strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect chinfo.name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format strings and sprintf: rpmsg/rpmsg_char.c 165: dev_err(dev, "failed to open %s\n", eptdev->chinfo.name); 368: return sprintf(buf, "%s\n", eptdev->chinfo.name); ... and with strcmp(): | static struct rpmsg_endpoint *qcom_glink_create_ept(struct rpmsg_device *rpdev, | rpmsg_rx_cb_t cb, | void *priv, | struct rpmsg_channel_info | chinfo) | ... | const char *name = chinfo.name; | ... | if (!strcmp(channel->name, name)) Since chinfo is initialized as such (just above the strscpy()): | struct rpmsg_channel_info chinfo = { | .src = rpwwan->rpdev->src, | .dst = RPMSG_ADDR_ANY, | }; ... we know other members are zero-initialized. This means no NUL-padding is required (as any NUL-byte assignments are redundant). Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.

Jacob Keller says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2023-10-19 (ice, igb, ixgbe) This series contains improvements to the ice driver related to VF MSI-X resource tracking, as well as other minor cleanups. Dan fixes code in igb and ixgbe where the conversion to list_for_each_entry failed to account for logic which assumed a NULL pointer after iteration. Jacob makes ice_get_pf_c827_idx static, and refactors ice_find_netlist_node based on feedback that got missed before the function merged. Michal adds a switch rule to drop all traffic received by an inactive LAG port. He also implements ops to allow individual control of MSI-X vectors for SR-IOV VFs. Przemek removes some unused fields in struct ice_flow_entry, and modifies the ice driver to cache the VF PCI device inside struct ice_vf rather than performing lookup at run time. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

The list iterator in a list_for_each_entry() loop can never be NULL. If the loop exits without hitting a break then the iterator points to an offset off the list head and dereferencing it is an out of bounds access. Before we transitioned to using list_for_each_entry() loops, then it was possible for "entry" to be NULL and the comments mention this. I have updated the comments to match the new code.

When we exit a list_for_each_entry() without hitting a break statement, the list iterator isn't NULL, it just point to an offset off the list_head. In that situation, it wouldn't be too surprising for entry->free to be true and we end up corrupting memory. The way to test for these is to just set a flag.

Address a link speed detection issue in KSZ886X PHY driver when in forced link mode. Previously, link partners like "ASIX AX88772B" with KSZ8873 could fall back to 10Mbit instead of configured 100Mbit. The issue arises as KSZ886X PHY continues sending Fast Link Pulses (FLPs) even with autonegotiation off, misleading link partners in autoneg mode, leading to incorrect link speed detection. Now, when autonegotiation is disabled, the driver sets the link state forcefully using KSZ886X_CTRL_FORCE_LINK bit. This action, beyond just disabling autonegotiation, makes the PHY state more reliably detected by link partners using parallel detection, thus fixing the link speed misconfiguration. With autonegotiation enabled, link state is not forced, allowing proper autonegotiation process participation. Signed-off-by:

Petr Machata says: ==================== mlxsw: Move allocation of LAG table to the driver PGT is an in-HW table that maps addresses to sets of ports. Then when some HW process needs a set of ports as an argument, instead of embedding the actual set in the dynamic configuration, what gets configured is the address referencing the set. The HW then works with the appropriate PGT entry. Within the PGT is placed a LAG table. That is a contiguous block of PGT memory where each entry describes which ports are members of the corresponding LAG port. The PGT is split to two parts: one managed by the FW, and one managed by the driver. Historically, the FW part included also the LAG table, referred to as FW LAG mode. Giving the responsibility for placement of the LAG table to the driver, referred to as SW LAG mode, makes the whole system more flexible. The FW currently supports both FW and SW LAG modes. To shed complexity, the FW should in the future only support SW LAG mode. Hence this patchset, where support for placement of LAG is added to mlxsw. There are FW versions out there that do not support SW LAG mode, and on Spectrum-1 in particular, there is no plan to support it at all. mlxsw will therefore have to support both modes of operation. Another aspect is that at least on Spectrum-1, there are FW versions out there that claim to support driver-placed LAG table, but then reject or ignore configurations enabling the same. The driver thus has to have a say in whether an attempt to configure SW LAG mode should even be done. The feature is therefore expressed in terms of "does the driver prefer SW LAG mode?", and "what LAG mode the PCI module managed to configure the FW with". This is unlike current flood mode configuration, where the driver can give a strict value, and that's what gets configured. But it gives a chance to the driver to determine whether LAG mode should be enabled at all. The "does the driver prefer SW LAG mode?" bit is expressed as a boolean lag_mode_prefer_sw. The reason for this is largely another feature that will be introduced in a follow-up patchset: support for CFF flood mode. The driver currently requires that the FW be configured with what is called controlled flood mode. But on capable systems, CFF would be preferred. So there are two values in flight: the preferred flood mode, and the fallback. This could be expressed with an array of flood modes ordered by preference, but that looks like an overkill in comparison. This flag/value model is then reused for LAG mode as well, except the fallback value is absent and implied to be FW, because there are no other values to choose from. The patchset progresses as follows: - Patches #1 to #5 adjust reg.h and cmd.h with new register fields, constants and remarks. - Patches #6 and #7 add the ability to request SW LAG mode and to query the LAG mode that was actually negotiated. This is where the abovementioned lag_mode_prefer_sw flag is added. - Patches #7 to #9 generalize PGT allocations to make it possible to allocate the LAG table, which is done in patch #10. - In patch #11, toggle lag_mode_prefer_sw on Spectrum-2 and above, which makes the newly-added code live. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

In this patch, if the LAG mode is SW, allocate the LAG table and configure SGCR to indicate where it was allocated. We use the default "DDD" (for dynamic data duplication) layout of the LAG table. In the DDD mode, the membership information for each LAG is copied in 8 PGT entries. This is done for performance reasons. The LAG table then needs to be allocated on an address aligned to 8. Deal with this by moving the LAG init ahead so that the LAG table is allocated at address 0. Signed-off-by:

PGT blocks are allocated through the function mlxsw_sp_pgt_mid_alloc_range(). The interface assumes that the caller knows which piece of PGT exactly they want to get. That was fine while the FID code was the only client allocating blocks of PGT. However for SW-allocated LAG table, there will be an additional client: mlxsw_sp_lag_init(). The interface should therefore be changed to not require particular coordinates, but to take just the requested size, allocate the block wherever, and give back the PGT address. In this patch, change the interface accordingly. Initialize FID family's pgt_base from the result of the PGT allocation (note that mlxsw makes a copy of the family structure, so what gets initialized is not actually the global structure). Drop the now-unnecessary pgt_base initializations and the corresponding defines. Signed-off-by:

We currently push everyone to use padding to align 64b values in netlink. Un-padded nla_put_u64() doesn't even exist any more. The story behind this possibly start with this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20121204.130914.1457976839967676240.davem@davemloft.net/ where DaveM was concerned about the alignment of a structure containing 64b stats. If user space tries to access such struct directly: struct some_stats *stats = nla_data(attr); printf("A: %llu", stats->a); lack of alignment may become problematic for some architectures. These days we most often put every single member in a separate attribute, meaning that the code above would use a helper like nla_get_u64(), which can deal with alignment internally. Even for arches which don't have good unaligned access - access aligned to 4B should be pretty efficient. Kernel and well known libraries deal with unaligned input already. Padded 64b is quite space-inefficient (64b + pad means at worst 16B per attr vs 32b which takes 8B). It is also more typing: if (nla_put_u64_pad(rsp, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_SOMETHING, value, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_PAD)) Create a new attribute type which will use 32 bits at netlink level if value is small enough (probably most of the time?), and (4B-aligned) 64 bits otherwise. Kernel API is just: if (nla_put_uint(rsp, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_SOMETHING, value)) Calling this new type "just" sint / uint with no specific size will hopefully also make people more comfortable with using it. Currently telling people "don't use u8, you may need the bits, and netlink will round up to 4B, anyway" is the #1 comment we give to newcomers. In terms of netlink layout it looks like this: 0 4 8 12 16 32b: [nlattr][ u32 ] 64b: [ pad ][nlattr][ u64 ] uint(32) [nlattr][ u32 ] uint(64) [nlattr][ u64 ] Signed-off-by:

uint/sint support will add more logic to mnl_type(), deduplicate it and make it more accessible. Signed-off-by:

Przemek Kitszel says: ==================== devlink: retain error in struct devlink_fmsg Extend devlink fmsg to retain error (patch 1), so drivers could omit error checks after devlink_fmsg_*() (patches 2-10), and finally enforce future uses to follow this practice by change to return void (patch 11) Note that it was compile tested only. bloat-o-meter for whole series: add/remove: 8/18 grow/shrink: 23/40 up/down: 2017/-5833 (-3816) ==================== Signed-off-by:
