igc: fix netdev not re-attached after resume if interface is down
__igc_resume() calls netif_device_attach() only inside the
netif_running() branch, so an interface that was down during suspend
is never re-attached on resume. It then stays in the not-present state
that __igc_shutdown() set via netif_device_detach(): ethtool reports
ENODEV and every attempt to bring the interface up fails the
netif_device_present() check in __dev_open() with -ENODEV, silently,
since __igc_resume() returns 0. Only reloading the driver recovers the
device.
This is easy to hit in practice because NetworkManager brings managed
interfaces down before sleep unless Wake-on-LAN is configured, making
the adapter unusable after every suspend/resume cycle with WoL
disabled.
Re-attach the netdev on every successful resume, as igb and e1000e do.

tls: don't abort the connection on signal-interrupted sends
When a signal interrupts a blocking send, tls_tx_records() treats the
resulting -ERESTARTSYS as a transmission failure and marks the socket
errored via tls_err_abort() with the raw error code. Later syscalls
return the kernel-internal errno 512 (ERESTARTSYS) to userspace, as the
signal it stems from is no longer pending during syscall exit and thus
never translated.
An interrupted send is not a connection error: the partially sent record
stays queued and is resent later. Interrupt error codes are therefore
excluded from the abort in the same way as -EAGAIN.

net: Defer netdev KOBJ_ADD uevent until the device is published
netdev_register_kobject() calls device_add(), which emits KOBJ_ADD and
wakes udev, but register_netdevice() only makes the device findable by
name later, in list_netdevice(). A udev worker that reacts to the uevent
can therefore run against a device that no lookup can find yet.
This used to be harmless because the ethtool ioctl took the rtnl_lock
when looking the device up, and register_netdevice() runs under rtnl, so
the worker simply blocked until registration finished. The commit in the
fixes tag moved the lookup out from under rtnl for ops-locked drivers.
Now there is a short window in register_netdevice() between
netdev_register_kobject() until list_netdevice() when the device is not
findable by name.
This was reproduced with the mlx5 driver on a kernel with KASAN enabled
during devlink reload: systemd-udevd's net_driver builtin gets -ENODEV
from ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO, which was preventing interface renaming.
Suppress the uevent in netdev_register_kobject() and emit it from
register_netdevice() next to rtmsg_ifinfo(). This is the last point in
register_netdevice() where no error can happen, so only fully registered
devices are announced: the registration error paths never reach it, and
the device_del() that unwinds them stays silent as well, leaving
userspace with neither an add nor a remove.

sctp_make_heartbeat_ack() caches the destination transport in

If the peer transport is removed while the chunk is still queued,

vcc_setsockopt() contained an ineffective optlen check:

return -EINVAL;
If __SO_LEVEL_MATCH(optname, level) evaluated to false (e.g. if the caller

was short-circuited and bypassed. Execution then fell through to switch(optname),
calling copy_from_sockptr() assuming optval contained sufficient space.
Furthermore, even if level matched, a cgroup BPF setsockopt filter could shrink
optlen after entry. Because copy_from_sockptr() on kernel pointers uses memcpy(),
this leads to a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read when optlen is smaller than the
expected structure size.
Fix this by using copy_safe_from_sockptr(), which unconditionally validates
that optlen is at least the expected size before copying. Also change the local
'value' variable type from 'unsigned long' to 'int' so that SO_SETCLP matches
its sizeof(int) ABI encoding on 64-bit systems.

net: fix hard_header_len races in packet send paths
The packet socket TX paths read dev->hard_header_len independently for
skb allocation and header construction. Concurrent netdevice
reconfiguration (e.g. bonding device type changes) can change this value
in between, leading to mismatched headroom and copy length, and in the
SOCK_RAW case to out-of-bounds writes.
Patch 1 removes the CAP_SYS_RAWIO zero-padding branch in
dev_validate_header(). That branch sizes a memset against the live
dev->hard_header_len while operating on an skb whose headroom was
allocated from an earlier hard_header_len read, so a concurrent increase
can write past the reserved buffer. Removing it first keeps the later
snapshot fixes bisect-safe: they do not replace an earlier skb_under_panic
with a silent overwrite.
Patches 2 and 3 snapshot hard_header_len once per send and use it
consistently for allocation and construction, in the non-ring and TX_RING
paths respectively. The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between
hard_header_len and header_ops->create remains out of scope, as noted in
the commit messages.

packet: use consistent hard_header_len in non-ring send paths
packet_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len multiple times while allocating

concurrently, for example through bonding device type changes.
For SOCK_RAW, packet_snd() can save a larger value in reserve and later
allocate headroom using a smaller value. Moving skb->data back by reserve
then places it before skb->head, and the following copy from userspace can
attempt an out-of-bounds write.
packet_sendmsg_spkt() has the same issue because it calculates its
reservation and header offset from separate reads before dropping the RCU
read lock to allocate the skb.

reconfigured so that dev->hard_header_len increases before validation,
the memset writes past the reserved buffer, an out-of-bounds write.
This out-of-bounds write is masked in some SOCK_RAW paths today because
the same concurrent increase can first make skb_push() exceed the
reserved headroom and trigger skb_under_panic(). Remove the zero-padding
branch before making those hard_header_len reads consistent, so the
snapshot fixes do not turn a loud panic into a silent overwrite.
This path is only reached for variable length L2 protocols, where
len < hard_header_len but len >= min_header_len. No remaining in-tree
variable length L2 protocol implements header_ops->validate, and the
CAP_SYS_RAWIO bypass that zero-pads and accepts short headers has no
real value beyond allowing testing of intentionally malformed input.
Drop the CAP_SYS_RAWIO branch. The remaining reads of
dev->hard_header_len in dev_validate_header() are comparisons only and
have no memory safety impact.

before the handler completes.
If the lock acquisitions interleave such that mptcp_pm_destroy() empties

mptcp: pm: fix data race in add_addr timer callback
The timer callback reads entry->retrans_times outside pm.lock to decide
whether to call mptcp_pm_subflow_established(). Since
mptcp_pm_announced_del_timer() can concurrently set retrans_times =
ADD_ADDR_RETRANS_MAX under pm.lock, a race condition exists.
I discovered this issue while studying the code. AI tools helped me to
verify the issue can potentially happen under race conditions.
Use a local 'retransmit' flag set inside pm.lock to capture whether
retransmission is still possible when the lock is taken. This allows to
call mptcp_pm_subflow_established() accordingly, and not depending on
the situation that can be different when checked outside the pm.lock.

After the parent commit ("mptcp: avoid combining some incoming
suboptions"), the parsing step no longer allow to have both the
MP_CAPABLE and MP_JOIN suboptions set together.
These chunks are now unreachable, these checks can then be removed.
Some MPTCP suboptions are mutually exclusive according to the RFC8684,
but also because in different places, the code doesn't expect some
combinations to be present. That's specially true for suboptions that
would be present twice, but with different attributes.
The new restrictions are the same as the ones applied on the output
side, with mptcp_write_options. The same rules can be reused with a
small fix: an MP_FASTCLOSE can be used with a DSS when the sender picks
this option [1], which is not the case on Linux. Here are the rules:
Which options can be used together?
X: mutually exclusive
O: often used together
C: can be used together in some cases
P: could be used together but we prefer not to (optimisations)
| Opt: | MPC | MPJ | DSS | ADD | RM | PRIO | FAIL | FC |
|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
| MPC |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
| MPJ | X |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
| DSS | X | X |------|------|------|------|------|------|
| ADD | X | X | P |------|------|------|------|------|
| RM | C | C | C | P |------|------|------|------|
| PRIO | X | C | C | C | C |------|------|------|
| FAIL | X | X | C | X | X | X |------|------|
| FC | X | X | P | X | X | X | X |------|
| RST | X | X | X | X | X | X | O | O |
|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
The only difference is with the 'P': another stack could send and
ADD_ADDR with other suboptions (DSS, RM_ADDR), and this should be
allowed.
A few points of attention:
- In theory, an MP_CAPABLE could be used with a RM_ADDR, but there is
no reason to add it with a SYN. Note that even with a 4th ACK, it
doesn't seem to be useful, except when IDs are known in advance via
another channel. Better not to break that.
- Now, combining both an MP_CAPABLE and an MP_JOIN will no longer
result to a reject of the two options, but only the second suboption
is ignored. That seems OK to do that for this unexpected error. At
least now all inconsistent combinations are handled the same way.
This could change later in next. This also means the explicit checks
for having both MPC + MPJ in subflow.c will now be unreachable.
That's fine, they will be removed in a follow-up patch.
- In case of conflicting combinations, the extra suboption(s) is/are
ignored: having such combinations either means the remote peer is
buggy, or is evil. The simplest action is then taken in this case:
stop processing the current suboption.
- In mp_opt->suboptions, there is also a bit reserved to the checksum,
which can be used in an MP_CAPABLE and a DSS. Each time a DSS option
can be used in parallel with another option, the checksum can be set,
so the verification is combined into a new OPTIONS_MPTCP_DSS macro.
- An MP_CAPABLE ACK can carry a Data-Level Length, and an optional
Checksum: they are the same as the ones found in a DSS, because a DSS
cannot be used in parallel to an MP_CAPABLE. Similarly, even if there
is room, a DSS cannot be used with an MP_JOIN.
mptcp: options: reset DSS fields in case of unexpected size
A remote peer could send a malformed DSS with a wrong size, followed by
another DSS or MPC + Data. In this case, the first suboption will be
ignored, but leaving some fields written, which could lead to
inconsistency or access uninitialized data.
Explicitly reset the fields that could have been modified in case of
unexpected size.

Nothing ties that to the interface being up, so the work can be armed
again after ipheth_close() has already drained it, and stay armed
until the netdev whose private area embeds it is freed.
On unplug with a TX URB in flight, ipheth_disconnect() drains the work
through unregister_netdev() -> ipheth_close() ->
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and only then calls ipheth_kill_urbs().
usb_kill_urb() completes the in-flight TX URB with -ENOENT, so
ipheth_sndbulk_callback() runs after the drain and re-arms
carrier_work.
The same completion also re-arms the work if the interface is only
brought down while a TX URB is in flight, and
ipheth_carrier_check_work() then keeps re-queueing itself once a
second. unregister_netdev() does not call ipheth_close() for an
already-down interface, so nothing drains it on the later unplug
either.
In both cases free_netdev() frees the netdev while carrier_work is
still pending, and ipheth_carrier_check_work() dereferences freed
memory.
Tie the work to the interface state instead of chasing the completion:
disable it in ipheth_close() and enable it in ipheth_open(), so a
schedule_delayed_work() from the URB completion is a no-op whenever
the interface is not up. disable_delayed_work_sync() also waits for a
running instance, so it fully replaces the cancel_delayed_work_sync()
it takes the place of. The work starts out disabled in ipheth_probe()
so the enable/disable counts balance from the first open.
Reproduced under KASAN on linux-next (next-20260731) with dummy_hcd and
raw-gadget standing in for the device, driving the second path above (the
interface is already down, so unregister_netdev() does not call
ipheth_close()): 15 of 15 unpatched boots report a slab-use-after-free in
__run_timers(), freed by ipheth_disconnect() and re-armed from
ipheth_sndbulk_callback() via queue_delayed_work_on(). The
same trigger on a kernel differing only by this patch reports 0 of 15,
and the carrier check still functions across open/close cycles.
The reproducer needs an attached USB device that stops draining bulk OUT,
plus a link down and unplug, driven as root. It is not a privilege
boundary crossing and no exploit primitive was developed.

net: thunderbolt: Tear down DMA paths before stopping the rings
tbnet_tear_down() stops both rings and frees their frame buffers before
calling tb_xdomain_disable_paths(). tb_ring_stop() zeroes the ring's
descriptor base and tbnet_free_buffers() unmaps and frees the pages the
frames sit in, so by the time __tb_path_deactivate_hop() polls the hop's
'pending' bit, anything still in flight has nowhere to drain to.
The teardown sequence has been in this order since the driver was added.
The setup path has not: commit ff7cd07f3064 ("net: thunderbolt: Enable
DMA paths only after rings are enabled") moved the path enable to the end
of tbnet_connected_work() and documented why:
/* Both logins successful so enable the rings, high-speed DMA
* paths and start the network device queue.
*
* Note we enable the DMA paths last to make sure we have primed
* the Rx ring before any incoming packets are allowed to
* arrive.
*/
Teardown was never updated to match, so the rings and the paths now come
down in the same order they go up instead of in reverse.
On an ASMedia ASM4242 host router the 'pending' bit then never clears:
every teardown burns the full 500 ms timeout and
__tb_path_deactivate_hop() returns -ETIMEDOUT. Raising the timeout to
5 s does not help, so the hop is not slow to drain, it never drains
at all.
The failure is invisible above the thunderbolt core.
__tb_path_deactivate_hops() is void and only calls tb_port_warn();
tb_path_deactivate(), tb_tunnel_deactivate() and
__tb_disconnect_xdomain_paths() are void as well, and
tb_disconnect_xdomain_paths() ends in an unconditional "return 0". So
tb_xdomain_disable_paths() reports success and the netdev_warn() below
it never fires. Repeated teardowns eventually take the XDomain control
channel down, after which the peer node is gone and only a power cycle
brings the controller back.
Deactivating the paths first fixes it. Measured with kretprobes on a
stock v6.17 tree with no other patches applied, on a link that was up
and had just carried traffic:
before: __tb_path_deactivate_hop() returns 0 for the first hop, then
-ETIMEDOUT for the second 500335 us later
after: 0 for both, 525 us apart
Alternating the two orderings ABBA over three load levels, four
teardowns per arm: every teardown failed before the change (21 of 21
that ran), none failed after (0 of 24). The before arms ran short
because the link died partway through. The same split shows up when
the interface is enslaved to a bond instead of just brought down, which
is how I ran into this in the first place. Throughput and latency after
the change are unchanged.
Hosts whose routers drain the hop despite the stale descriptor base see
no functional difference, since the paths end up deactivated either way.

In function otx2_get_egress_burst_cfg, when the parameter `burst` is
255 and the max mantissa is 255 (0xFFULL), `burst_exp` is set to
`ilog2(255) - 1`, which equals 6.
This results in an unsigned wrap-around when calculating
`(1ULL << (*burst_exp - 7))`, since `*burst_exp - 7` becomes -1,
which makes the shift operand 0xFFFFFFFF. This value is greater than
the width of the left operand.
According to standard 6.5.7 p.3:
"The type of the result is that of the promoted left operand.
If the value of the right operand is negative or is greater than
or equal to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior
is undefined."
Fix the off-by-one boundary condition.
Add a WARN_ON(*burst_exp < 7) before the else branch as an
explicit safeguard. This ensures that if max_mantissa ever changes
in a way that reintroduces this condition, it will be immediately
caught at runtime rather than silently triggering UB.

net: phy: mediatek: fix TX blink masks using the RX bits

blink bits, and the LED blinks on received traffic. The masks are also

The commit 4f61f133f354 ("net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in

tap_get_user() by assigning skb->dev before calling tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb().
This is required because virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() may invoke
dev_parse_header_protocol(), which dereferences skb->dev. Without the
assignment, a NULL pointer dereference can occur.
However, tap_get_user_xdp() still parses the virtio-net header before
assigning skb->dev. When the vhost TX path passes an XDP buffer containing
a GSO virtio-net header but the protocol is set to zero on purpose,
tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb() can reach dev_parse_header_protocol() while skb->dev
is still NULL, resulting in a crash.
Fix this by looking up the tap device and assigning skb->dev before calling
tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb(), matching the ordering already used in
tap_get_user(). Preserve the existing RCU read-side critical section across

continues to use both sdata and the embedded wpan_dev.
mac802154_stop_beacons_locked() cancels only pending beacon work, clears
local->beacon_req and frees the request. A beacon worker that is already
running can therefore continue after interface teardown and dereference
the freed netdev private area.
The scan worker already pins the netdev before leaving RCU. Apply the
same lifetime rule to the beacon worker: take a netdev reference while
the request is still protected by RCU, and release it on all paths that
continue after the reference is acquired.

tcp: fix TFO max_qlen accounting across reuseport migration
A listener's TCP_FASTOPEN max_qlen stops being accurate and lets through
far more pending Fast Open requests than it was configured for.
This only shows up with SO_REUSEPORT listener migration, where closing a
listener hands its still-pending TFO children over to a surviving one.
fastopenq.qlen is charged in tcp_fastopen_create_child() when the child
is created and uncharged in reqsk_fastopen_remove() when the handshake
completes. The uncharge follows rsk_listener of the request the child
points at, and inet_reqsk_clone() has repointed the child at a new
request owned by the new listener, so the ++ and the -- land on two
different sockets. The new listener's qlen drifts negative and its
limit no longer binds.
Charge the new listener during migration, like reqsk_queue_migrated()
already does for queue->young and queue->qlen.

mm: fix incorrect flush address in direct page table reclaim
When zap_pte_range reclaims a page table, it does:
pte_free_tlb(tlb, pmd_pgtable(pmdval), addr);
and this is unconditionally wrong: if this code executes, addr *always*
points one past the end of the range covered by the table. The addr
parameter is used to flush the TLB (really the paging-structure-cache)
to drop references to the to-be-freed table, and any architecture that
cares about the parameter will flush the wrong address. (But they'll
still free the correct page).
I think it's worth contemplating why the kernel works at all.
If we hit the offending line of code, we will first clear the PMD entry
(line 1954, zap_empty_pte_table), then we will issue pending flushes if
force_flush is set (tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(tlb)), then we will skip the
retry on line 1979 (phew!), and then we will do the offending
pte_free_tlb call. *Or* we will clear the PMD entry immediately before
pte_free_tlb (line 1983, zap_pte_table_if_empty).
If we have any pending flushes (i.e. we actually zapped any last-level
entries) at the time we clear the PMD entry, then the flush really ought
to flush all references to the table (Linus certainly seems to think it
will on all architectures [0]).
The condition under which we have no accumulated flushes at the time of
the clear is very complex (the whole zap_pte_range function has absurdly
complex control flow). If we do hit the bad case, then we will end up
clearing the PMD entry after the last time the range is flushed, and any
CPU is free to cache a reference to the (empty) page table. If this
happens due to an ordinary read or write, it would segfault, so it would
be rare. But the cache could be speculatively filled as well. Then
we'll flush the wrong address and then free and possibly reuse the
table.
On x86, even flushing the wrong address works on non-KPTI Intel systems
because INVLPG flushes *all* paging-structure-caches, not just the ones
for the target address. But INVPCID does not, and flush_tlb_one_user
will use INVPCID if it's available. And then we're toast. AMD systems
are more susceptible: we set the EFER.TCE bit, which makes even INVLPG
only flush the target address.

sctp: fix addip_serial increment on ASCONF_ACK allocation failure
In sctp_process_asconf(), when sctp_make_asconf_ack() fails to allocate
the ASCONF_ACK chunk due to memory pressure, the code jumps to the
done label where asoc->peer.addip_serial is unconditionally incremented.
This leaves the peer's ASCONF (serial N) unacknowledged while the local
endpoint now expects serial N+1. When the peer retransmits serial N, it
falls into the serial < addip_serial + 1 branch ,
which attempts to look up a cached ACK for serial N. No cached ACK
exists since the allocation failed, so the retransmission is silently
discarded. The peer eventually times out and ABORTs the association.
Move the addip_serial increment inside the if (asconf_ack) block so that
the serial number is only advanced when the ASCONF_ACK is successfully
created and cached. This way, on allocation failure, the serial number
is unchanged and the peer's retransmitted ASCONF will be correctly
re-processed.

Each VNIC has a default RX ring. The purpose of the default RX ring
is to provide a destination for any packets that cannot be parsed by
the RSS logic. Up until now, the default RX ring is always Ring 0.
We neglected to take care of this default RX ring when adding the
queue restart feature. If ring 0 (default ring) is re-started, it
may now have a new FW ring ID after freeing the old one and
allocating a new one. The VNIC now may have a stale default ring
and it may generate an internal exception. This exception may
appear in dmesg:
FW reported unknown error type 10
The best way to resolve this issue is to use a more appropriate
ring for the default ring instead of always ring 0. Ring 0 may not
even be in the RSS table, especially on a new RSS context.
This patch adds the logic to determine and store the proper default
RX ring for a VNIC. For an RSS VNIC, the default ring is the lowest
ring number in the RSS table. The next patch will add proper logic
to update the VNIC if the default ring changes after queue restart.

net: openvswitch: reallocate update replies for mismatched IDs
ovs_flow_cmd_new() preallocates the optional reply skb before it takes
ovs_mutex and before it knows which existing flow will be updated.
That is normally fine because the skb is sized from the request flow
identifier. That identifier also becomes the inserted flow's identifier.
For updates, however, a request with a UFID may miss the UFID lookup and
then fall back to the flow key lookup. That lookup can legitimately find
an existing key-identified flow. UFIDs are optional and the flow key is
the primary identifier.
For echoed replies, ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() writes the matched flow's
identifier, not the request identifier used for the preallocation. A short
request UFID can therefore leave too little room for the key identifier.
The fill can then fail with -EMSGSIZE and hit the BUG_ON(error < 0) in the
update path.
Once the update target has been resolved, reallocate the reply skb if the
matched flow needs a larger reply than the request identifier allowed. Do
this before replacing the actions so the request can still fail cleanly if
the rare extra allocation fails.

Reviewed-by tags, and each carries a Fixes tag and a Cc: stable with
the affected range (patch 1: v4.11+, patch 2: v5.2+). They apply and

conversion.
Patch 1: aq_vec_deinit() drains the TX rings with a single
aq_ring_tx_clean() call, which is capped at AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET
descriptors and stops at hw_head, frozen once the hardware and NAPI
have been stopped. Everything beyond that keeps its skb or xdp_frame
when the interface goes down and is lost when the buffer ring is
freed.
Patch 2: aq_ring_rx_deinit() only walks [sw_head, sw_tail). Since the
page reuse strategy was added, a cleaned RX buffer keeps its page for
reuse and refill is batched, so consumed but not yet reposted slots
accumulate in the [sw_tail, sw_head) gap and their pages and DMA
mappings are never released.
Reproduction logs for both leaks (as page_pool stalled shutdowns,
which is how they become visible) are in the notes of the respective
patches.

the hardware and NAPI. Completed descriptors beyond the budget and
everything still posted in [hw_head, sw_tail) keep their skb or
xdp_frame when the interface goes down: aq_vec_ring_free() then frees
the buffer ring and the references are lost for good.
Today this is a silent memory leak on every interface down under
TX/XDP_TX load. With the conversion of the RX path to page_pool posted
for net-next it becomes much more visible: XDP_TX frames carry fragment
references on the RX ring's page_pool, so a single stranded frame keeps
the pool's inflight count above zero forever. page_pool_destroy() then
never completes, the pool is leaked together with its pages, and
"page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown" is warned every 60
seconds from that point on, on every ifdown, XDP detach or ring resize
under XDP_TX load.
Bring back aq_ring_tx_deinit() as it was before the removal and use it
for teardown again, with one extension: TX rings can hold xdp_frames
nowadays, so release those too. They are returned with
xdp_return_frame() since this runs in process context.

net: stmmac: resume PHY before hardware setup when opening the interface
Since the referenced commit, changing the MTU on a running interface no
longer disconnects and reconnects the PHY; __stmmac_release() merely
stops phylink, which also suspends the PHY (BMCR power-down) when WoL
is not enabled. __stmmac_open() then performs the DMA software reset in
stmmac_hw_setup() before phylink_start() resumes the PHY again.
IEEE 802.3 22.2.4.1.5 allows a PHY to stop its receive clock while
powered down, and stmmac requires a running receive clock for the DMA
software reset to complete (the phylink config sets mac_requires_rxc).
On such setups, e.g. the RK3566-based Home Assistant Green with an
RTL8211F-VD PHY in RGMII mode, any runtime MTU change now times out and
leaves the interface dead:
rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: Failed to reset the dma
rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: stmmac_hw_setup: DMA engine initialization failed
rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: __stmmac_open: Hw setup failed
rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet end0: failed reopening the interface after MTU change
In the field this is triggered by NetworkManager applying an MTU while
activating the connection, breaking networking entirely. The same
regression has also been reported on i.MX8MP and reproduced on SoCFPGA
based systems.
Resume the PHY in __stmmac_open() before the hardware setup, making it
the counterpart of the phylink_stop() in __stmmac_release(), like
stmmac_resume() already does for the same reason. phylink_start() also
resumes the PHY, but only after stmmac_hw_setup(), and it cannot be
moved before the hardware setup since it may bring the link up
immediately from a workqueue, racing with the initialization (see the
comment in stmmac_resume()). For the regular ndo_open path the PHY has
just been attached and is not suspended, in which case
phylink_prepare_resume() does nothing.

selftests/ftrace: refactor eprobes test to fix argument checks
The add/remove eprobe test installs an eprobe for the openat syscall and
runs ls. It checks the filenames that were opened by ls against a
whitelist and a blacklist.
Commit 206b25c09080 ("tracing: eprobe: read the complete FILTER_PTR_STRING
pointer") fixed access to some string fields in eprobes. This triggers
test failures as the blacklist does not allow relative paths for the
openat parameters.
What makes this test unstable is the fact that the openat calls vary a
lot between different systems.
Refactor the test to make it more robust. "cd <directory>" will issue a
chdir syscall with the target directory as parameter. Set an eprobe on
the sys_enter_chdir event and filter for the exact directory name. Allow
(fault) as fallback.

ipv6: prevent in6_dev_get() from resurrecting inet6_dev
in6_dev_get() reads dev->ip6_ptr under RCU and then unconditionally

resurrects an object whose RCU free has already been queued, so callers

ima: fix out-of-bounds read in xattr_verify()
The digest-length check in xattr_verify() mixes int and size_t:
if (xattr_len - sizeof(xattr_value->type) - hash_start >=
iint->ima_hash->length)
sizeof() yields size_t, so the usual arithmetic conversions promote
the whole left-hand side to unsigned 64-bit before the subtraction
runs. For a truncated xattr this underflows instead of going negative:
a 1-byte IMA_XATTR_DIGEST_NG xattr (xattr_len == 1, hash_start == 1)
turns "1 - 1 - 1" into SIZE_MAX, which is trivially >= ima_hash->length.
The check then passes and the following memcmp() reads
iint->ima_hash->length bytes starting past the end of the buffer
vfs_getxattr_alloc() allocated for it.
Nothing upstream clamps xattr_len back into a safe range first:
ima_get_hash_algo() only special-cases xattr_len < 2 to pick a default
algorithm, and evm_verifyxattr() returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN rather than
failing when no HMAC key is loaded, so a truncated security.ima value
reaches the length check as-is.
Rewrite the comparison so every operand stays a signed int and no
implicit conversion to size_t can occur.

net/sched: cls_api: Always acquire rtnl_lock when destroying locked classifiers
Another challenge with unlocked filters.
There is a short window in tc_new_tfilter where a tcf_proto can be found
and briefly referenced by a totally unrelated, unlocked classifier's request
and cause a race.
Feng created a poc which created this race with two threads, one creating a
u32 filter and other a flower filter in the same chain/prio:
1. Both threads enter tc_new_tfilter, both find the chain empty, both
drop filter_chain_lock
2. u32 finishes tcf_proto_create("u32") first, calls
tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> inserts u32_tp into the chain
3. flower finishes tcf_proto_create("flower") later, calls
tcf_chain_tp_insert_unique() -> tcf_chain_tp_find() now sees u32_tp
already there, takes a reference on it, destroys flower's own tp_new
and returns u32_tp to the caller.
Flower then hits the kind mismatch check (because it requested for kind
"flower" but tp->ops->kind is "u32") and goes through the errout path
which calls tcf_proto_put() on u32_tp. If the u32 thread has already
gone through its own errout (its change() call failed on the PoC's empty
options) and dropped its create and insert refs, flower's put is the
last one and drops u32_tp's refcnt to zero.
At this point tp->ops->destroy() runs in a context that never took
rtnl_lock. When that happens, it might cause a UAF like the following
(illustrated by the PoC):
[ +0.000710] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in u32_init (net/sched/cls_u32.c:393)
[ +0.000281] Read of size 8 at addr ffff888120022f00 by task poc_feng_xue/524
Fix this by having tcf_proto_destroy() take rtnl_lock around
tp->ops->destroy() for locked classifiers whenever rtnl is not held.
To explain why I used a temp variable "not_lockless" I'd like to point to a
semi-related note on rtnl_held vs TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED (adding here
for future cleanup if deemed necessary):
The rtnl_held parameter and the TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED flag are
redundant sources of truth for whether rtnl_lock is held. Among the nine
classifier destroy(..rtnl_held..) callbacks, only flower consults the
rtnl_held parameter which it propagates to tc_setup_cb_destroy()
and tc_setup_cb_call(). The other eight (u32, flow, bpf, cgroup, route, basic,
fw, mall) ignore it entirely;-> those that call tc_setup_cb_destroy()
(u32, bpf, mall) hardcode true always instead of forwarding the parameter.
A future cleanup should remove the rtnl_held parameter from the destroy callback
signature entirely and have callers rely solely on their knowledge whether
they are running in an unlocked context.

stale or NULL ring storage.
Move the existing receive hook assignment into the same

avoid adding behavior changes that are not required for the fix.
Serialize packet_recvmsg() pressure clearing with the same queue lock
only after PACKET_SOCK_PRESSURE has been observed. If the flag is clear
and the socket has moved away from tpacket_rcv, packet_set_ring() has
already detached the socket and waited for synchronize_net(), so no new
packet input can set the flag again.
packet_poll() already holds sk_receive_queue.lock, so it uses the new

Although virtio feature bits must not change after feature negotiation,
vhost_scsi_set_features() currently accepts such a request after the
endpoint is active and updates acked_features. Enabling T10-PI after
endpoint setup therefore leaves prot_sgl NULL while the I/O path follows
the new feature bit.

VHOST_F_LOG_ALL is a vhost-specific runtime feature and remains the only

Reject changes to any feature other than VHOST_F_LOG_ALL while the

vhost: reset the vring metadata cache on vring reconfiguration

taking the hit as proof that the region has already been validated:

device IOTLB (re)initialisation and on vq reset, but not when

VHOST_SET_VRING_NUM changes the region sizes.
With a device IOTLB attached both ioctls are accepted while the vq is
live, and neither validates the addresses at ioctl time: vq_access_ok()
and vq_log_used_access_ok() return true early because the addresses are
GIOVAs, deferring validation to prefetch time. Once the cache has been
populated that deferred validation no longer runs -- vq_meta_prefetch()
hits the stale entry and returns true -- and vhost_vq_meta_fetch() keeps
translating through the old mapping as
map->addr + addr - map->start
for an address the mapping no longer covers. vhost_copy_to_user() and
vhost_copy_from_user() consume the result with __copy_to_user() and
__copy_from_user(), which do not check it either, so a subsequent used
ring update or descriptor fetch accesses memory outside the region the
IOTLB actually maps.
Reset the metadata cache whenever the vring is reconfigured, so the new

to the "drop" label where it does `if (skb) dev_kfree_skb_any(skb)`.
Because tx_fixup() returned NULL, the local skb variable in
usbnet_start_xmit() is NULL, so the original skb is never freed — a
memory leak on every TX frame whose linearization fails (i.e. under
memory pressure).
Free the skb before returning, matching the error handling already used
for the pskb_expand_head() failure path in the same function.
