When a VLAN is deleted from a port, the flags in struct switchdev_obj_port_vlan are always 0. ksz8_port_vlan_del() copies the BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_UNTAGGED flag to the port's Tag Removal flag, and therefore always clears it. In case there are multiple VLANs configured as untagged on this port - which seems useless, but is allowed - deleting one of them changes the remaining VLANs to be tagged. It's only ever necessary to change this flag when a VLAN is added to the port, so leave it unchanged in ksz8_port_vlan_del().

The switches supported by ksz8795 only have a per-port flag for Tag Removal. This means it is not possible to support both tagged and untagged VLANs on the same port. Reject attempts to add a VLAN that requires the flag to be changed, unless there are no VLANs currently configured. VID 0 is excluded from this check since it is untagged regardless of the state of the flag. On the CPU port we could support tagged and untagged VLANs at the same time. This will be enabled by a later patch. Fixes: e66f840c ("net: dsa: ksz: Add Microchip KSZ8795 DSA driver") Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@mind.be> Signed-off-by: David S.

ksz8795 has never actually enabled PVID tag insertion, and it also programmed the PVID incorrectly. To fix this: * Allow tag insertion to be controlled per ingress port. On most chips, set bit 2 in Global Control 19. On KSZ88x3 this control flag doesn't exist. * When adding a PVID: - Set the appropriate register bits to enable tag insertion on egress at every other port if this was the packet's ingress port. - Mask *out* the VID from the default tag, before or-ing in the new PVID. * When removing a PVID: - Clear the same control bits to disable tag insertion. - Don't update the default tag. This wasn't doing anything useful. Fixes: e66f840c ("net: dsa: ksz: Add Microchip KSZ8795 DSA driver") Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@mind.be> Signed-off-by: David S.

mlx5e_close_xdpsq does the cleanup: it calls mlx5e_free_xdpsq_descs to free the outstanding descriptors, which relies on mlx5e_page_release_dynamic and page_pool_release_page. However, page_pool_destroy is already called by this point, because mlx5e_close_rq runs before mlx5e_close_xdpsq. This commit fixes the use-after-free by swapping mlx5e_close_xdpsq and mlx5e_close_rq. The commit cited below started calling page_pool_destroy directly from the driver. Previously, the page pool was destroyed under a call_rcu from xdp_rxq_info_unreg_mem_model, which would defer the deallocation until after the XDPSQ is cleaned up.

In some circumstances, such as with bridging, it's possible that the stack will add the device's own MAC address to its unicast address list. If, later, the stack deletes this address, the driver will receive a request to remove this address. The driver stores its current MAC address as part of the VSI MAC filter list instead of separately. So, this causes a problem when the device's MAC address is deleted unexpectedly, which results in traffic failure in some cases. The following configuration steps will reproduce the previously mentioned problem: > ip link set eth0 up > ip link add dev br0 type bridge > ip link set br0 up > ip addr flush dev eth0 > ip link set eth0 master br0 > echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_filtering > modprobe -r veth > modprobe -r bridge > ip addr add 192.168.1.100/24 dev eth0 The following ping command fails due to the netdev->dev_addr being deleted when removing the bridge module. > ping <link partner> Fix this by making sure to not delete the netdev->dev_addr during MAC address sync. After fixing this issue it was noticed that the netdev_warn() in .set_mac was overly verbose, so make it at netdev_dbg(). Also, there is a possibility of a race condition between .set_mac and .set_rx_mode. Fix this by calling netif_addr_lock_bh() and netif_addr_unlock_bh() on the device's netdev when the netdev->dev_addr is going to be updated in .set_mac.

The userspace utility "driverctl" can be used to change/override the system's default driver choices. This is useful in some situations (buggy driver, old driver missing a device ID, trying a workaround, etc.) where the user needs to load a different driver. However, this is also prone to user error, where a driver is mapped to a device it's not designed to drive. For example, if the ice driver is mapped to driver iavf devices, the ice driver crashes.

There can be a race between the waiters for a tx work request buffer and the link down processing that finally clears the link. Although all waiters are woken up before the link is cleared there might be waiters which did not yet get back control and are still waiting. This results in an access to a cleared wait queue head. Fix this by introducing atomic reference counting around the wait calls, and wait with the link clear processing until all waiters have finished.

The CPSW switchdev driver inherited fix from commit 9421c901 ("net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix min eth packet size") which changes min TX packet size to 64bytes (VLAN_ETH_ZLEN, excluding ETH_FCS). It was done to fix HW packed drop issue when packets are sent from Host to the port with PVID and un-tagging enabled. Unfortunately this breaks some other non-switch specific use-cases, like: - [1] CPSW port as DSA CPU port with DSA-tag applied at the end of the packet - [2] Some industrial protocols, which expects min TX packet size 60Bytes (excluding FCS). Fix it by configuring min TX packet size depending on driver mode - 60Bytes (ETH_ZLEN) for multi mac (dual-mac) mode - 64Bytes (VLAN_ETH_ZLEN) for switch mode and update it during driver mode change and annotate with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() as it can be read by napi while writing.

As mentioned in commit c07aea3e ("mm: add a signature in struct page"): "The page->signature field is aliased to page->lru.next and page->compound_head." And as the comment in page_is_pfmemalloc(): "lru.next has bit 1 set if the page is allocated from the pfmemalloc reserves. Callers may simply overwrite it if they do not need to preserve that information." The page->signature is OR’ed with PP_SIGNATURE when a page is allocated in page pool, see __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow(), and page->signature is checked directly with PP_SIGNATURE in page_pool_return_skb_page(), which might cause resoure leaking problem for a page from page pool if bit 1 of lru.next is set for a pfmemalloc page. What happens here is that the original pp->signature is OR'ed with PP_SIGNATURE after the allocation in order to preserve any existing bits(such as the bit 1, used to indicate a pfmemalloc page), so when those bits are present, those page is not considered to be from page pool and the DMA mapping of those pages will be left stale. As bit 0 is for page->compound_head, So mask both bit 0/1 before the checking in page_pool_return_skb_page(). And we will return those pfmemalloc pages back to the page allocator after cleaning up the DMA mapping.

When registering new ppp interface via PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl then kernel has to choose interface name as this ioctl API does not support specifying it. Kernel in this case register new interface with name "ppp<id>" where <id> is the ppp unit id, which can be obtained via PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. This applies also in the case when registering new ppp interface via rtnl without supplying IFLA_IFNAME. PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl allows to specify own ppp unit id which will kernel assign to ppp interface, in case this ppp id is not already used by other ppp interface. In case user does not specify ppp unit id then kernel choose the first free ppp unit id. This applies also for case when creating ppp interface via rtnl method as it does not provide a way for specifying own ppp unit id. If some network interface (does not have to be ppp) has name "ppp<id>" with this first free ppp id then PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl or rtnl call fails. And registering new ppp interface is not possible anymore, until interface which holds conflicting name is renamed. Or when using rtnl method with custom interface name in IFLA_IFNAME. As list of allocated / used ppp unit ids is not possible to retrieve from kernel to userspace, userspace has no idea what happens nor which interface is doing this conflict. So change the algorithm how ppp unit id is generated. And choose the first number which is not neither used as ppp unit id nor in some network interface with pattern "ppp<id>". This issue can be simply reproduced by following pppd call when there is no ppp interface registered and also no interface with name pattern "ppp<id>": pppd ifname ppp1 +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach pty "pppd +ipv6 noip noauth nolock local nodetach notty" Or by creating the one ppp interface (which gets assigned ppp unit id 0), renaming it to "ppp1" and then trying to create a new ppp interface (which will always fails as next free ppp unit id is 1, but network interface with name "ppp1" exists). This patch fixes above described issue by generating new and new ppp unit id until some non-conflicting id with network interfaces is generated.

IFLA_IFNAME is nul-term string which means that IFLA_IFNAME buffer can be larger than length of string which contains. Function __rtnl_newlink() generates new own ifname if either IFLA_IFNAME was not specified at all or userspace passed empty nul-term string. It is expected that if userspace does not specify ifname for new ppp netdev then kernel generates one in format "ppp<id>" where id matches to the ppp unit id which can be later obtained by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. And it works in this way if IFLA_IFNAME is not specified at all. But it does not work when IFLA_IFNAME is specified with empty string. So fix this logic also for empty IFLA_IFNAME in ppp_nl_newlink() function and correctly generates ifname based on ppp unit identifier if userspace did not provided preferred ifname. Without this patch when IFLA_IFNAME was specified with empty string then kernel created a new ppp interface in format "ppp<id>" but id did not match ppp unit id returned by PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. In this case id was some number generated by __rtnl_newlink() function.

The 2nd fix is to use a different register window to read the PHC to avoid conflict with an older Broadcom tool. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
