ip6: vti: Use ip6_tnl.net in vti6_siocdevprivate().
After patch 1/2 in this series, vti6_update() unlinks and relinks
the tunnel through t->net. vti6_siocdevprivate() still uses
dev_net(dev) for the collision lookup. For a tunnel moved through
IFLA_NET_NS_FD, dev_net(dev) is the new netns, not t->net.
SIOCCHGTUNNEL on a migrated tunnel then runs:
net = dev_net(dev) /* migrated netns */
t = vti6_locate(net, &p1, false) /* misses target in t->net */
...
t = netdev_priv(dev)
vti6_update(t, &p1, false) /* mutates t->net's hash */
A caller in the migrated netns picks params that match a tunnel
in the creation netns. The lookup in dev_net(dev) finds nothing.
vti6_update() prepends the migrated tunnel at the head of the
creation netns hash bucket for those params. Later lookups in
the creation netns resolve to the migrated device. xfrm receive
delivers the matched packets through a device the caller controls.
Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace (unshare --user
--map-root-user --net). Cross tenant scope on container hosts.
Switch the SIOCCHGTUNNEL path on a non fallback device to use
t->net for the lookup. The lookup now matches the netns
vti6_update() operates on.
Also add ns_capable(self->net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN) before
the lookup. The check at the top of the case is against
dev_net(dev)->user_ns, which after migration is the attacker's
netns. A caller there can pick params absent from self->net,
the lookup returns NULL, t becomes self, and vti6_update()
inserts the device into the creation netns hash. The new check
requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the creation netns user_ns too.
SIOCADDTUNNEL and SIOCCHGTUNNEL on the fallback device keep
dev_net(dev), which equals init_net there.

net: team: fix NULL pointer dereference in team_xmit during mode change
__team_change_mode() clears team->ops with memset() before restoring
safe dummy handlers via team_adjust_ops(). A concurrent team_xmit()
running under RCU on another CPU can read team->ops.transmit during
this window and call a NULL function pointer, crashing the kernel.
The race requires a mode change (CAP_NET_ADMIN) concurrent with
transmit on the team device.
The original code assumed that no ports means no traffic, so mode
changes could freely memset()/memcpy() the ops. AF_PACKET with
forced carrier breaks that assumption.
Prevent the race instead of making it safe: replace memset()/memcpy()
with per-field updates that never touch transmit or receive. Those
two handlers are managed solely by team_adjust_ops(), which already
installs dummies when tx_en_port_count == 0 (always true during mode
change since no ports are present). WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE prevent
store/load tearing on the handler pointers.
synchronize_net() before exit_op() drains in-flight readers that may
still reference old mode state from before port removal switched the
handlers to dummies.

rvu_mbox_handler_rep_event_notify() in drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/
octeontx2/af/rvu_rep.c queues a sender-controlled REP_EVENT_NOTIFY
request body verbatim, and rvu_rep_up_notify() then forwards
event->pcifunc (the nested body field, distinct from the
AF-normalised header pcifunc) into rvu_get_pfvf(), rvu_get_pf() and
the AF->PF mailbox device index without any bounds check.
A VF attached to a PF that has been put into switchdev
representor mode reaches this path: the VF mailbox handler
otx2_pfvf_mbox_handler() forwards every message id including
MBOX_MSG_REP_EVENT_NOTIFY to AF without an allowlist, and the AF
dispatcher rewrites only msg->pcifunc, leaving struct
rep_event::pcifunc attacker-controlled. The sibling
rvu_mbox_handler_esw_cfg() refuses requests whose header pcifunc
is not rvu->rep_pcifunc; this handler has no equivalent gate.
An out-of-range body pcifunc selects an &rvu->pf[]/&rvu->hwvf[]
element past the allocated array and, for RVU_EVENT_MAC_ADDR_CHANGE,
turns into a six-byte attacker-chosen OOB ether_addr_copy() target
inside the queued worker; KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds write
in rvu_rep_wq_handler.
Reject malformed requests at the handler entry by gating on
is_pf_func_valid(), which is already the canonical PF/VF range check

More details in the patches. They change user-visible behavior, but
the current behavior is arguably a bug, as it makes it hard to use

tracking when new NSIDs are allocated for your local namespace.
Tests are added to check the expected behavior and YNL is extended

net: netlink: don't set nsid on local notifications
In most cases, notifications on sockets with NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID
do not contain NSID in their ancillary data in case the event is local
to the listener.
However, when a self-referential NSID is allocated for a namespace,
every local notification starts sending this ID to the user space.
This is problematic, because the listener cannot tell if those
notifications are local or not anymore without making extra requests
to figure out if the provided NSID is local or not. The listener
can also not figure out the local NSID beforehand as it can be
allocated at any point in time by other processes, changing the
structure of the future notifications for everyone.
The value is practically not useful, since it's the namespace's own
ID that the application has to obtain from other sources in order to
figure out if it's the same or not. So, for the application it's
just an extra busy work with no benefits. Moreover, applications
that do not know about this quirk may be mishandling notifications
with NSID set as notifications from remote namespaces. This is the
case for ovs-vswitchd and the iproute2's 'ip monitor' that stops
printing 'current' and starts printing the nsid number mid-session.
Lack of clear documentation for this behavior is also not helping.
A search though open-source projects doesn't reveal any projects
that use NETNSA_NSID_NOT_ASSIGNED and rely on metadata to contain
self-referential NSIDs (expected, since the value is not useful).
Quite the opposite, as already mentioned, there are few applications
that rely on NSID to not be present in local events.
Since the value is not useful and actively harmful in some cases,
let's not report it for local events, making the notifications more
consistent.
Also adding some blank lines for readability.

netfilter: ebtables: fix OOB read in compat_mtw_from_user
Luxiao Xu says:
The function compat_mtw_from_user() converts ebtables extensions from
32-bit user structures to kernel native structures. However, it lacks
proper validation of the user-supplied match_size/target_size.
When certain extensions are processed, the kernel-side translation
logic may perform memory accesses based on the extension's expected
size. If the user provides a size smaller than what the extension
requires, it results in an out-of-bounds read as reported by KASAN.
This fix introduces a check to ensure match_size is at least as large
as the extension's required compatsize. This covers matches, watchers,
and targets, while maintaining compatibility with standard targets.
AFAIU this is relevant for matches that need to go though
match->compat_from_user() call. Those that use plain memcpy with the
user-provided size are ok because the caller checks that size vs the
start of the next rule entry offset (which itself is checked vs. total
size copied from userspace).
The ->compat_from_user() callbacks assume they can read compatsize bytes,
so they need this extra check.
Based on an earlier patch from Luxiao Xu.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_gre: fix gre keymap list corruption
Quoting reporter:
A race between GRE keymap insertion and destruction can corrupt the
kernel list or use a freed object. `nf_ct_gre_keymap_add()` publishes a
new keymap pointer before the embedded `list_head` is linked, while
`nf_ct_gre_keymap_destroy()` can concurrently delete and free that
same object. An unprivileged user can reach this through the PPTP
conntrack helper by racing PPTP control messages or helper teardown,
leading to KASAN-detectable list corruption/UAF in kernel context.
## Root Cause Analysis
`exp_gre()` installs GRE expectations for a PPTP control flow and then
adds two GRE keymap entries [..]
The add path publishes `ct_pptp_info->keymap[dir]` before linking the
embedded list node [..]
Concurrent teardown deletes that partially initialized object.
Make add/destroy symmetric: install both, destroy both while under lock.
Furthermore, we should refuse to publish a new mapping in case ct is going
away, else we may leak the allocation.
The "retrans" detection is strange: existing mapping is checked for key
equality with the new mapping, then for "is on the list" via list walk.
But I can't see how an existing keymap entry can be NOT on list.
Change this to only check if we're asked to map same tuple again -- if so,
skip re-install, else signal failure.
Last, add a bug trap for the keymap list; it has to be empty when namespace
is going away.

synproxy_tstamp_adjust() rewrites the TCP timestamp option in place

ipv6_synproxy_hook() obtain that pointer with skb_header_pointer()

The option bytes are written through skb->data and are fine; only
the checksum update goes through th and so lands in the wrong
place. The result is either a write into freed slab memory or a
packet leaving with a checksum that does not match its payload.
Fix by re-deriving th from skb->data + protoff immediately after
skb_ensure_writable() succeeds, so the subsequent checksum update
targets the linear, writable header.

netfilter: conntrack: tcp: do not force CLOSE on invalid-seq RST without direction check
An unintended behavior in the TCP conntrack state machine allows a
connection to be forced into the CLOSE state using an RST packet with an
invalid sequence number.
Specifically, after a SYN packet is observed, an RST with an invalid SEQ
can transition the conntrack entry to TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE, regardless of
whether the RST corresponds to the expected reply direction. The relevant
code path assumes the RST is a response to an outgoing SYN, but does not
validate packet direction or ensure that a matching SYN was actually sent
in the opposite direction.
As a result, a crafted packet sequence consisting of a SYN followed by an
invalid-sequence RST can prematurely terminate an active NAT entry. This
makes connection teardown easier than intended.
So, tighten the state transition logic to ensure that RST-triggered
CLOSE transitions only occur when the RST is a valid response to a
previously observed SYN in the correct direction.

- Fix reporting MISSED EVENTS in trace iterator
When the "trace" file is read with tracing enabled, if the writer
were to pass the iterator reader, it resets, sets a "missed_events"
flag and continues. The tracing output checks for missed events and
if there are some, it prints out "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user know
events were dropped.
But the clearing of the missed_events happened when the tracing
system queried the ring buffer iterator about missed events. This was
premature as the ring buffer is per CPU, and the tracing code reads
all the CPU buffers and checks for missed events when it is read. If
the CPU iterator that had missed events isn't printed next, the
output for the LOST EVENTS is lost.
Clear the missed_events flag when the iterator moves to the next
event and not when the missed_events flag is queried. Also clear it
on reset.
- Flush and stop the persistent ring buffer on panic
On panic the persistent ring buffer is used to debug what caused the
panic. But on some architectures, it requires flushing the memory
from cache, otherwise, the ring buffer persistent memory may not have
the last events and this could also cause the ring buffer to be
corrupted on the next boot.
- Fix nr_subbufs initialization in simple_ring_buffer_init_mm
The remote simple ring buffer meta data nr_subbufs is initialized too
early and gets cleared later on, making it zero and not reflect the
actual number of sub-buffers.

net: enetc: SR-IOV robustness and security fixes
This patch series addresses a number of robustness, security, and
correctness issues in the ENETC driver's SR-IOV subsystem, focusing
primarily on the VF-to-PF mailbox communication path.
The series can be grouped into the following categories:
1. DoS and security fixes:
- Prevent an unbounded loop DoS in the VF-to-PF message handler,
which could be triggered by a malicious or misbehaving VF.
- Fix a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use) race and add proper
validation of VF MAC addresses to prevent spoofing or invalid
configuration from being applied.
2. Race condition fixes:
- Fix a race condition in VF MAC address configuration that could
lead to inconsistent state between the VF request and PF
application.
- Fix a race condition during SR-IOV teardown that could cause
VF->PF mailbox operations to time out, resulting in unnecessary
errors during shutdown.
3. Memory safety fixes:
- Fix a DMA write to freed memory in enetc_msg_free_mbx(), which
could cause silent memory corruption or system instability.
4. Error handling and initialization fixes:
- Fix missing error code propagation when pf->vf_state allocation
fails, ensuring callers receive a proper errno instead of
succeeding silently.
- Fix incorrect mailbox message status values returned to VFs,
which could cause VFs to misinterpret PF responses.
- Fix initialization order to prevent the use of uninitialized
resources during driver probe, which could cause undefined
behavior on certain configurations.
5. Diagnostics improvement:
- Add rate limiting to VF mailbox error messages to prevent log
flooding in the presence of a misbehaving VF.
These fixes improve the overall stability and security of the ENETC
SR-IOV implementation, particularly in multi-tenant environments where
VFs may be assigned to untrusted guests.

net: enetc: avoid VF->PF mailbox timeout during SR-IOV teardown
During SR-IOV teardown, enetc_msg_psi_free() disables the MR interrupt
before pci_disable_sriov() removes the VFs. If a VF sends a mailbox
message during this window, the PF cannot receive it, causing the VF to
timeout waiting for a reply.
Since the timeout occurs during SR-IOV teardown when the VF is about to
be removed anyway, it has no functional impact on operation. However,
more messages will be added in the future, some visible error logs may
confuse users. So fix it by calling pci_disable_sriov() first to remove
all VFs, then safely clean up the mailbox resources. This eliminates the
race window where VFs could send messages to an unresponsive PF.
This ordering is unsafe because if a spurious interrupt or pending
interrupt from a previous device state fires immediately after
request_irq() returns, the registered ISR enetc_msg_psi_msix() will
execute and unconditionally call:
schedule_work(&pf->msg_task)
At this point, pf->msg_task has not been initialized by INIT_WORK(), so
the work_struct contains garbage values in its internal linked list
pointers (work_struct->entry). Passing an uninitialized work_struct to
schedule_work() could corrupt the kernel's workqueue linked lists,
potentially leading to:
- Kernel panic in __queue_work()
- Memory corruption in workqueue data structures
- System deadlock or undefined behavior
Additionally, even if the work_struct was initialized, the mailbox DMA
buffers (pf->rxmsg[]) may not yet be allocated when the work handler
enetc_msg_task() runs, resulting in NULL pointer dereference.
Fix by reordering the initialization sequence to ensure all resources are
properly initialized before the interrupt handler can execute:
1. enetc_msg_alloc_mbx() <- Allocate all mailboxes
2. INIT_WORK(&pf->msg_task, ...) <- Initialize work first
3. request_irq(enetc_msg_psi_msix) <- Register IRQ last
4. Configure hardware & enable MR interrupts
This guarantees that when enetc_msg_psi_msix() runs:
- pf->msg_task is properly initialized (safe for schedule_work)
- pf->rxmsg[] buffers are allocated (safe for work handler access)
- Hardware is configured appropriately
As the inverse of enetc_msg_psi_init(), enetc_msg_psi_free() also has
similar problems. For example, if a pending interrupt fires between
enetc_msg_free_mbx() and free_irq(), the ISR enetc_msg_psi_msix() may
schedule the work handler again via schedule_work(), which could then
access already-freed DMA buffers (pf->rxmsg[]), leading to use-after-free
and potential memory corruption.
Therefore, the order of enetc_msg_psi_free() is adjusted:
1. enetc_msg_disable_mr_int() <- Stop new interrupts first
2. free_irq() <- Ensure no IRQ handler can run
3. cancel_work_sync() <- Wait for any pending work
4. enetc_msg_disable_mr_int() <- Re-disable in case work
re-enabled it
5. enetc_msg_free_mbx() <- Safe to free DMA buffers now

net: enetc: fix unbounded loop and interrupt handling in VF-to-PF messaging
The enetc_msg_task() function has several issues that need to be addressed:
1. Unbounded loop causing potential DoS:
enetc_msg_task() processes VF-to-PF mailbox messages in an unbounded
for(;;) loop that keeps polling ENETC_PSIMSGRR until no MR bits are set.
A malicious guest VM can exploit this by continuously sending messages at
a high rate - immediately sending a new message as soon as the PF
acknowledges the previous one. Since the worker thread never yields or
enforces a processing budget, the mr_mask check frequently evaluates to
non-zero, causing the PF to spin indefinitely and starving other tasks.
Fix this by replacing the unbounded loop with a single snapshot read at
task entry. The task processes only the VFs whose MR bits were set at
that point, then re-enables message interrupts before returning. This
bounds work per invocation to at most num_vfs iterations. No messages are
lost because the message interrupt is disabled in enetc_msg_psi_msix()
before scheduling enetc_msg_task(), so any new messages arriving during
processing will trigger a fresh interrupt once re-enabled, scheduling
another task invocation.
2. Write order of ENETC_PSIIDR and ENETC_PSIMSGRR:
Both ENETC_PSIIDR and ENETC_PSIMSGRR contain MR bits indicating messages
have been received from VSIs, but only ENETC_PSIIDR trigger the CPU
interrupt. Previously, ENETC_PSIMSGRR was written before ENETC_PSIIDR.
Writing ENETC_PSIMSGRR returns the message code to the VSI in its upper
16 bits, signaling to the VF that message processing is complete and it
may send the next message. If the VF sends a new message before
ENETC_PSIIDR is written, the subsequent w1c write to ENETC_PSIIDR would
inadvertently clear the MR bit set by the new message, causing the
interrupt to be lost and the new message to go unprocessed.
Therefore, write ENETC_PSIIDR first to clear the interrupt source, then
write ENETC_PSIMSGRR to acknowledge the message to the VSI.
3. Check both ENETC_PSIMSGRR and ENETC_PSIIDR for mr_status:
The write order change above introduces a potential race: if a VF sends
a new message in the window between the ENETC_PSIIDR w1c and the
ENETC_PSIMSGRR w1c, the ENETC_PSIMSGRR MR bit for the new message may
not be set. If mr_status was derived solely from ENETC_PSIMSGRR, this
message would never be detected despite ENETC_PSIIDR retaining its MR
bit, leading to an unacknowledged interrupt storm.
Fix this by computing mr_status as the union of both ENETC_PSIMSGRR and
ENETC_PSIIDR MR bits, ensuring all pending messages are detected
regardless of which register reflects the new message state.
Additionally, rename the per-register MR macros (ENETC_PSI*_MR_MASK,
ENETC_PSI*_MR) to register-agnostic names (ENETC_PSIMR_MASK,
ENETC_PSIMR_BIT) since the MR bit layout is shared across ENETC_PSIMSGRR,
ENETC_PSIIER, and ENETC_PSIIDR. Make the mask macro dynamic based on
the actual number of active VFs rather than hardcoded.

The teardown sequence in enetc_msg_psi_free() frees the DMA buffer before

perform a DMA write into the kernel memory that has already been returned

The result is silent memory corruption that can affect arbitrary kernel

net: enetc: fix race condition in VF MAC address configuration
Sashiko reported a potential race condition between the VF message
handler and administrative VF MAC configuration from the host [1].
The VF message handler (enetc_msg_pf_set_vf_primary_mac_addr) runs
asynchronously in a workqueue context and accesses vf_state->flags
without any locking. Concurrently, the host can administratively
change the VF MAC address via enetc_pf_set_vf_mac(), which executes
under RTNL lock and modifies both vf_state->flags and hardware
registers.
This creates two race windows:
1) TOCTOU race on vf_state->flags: The check of ENETC_VF_FLAG_PF_SET_MAC
and subsequent MAC programming are not atomic, allowing the flag state
to change between check and use.
2) Torn MAC address writes: Hardware MAC programming requires multiple
non-atomic register writes (__raw_writel for lower 32 bits and
__raw_writew for upper 16 bits). Concurrent updates from VF mailbox
and PF admin paths can interleave these operations, resulting in a
corrupted MAC address being programmed into the hardware.
Fix by introducing a per-VF mutex to serialize access to vf_state and
hardware MAC register updates. Both enetc_pf_set_vf_mac() and
enetc_msg_pf_set_vf_primary_mac_addr() now acquire this lock before
accessing vf_state->flags or programming the MAC address, ensuring
atomic read-modify-write sequences and preventing register write
interleaving.

net: enetc: fix TOCTOU race and validate VF MAC address
Sashiko reported that the PF driver accepts arbitrary MAC address from
from VF mailbox messages without proper validation, creating a security
vulnerability [1].
In enetc_msg_pf_set_vf_primary_mac_addr(), the MAC address is extracted
directly from the message buffer (cmd->mac.sa_data) and programmed into
hardware via pf->ops->set_si_primary_mac() without any validity checks.
A malicious VF can configure a multicast, broadcast, or all-zero MAC
address. Therefore, a validation to check the MAC address provided by VF
is required.
However, simply checking the MAC address is not enough, because it also
has the potential TOCTOU race [2]: The code reads the MAC address from
the DMA buffer to validate it via is_valid_ether_addr(), if validation
passes, reads the same DMA buffer a second time when calling
enetc_pf_set_primary_mac_addr() to program the hardware. A malicious VF
can exploit this window by overwriting the MAC address in the DMA buffer
between the validation check and the hardware programming, bypassing the
validation entirely.
Therefore, allocate a local buffer in enetc_msg_handle_rxmsg() and copy
the message content from the DMA buffer via memcpy() before processing.
This ensures the PF operates on a stable snapshot that the VF cannot
modify.

An unprivileged local user can pin a host CPU indefinitely in
l2tp_session_get_by_ifname() by issuing L2TP_CMD_SESSION_GET on
L2TP_ATTR_IFNAME concurrently with L2TP_CMD_SESSION_CREATE and
L2TP_CMD_SESSION_DELETE on the same tunnel. All three commands take
GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, so CAP_NET_ADMIN in the netns user namespace
suffices; on any host that has l2tp_core loaded the trigger is
reachable from a standard `unshare -Urn` sandbox.
l2tp_session_unhash() removes a session from tunnel->session_list
with list_del_init(), but that list is walked by
l2tp_session_get_by_ifname() with list_for_each_entry_rcu() under
rcu_read_lock_bh(). list_del_init() leaves the deleted entry's
next/prev self-pointing; a reader that has loaded the entry and
then advances pos->list.next reads &session->list, container_of()s
back to the same session, and list_for_each_entry_rcu() never
reaches the list head. The CPU stays in strcmp() inside the
walker, with BH and preemption disabled, so RCU grace periods on
the host stall behind it and the wedged thread cannot be killed
(SIGKILL is delivered on syscall return).
Use list_del_rcu() to match the existing list_add_rcu() in
l2tp_session_register(); the deleted session remains visible to
in-flight walkers with consistent next/prev pointers until
kfree_rcu() in l2tp_session_free() releases it. tunnel->session_list
has exactly one list_del_init() call site; the list_del_init
(&session->clist) at l2tp_core.c:533 operates on the per-collision
list, which is not walked under RCU. list_empty(&session->list) is
not used anywhere in net/l2tp/ after the unhash point, so dropping
the post-delete self-init is safe; the fix has no userspace-visible
behavior change.

net: bcmgenet: keep RBUF EEE/PM disabled
Setting RBUF_EEE_EN | RBUF_PM_EN in RBUF_ENERGY_CTRL breaks the RX
path on GENET hardware once MAC EEE becomes active. RX traffic stops
flowing while the link stays up and the usual descriptor/RX error
counters remain quiet. In that state the MAC still accepts frames
(rbuf_ovflow_cnt keeps climbing) but RBUF no longer forwards them to
DMA, so rx_packets is no longer incremented at the netdev level. On
some boards the corruption ends up as a paging fault in
skb_release_data via bcmgenet_rx_poll on an LPI exit.
Reproduced on Pi 4B (BCM2711 + BCM54213PE) and confirmed by Florian
Fainelli on an internal Broadcom 4908-family board with the same crash
signature. RBUF_PM_EN is not publicly documented.
This shows up more often now that phy_support_eee() enables EEE by
default, but it also affects older kernels as soon as TX LPI is
turned on via ethtool, so it is not specific to recent changes.
Always clear RBUF_EEE_EN | RBUF_PM_EN in bcmgenet_eee_enable_set so
the bits stay off across resets. UMAC and TBUF setup is left alone so
TX-side EEE keeps working.

ethernet: 3c509: Bring driver back and make some fixes
As per the previous discussions[1][2] this patch series brings the 3c509
driver back. Picking up net rather than net-next as I consider it a fix
to accidental removal and so that any downstream users do not suffer from
disruption when using released kernels.
In the course of making the coding style changes requested I have come
across an actual bug in transceiver type selection code, where the old
setting is not masked out before ORing in the new one, causing no change
to be actually made in a requested transition from BNC to AUI. I guess
this code must have been executed exceedingly rarely, as it's always been
wrong ever since it was added in 2.5.42 back in 2002.
Therefore I find it not worth backporting to stable branches, however for
the sake of appropriateness, in case someone downstream does want to have
the fix, I chose to apply it second in the series, right after the actual
revert and before code clean-ups.
The remaining patches of the series should be obvious; see the respective
commit descriptions for details.

====================
Update the driver for our current coding style according to output from
`checkpatch.pl' and manual code review, where no change to binary code
results, as indicated by `objdump -dr'. Exceptions are as follows:
- incomplete reverse xmas tree in set_multicast_list(), as that would
change binary output,
- referring el3_start_xmit() verbatim rather than via `__func__' with
pr_debug(), likewise,
- a bunch of pr_cont() calls, likewise,
- a long udelay() call in el3_netdev_set_ecmd() made under a spinlock,
likewise plus it's not eligible for conversion to a sleep in the first
place,
- a blank line at the start of a block in el3_interrupt(), to improve
readability where the first statement would otherwise visually merge
with the controlling expression of the enclosing `while' statement.
These issues are benign and depending on circumstances may be adressed
with suitable code refactoring later on.
ethernet: 3c509: Update documentation to match MAINTAINERS
There has been apparently a single message only ever publicly posted by

others, and MAINTAINERS was never updated accordingly. It is therefore
doubtful that his maintainer status has actually come into effect. Just
replace the reference then so as not to confuse people.
This driver has landed with Linux 0.99.13k, which was covered by the GNU
General Public License version 2, and no further conditions as to
licensing terms have been specified within the copyright notice included

The transceiver type is held in bits 15:14 of the Address Configuration

BNC types respectively. Therefore switching from BNC to AUI requires
bits to be cleared before setting bit 14 or the setting won't change.

ipv6: ioam: refresh hdr pointer before ioam6_event()
Reported by Sashiko:
In ipv6_hop_ioam(), the hdr pointer is initialized to point into the
skb's linear data buffer. Later, the code calls skb_ensure_writable(),
which might reallocate the buffer:
if (skb_ensure_writable(skb, optoff + 2 + hdr->opt_len))
goto drop;
/* Trace pointer may have changed */
trace = (struct ioam6_trace_hdr *)(skb_network_header(skb)
+ optoff + sizeof(*hdr));
If the skb is cloned or lacks sufficient linear headroom,
skb_ensure_writable() will invoke pskb_expand_head(), which reallocates
the skb's data buffer and frees the old one, invalidating pointers to
it. While the code recalculates the trace pointer immediately after the
call to skb_ensure_writable(), it fails to recalculate the hdr pointer.
This patch fixes the above by recalculating the hdr pointer before
passing hdr->opt_len to ioam6_event(), so that we avoid any UaF.

netpoll: normalize skb->dev to the netpoll device
__netpoll_send_skb() always transmits through np->dev and queues busy
packets on np->dev->npinfo->txq, but it leaves skb->dev unchanged.
Stacked callers such as DSA and macvlan can reach netpoll with skb->dev
still naming the upper device while np->dev is the lower device that
owns the netpoll state.
If the skb has to be deferred, queue_process() later dequeues it from
the lower device's txq but retries it through skb->dev. That can
re-enter the upper ndo_start_xmit path on an already transformed skb,
and if the upper device disappears before the lower txq drains the
workqueue can dereference a stale skb->dev pointer.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
path A label: netpoll enqueue path path B label: upper-device teardown
1. Stacked xmit calls netpoll 1. Teardown unregisters the upper
with lower np->dev and upper net_device while lower npinfo
skb->dev. stays alive.
2. __netpoll_send_skb() uses 2. netdev_release() runs for the
np->dev->npinfo as the txq upper net_device.

3. Busy transmit queues the skb 3. The lower txq still owns the

4. queue_process() drains the 4. queue_process() dereferences

Normalize skb->dev to np->dev after loading np->dev from the netpoll
instance, before either the direct transmit path or the fallback enqueue.
This keeps the queued skb in the same device and txq domain as the
netpoll state that owns it.

phonet/pep: disable BH around forwarded sk_receive_skb()
The networking receive path is usually run from softirq context, but
protocols that take the socket lock may have packets stored in the
backlog and processed later from process context. In that case
release_sock() -> __release_sock() drops the slock with spin_unlock_bh()
and then calls sk->sk_backlog_rcv() with bottom halves enabled.
Typical sk_backlog_rcv handlers process the socket whose backlog is
being drained, so the BH state at entry is irrelevant for the slocks
they touch. pep_do_rcv() is different: when the inbound skb targets an
existing PEP pipe, it forwards the skb to a different *child* socket
via sk_receive_skb(). That helper takes the child slock with
bh_lock_sock_nested(), which is just spin_lock_nested() and assumes BH
is already off. The same child slock therefore ends up acquired with
BH on (process path) and with BH off (softirq path):
Lockdep flags this as inconsistent lock state, and it can become a real
self-deadlock if a softirq on the same CPU tries to receive to the same
child socket while its slock is held in the BH-enabled path:
Wrap the forwarded sk_receive_skb() in local_bh_disable() /
local_bh_enable() so the child slock is always acquired with BH off.
local_bh_disable() nests safely on the softirq path.

ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.
To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

ring-buffer: Fix reporting of missed events in iterator
When tracing is active while reading the trace file, if the iterator
reading the buffer detects that the writer has passed the iterator head,
it will reset and set a "missed events" flag. This flag is passed to the
output processing to show the user that events were missed:
CPU:4 [LOST EVENTS]
The problem is that the flag is reset after it is checked in
ring_buffer_iter_dropped(). But the "trace" file iterates over all the CPU
ring buffers and it will check if they are dropped when figuring out which
buffer to print next. This prematurely clears the missed_events flag if
the CPU buffer with the missed events is not the one that is printed next.
On the iteration where the CPU buffer with the missed events is printed,
the check if it had missed events would return false and the output does
not show that events were missed.
Do not reset the missed_events flag when checking if there were missed
events, but instead clear it when moving the iterator head to the next
event.
====================
vsock/virtio: fix skb overhead accounting to preserve full buf_alloc
Patch 1 resets the connection when we can no longer queue packets,
this prevents silent data loss, and both peers are notified.
Patch 2 increases the total budget to `buf_alloc * 2` for payload
plus skb overhead similar to how SO_RCVBUF is doubled to reserve
space for sk_buff metadata. This preserves the full buf_alloc for
payload under normal operation, while still bounding the skb queue
growth.
In the future, we plan to improve how we handle the merging of packets
to minimize overhead and avoid closing connections.
vsock/virtio: fix skb overhead accounting to preserve full buf_alloc
After commit 059b7dbd20a6 ("vsock/virtio: fix potential unbounded skb
queue"), virtio_transport_inc_rx_pkt() subtracts per-skb overhead from
buf_alloc when checking whether a new packet fits. This reduces the
effective receive buffer below what the user configured via
SO_VM_SOCKETS_BUFFER_SIZE, causing legitimate data packets to be
silently dropped and applications that rely on the full buffer size
to deadlock.
Also, the reduced space is not communicated to the remote peer, so
its credit calculation accounts more credit than the receiver will
actually accept, causing data loss (there is no retransmission).
With this approach we currently have failures in
tools/testing/vsock/vsock_test.c. Test 18 sometimes fails, while
test 22 always fails in this way:
18 - SOCK_STREAM MSG_ZEROCOPY...hash mismatch
Fix by allowing at most `buf_alloc * 2` as the total budget for payload
plus skb overhead in virtio_transport_inc_rx_pkt(), similar to how
SO_RCVBUF is doubled to reserve space for sk_buff metadata.
This preserves the full buf_alloc for payload under normal operation,
while still bounding the skb queue growth.
With this patch, all tests in tools/testing/vsock/vsock_test.c are
now passing again.
vsock/virtio: reset connection on receiving queue overflow
When there is no more space to queue an incoming packet, the packet is
silently dropped. This causes data loss without any notification to
either peer, since there is no retransmission.
Under normal circumstances, this should never happen. However, it could
happen if the other peer doesn't respect the credit, or if the skb
overhead, which we recently began to take into account with commit 059b7dbd20a6 ("vsock/virtio: fix potential unbounded skb queue"),
is too high.
Fix this by resetting the connection and setting the local socket error
to ENOBUFS when virtio_transport_recv_enqueue() can no longer queue a
packet, so both peers are explicitly notified of the failure rather than
silently losing data.

net: stmmac: eswin: clear TXD and RXD delay registers during initialization
Clear the TXD and RXD delay control registers during EIC7700 DWMAC

These registers may retain values programmed by the bootloader. If left
unchanged, residual delays can alter the effective RGMII timing seen by
the MAC and override the configuration described by the device tree.
This may violate the expected RGMII timing model and can cause link
instability or prevent the Ethernet controller from operating correctly.
Explicitly clearing these registers ensures that the MAC delay settings
are determined solely by the kernel configuration.
The corresponding register offsets are optional, and the registers are
only cleared when the offsets are provided in the device tree.
Fix the initialization ordering of the HSP CSR configuration in the
EIC7700 DWMAC glue driver.
The HSP CSR registers control MAC-side RGMII delay behavior and must
only be accessed after the corresponding clocks are enabled. The
previous implementation could trigger register access before clock
enablement, leading to undefined behavior depending on boot state.
Move the HSP CSR configuration into the post-clock-enable initialization
path to ensure all register accesses occur under valid clock domains.
This change ensures deterministic initialization and prevents
clock-dependent register access failures during probe or resume.
Document two optional cells in eswin,hsp-sp-csr for the TXD and RXD

These registers are used by the driver to clear any residual delay
configuration left by the bootloader, ensuring that MAC-side RGMII delay

net: skbuff: propagate shared-frag marker through frag-transfer helpers
Two frag-transfer helpers (__pskb_copy_fclone() and skb_shift()) fail
to propagate the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG bit in skb_shinfo()->flags when
moving frags from source to destination. __pskb_copy_fclone() defers
the rest of the shinfo metadata to skb_copy_header() after copying
frag descriptors, but that helper only carries over gso_{size,segs,
type} and never touches skb_shinfo()->flags; skb_shift() moves frag
descriptors directly and leaves flags untouched. As a result, the
destination skb keeps a reference to the same externally-owned or
page-cache-backed pages while reporting skb_has_shared_frag() as
false.
The mismatch is harmful in any in-place writer that uses
skb_has_shared_frag() to decide whether shared pages must be detoured
through skb_cow_data(). ESP input is one such writer (esp4.c,
esp6.c), and a single nft 'dup to <local>' rule -- or any other
nf_dup_ipv4() / xt_TEE caller -- is enough to land a pskb_copy()'d
skb in esp_input() with the marker stripped, letting an unprivileged
user write into the page cache of a root-owned read-only file via
authencesn-ESN stray writes.
Set SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG on the destination whenever frag descriptors
were actually moved from the source. skb_copy() and skb_copy_expand()
share skb_copy_header() too but linearize all paged data into freshly
allocated head storage and emerge with nr_frags == 0, so
skb_has_shared_frag() returns false on its own; they need no change.
The same omission exists in skb_gro_receive() and skb_gro_receive_list().
The former moves the incoming skb's frag descriptors into the
accumulator's last sub-skb via two paths (a direct frag-move loop and
the head_frag + memcpy path); the latter chains the incoming skb whole
onto p's frag_list. Downstream skb_segment() reads only
skb_shinfo(p)->flags, and skb_segment_list() reuses each sub-skb's
shinfo as the nskb -- both p and lp must carry the marker.
The same omission also exists in tcp_clone_payload(), which builds an
MTU probe skb by moving frag descriptors from skbs on sk_write_queue
into a freshly allocated nskb. The helper falls into the same family
and warrants the same fix for consistency; no TCP TX-side in-place
writer is currently known to reach a user page through this gap, but
a future consumer depending on the marker would regress silently.
The same omission exists in skb_segment(): the per-iteration flag
merge takes only head_skb's flag, and the inner switch that rebinds
frag_skb to list_skb on head_skb-frags exhaustion does not fold the
new frag_skb's flag into nskb. Fold frag_skb's flag at both sites
so segments drawing frags from frag_list members carry the marker.

tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction
Blamed commit moved the TIME_WAIT-derived ISN from the skb control
block to a per-CPU variable, assuming the value would always be consumed
by tcp_conn_request() for the same packet that wrote it. That assumption
is violated by multiple drop paths between the producer
(__this_cpu_write(tcp_tw_isn, isn) in tcp_v{4,6}_rcv()) and the consumer
(tcp_conn_request()):
- min_ttl / min_hopcount check
- xfrm policy check
- tcp_inbound_hash() MD5/AO mismatch
- tcp_filter() eBPF/SO_ATTACH_FILTER drop
- th->syn && th->fin discard in tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_LISTEN
- psp_sk_rx_policy_check() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
- tcp_checksum_complete() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
- tcp_v{4,6}_cookie_check() returning NULL
When a packet is dropped on any of these paths, tcp_tw_isn is left set.
The next SYN processed on the same CPU then consumes the non zero value in
tcp_conn_request(), receiving a potentially predictable ISN.
This patch moves back tcp_tw_isn to skb->cb[], getting rid of the per-cpu
variable.
Note that tcp_v{4,6}_fill_cb() do not set it.
Very litle impact on overall code size/complexity:
That made vmci_transport_recv_listen() skip vsock_remove_pending(),
leaving the pending socket on the listener's pending_links with
sk_state = TCP_CLOSE while destroy: still dropped the explicit
reference taken before schedule_delayed_work().
One second later vsock_pending_work() observed is_pending=true and
performed full cleanup: vsock_remove_pending() then the two trailing
sock_put(sk) calls -- the first reached refcount 0 and __sk_freed
the socket, and the second wrote into the freed object:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in refcount_warn_saturate
Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800b1cac80 by task kworker
Workqueue: events vsock_pending_work
Treat peer RST like any other unexpected packet type (err = -EINVAL).
All destroy: arms now return err < 0, so vmci_transport_recv_listen()
removes pending from pending_links synchronously and
vsock_pending_work() takes the is_pending=false / !rejected branch,
dropping only its own work reference. This also closes the
multi-packet race Sashiko reported on v2: pending is removed from
the list before any subsequent packet can find it.
The pre-existing sk_acceptq_removed() gap on the err < 0 path of
vmci_transport_recv_listen() that Sashiko also noted is not
introduced or changed by this patch.

avoiding a conflict with the TLS strparser's ownership of the receive
queue (commit e91de6afa81c, "bpf: Fix running sk_skb program types

sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() has no equivalent guard. When a socket

tls_data_ready -> tls_strp_data_ready -> tls_rx_msg_ready
-> saved_data_ready() = sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()
-> tcp_read_skb() drains sk_receive_queue via __skb_unlink()
without calling tcp_eat_skb(), so copied_seq is not advanced.
tls_strp_msg_load() then finds tcp_inq() >= full_len (stale), calls
tcp_recv_skb() on the now-empty queue, hits WARN_ON_ONCE(!first), and
returns with rx_ctx->strp.anchor.frag_list pointing at a psock-owned
(potentially freed) skb. tls_decrypt_sg() subsequently walks that
frag_list: use-after-free.
Apply the same fix as sk_psock_strp_data_ready(): if a TLS RX context
is present, call psock->saved_data_ready (sock_def_readable) to wake
recv() waiters and return immediately, leaving the receive queue
untouched. TLS retains sole ownership of the queue and decrypts the
record normally through tls_sw_recvmsg().
