds skb_frag_phys() to skbuff.h, returning the physical address
of a paged fragment's data, which is used by the tso_dma_map helpers
introduced in this commit described below.
The added TSO DMA map helpers are:
tso_dma_map_init(): DMA-maps the linear payload region and all frags
upfront. Prefers the DMA IOVA API for a single contiguous mapping with
one IOTLB sync; falls back to per-region dma_map_phys() otherwise.
Returns 0 on success, cleans up partial mappings on failure.
tso_dma_map_cleanup(): Handles both IOVA and fallback teardown paths.
tso_dma_map_count(): counts how many descriptors the next N bytes of
payload will need. Returns 1 if IOVA is used since the mapping is
contiguous.
tso_dma_map_next(): yields the next (dma_addr, chunk_len) pair.
On the IOVA path, each segment is a single contiguous chunk. On the
fallback path, indicates when a chunk starts a new DMA mapping so the
driver can set dma_unmap_len on that descriptor for completion-time
unmapping.
tso_dma_map_completion_save(): updates the completion state. Drivers
will call this at xmit time.
tso_dma_map_complete(): tears down the mapping at completion time and
returns true if the IOVA path was used. If it was not used, this is a
no-op and returns false.

net: fix reference tracker mismanagement in netdev_put_lock()
dev_put() releases a reference which didn't have a tracker.
References without a tracker are accounted in the tracking
code as "no_tracker". We can't free the tracker and then
call dev_put(). The references themselves will be fine
but the tracking code will think it's a double-release:
refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.
IOW commit under fixes confused dev_put() (release never tracked
reference) with __dev_put() (just release the reference, skipping
the reference tracking infra).
Since __netdev_put_lock() uses dev_put() we can't feed a previously
tracked netdev ref into it. Let's flip things around.
netdev_put(dev, NULL) is the same as dev_put(dev) so make
netdev_put_lock() the real function and have __netdev_put_lock()
feed it a NULL tracker for all the cases that were untracked.

net: dsa: tag_rtl8_4: fixes doc and set keep
This small series addresses two points in the rtl8_4 tagger used by the
realtel rtl8365mb driver.
The first patch updates the documentation of the tag format while the
second patch sets the KEEP flag bit, ensuring that the switch
respects the frame's VLAN format as provided by the kernel.
These patches were previously part of a larger series but are being
submitted independently as they are self-contained and already
received review.
KEEP=1 is needed because we should respect the format of the packet as
the kernel sends it to us. Unless tx forward offloading is used, the
kernel is giving us the packet exactly as it should leave the specified
port on the wire. Until now this was not needed because the ports were
always functioning in a standalone mode in a VLAN-unaware way, so the
switch would not tag or untag frames anyway. But arguably it should have
been KEEP=1 all along.
Save the current mode of flow control, and enhance the statistics of
pause frames.
The received pause frames are divided into XON and XOFF to be counted.
And due to the hardware defect of SP devices, XON packets cannot be
trasmitted correctly, so Tx XON pause is disabled by default for those
devices.
The WX_PX_MPRC registers are not clear-on-read hardware counters. The
previous implementation directly read and accumulated these 32-bit values
into a 64-bit software counter. Now implement a rd32_wrap() helper
function to calculate the delta counter to correct the statistic.
net: wangxun: schedule hardware stats update in watchdog
Hardware statistics should be updated periodically in the watchdog to
prevent 32-bit registers from overflowing. This is also required for the
upcoming pause frame accounting logic, which relies on regular statistics
sampling.
net: wangxun: reorder timer and work sync cancellations
When removing the device, timer_delete_sync(&wx->service_timer) is

Move unregister_netdev() before cancel_work_sync(), and use

phase-aligns to the sync reference.
Patches 1-3 are preparatory cleanups and helper additions:
- Clean up esync get/set callbacks with early returns and use the
zl3073x_out_is_ndiv() helper
- Convert open-coded clear-and-set bitfield patterns to FIELD_MODIFY()
- Add ref sync control and output clock type accessor helpers
Patch 4 adds the 'ref-sync-sources' phandle-array property to the
dpll-pin device tree binding schema and updates the ZL3073x binding
examples.
Patch 5 implements the driver support:
- ref_sync_get/set callbacks with frequency validation
- Automatic sync source exclusion from reference selection
- Device tree based ref-sync pair registration
Tested and verified on Microchip EDS2 (pcb8385) development board.

net: dsa: mxl862xx: VLAN support and minor improvements
This series adds VLAN offloading to the mxl862xx DSA driver along
with two minor improvements to port setup and bridge configuration.
VLAN support uses a hybrid architecture combining the Extended VLAN
engine for PVID insertion and tag stripping with the VLAN Filter
engine for per-port VID membership, both drawing from shared
1024-entry hardware pools partitioned across user ports at probe time.

net: dsa: mxl862xx: implement VLAN functionality
Add VLAN support using both the Extended VLAN (EVLAN) engine and the
VLAN Filter (VF) engine in a hybrid architecture that allows a higher
number of VIDs than either engine could achieve alone.
The VLAN Filter engine handles per-port VID membership checks with
discard-unmatched semantics. The Extended VLAN engine handles PVID
insertion on ingress (via fixed catchall rules) and tag stripping on
egress (2 rules per untagged VID). Tagged-only VIDs need no EVLAN
egress rules at all, so they consume only a VF entry.
Both engines draw from shared 1024-entry hardware pools. The VF pool
is divided equally among user ports for VID membership, while the
EVLAN pool is partitioned into small fixed-size ingress blocks (7
entries of catchall rules per port) and fixed-size egress blocks for
tag stripping.
With 5 user ports this yields up to 204 VIDs per port (limited by VF),
of which up to 98 can be untagged (limited by EVLAN egress budget).
With 9 user ports the numbers are 113 total and 53 untagged.
Wire up .port_vlan_add, .port_vlan_del, and .port_vlan_filtering.
Reprogram all EVLAN rules when the PVID or filtering mode changes.
Detach blocks from the bridge port before freeing them on bridge leave
to satisfy the firmware's internal refcount.
Future optimizations could increase VID capacity by dynamically sizing
the egress EVLAN blocks based on actual per-port untagged VID counts
rather than worst-case pre-allocation, or by sharing EVLAN egress and
VLAN Filter blocks across ports with identical VID sets.

net: bridge: add stp_mode attribute for STP mode selection
The bridge-stp usermode helper is currently restricted to the initial
network namespace, preventing userspace STP daemons like mstpd from
operating on bridges in other namespaces. Since commit ff62198553e4
("bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network
namespace"), bridges in non-init namespaces silently fall back to
kernel STP with no way to request userspace STP.
This series adds a new IFLA_BR_STP_MODE bridge attribute that allows
explicit per-bridge control over STP mode selection. Three modes are
supported:
- auto (default): existing behavior, try /sbin/bridge-stp in
init_net, fall back to kernel STP otherwise
- user: directly enable BR_USER_STP without invoking the helper,
works in any network namespace
- kernel: directly enable BR_KERNEL_STP without invoking the helper
The user and kernel modes bypass call_usermodehelper() entirely,
addressing the security concerns discussed at [1]. Userspace is
responsible for ensuring an STP daemon manages the bridge, rather
than relying on the kernel to invoke /sbin/bridge-stp.
Patch 1 adds the kernel support. The mode can only be changed while
STP is disabled and is processed before IFLA_BR_STP_STATE in
br_changelink() so both can be set atomically in a single netlink
message.
Patch 2 adds documentation for the new attribute in the bridge docs.
Patch 3 adds a selftest with 9 test cases. The test requires iproute2
with IFLA_BR_STP_MODE support and can be run with virtme-ng:

1. stp_mode defaults to auto on new bridges
2. stp_mode can be toggled between user, kernel, and auto
3. Changing stp_mode while STP is active is rejected with -EBUSY
4. Re-setting the same stp_mode while STP is active succeeds
5. stp_mode user in a network namespace yields userspace STP (stp_state=2)
6. stp_mode kernel forces kernel STP (stp_state=1)
7. stp_mode auto in a netns preserves traditional fallback to kernel STP
8. stp_mode and stp_state can be set atomically in a single message
9. stp_mode persists across STP disable/enable cycles
Test 5 is the key use case: it demonstrates that userspace STP can now
be enabled in non-init network namespaces by setting stp_mode to user
before enabling STP.
Test 8 verifies the atomic usage pattern where both attributes are set
in a single netlink message, which is supported because br_changelink()
processes IFLA_BR_STP_MODE before IFLA_BR_STP_STATE.
The test gracefully skips if the installed iproute2 does not support
the stp_mode attribute.

same message that disables STP.
The stp_mode struct field is u8 since all possible values fit, while
NLA_U32 is used for the netlink attribute since it occupies the same
space in the netlink message as NLA_U8.
A new stp_helper_active boolean tracks whether the /sbin/bridge-stp
helper was invoked during br_stp_start(), so that br_stp_stop() only
calls the helper for stop when it was called for start. This avoids
calling the helper asymmetrically when stp_mode changes between
start and stop.
