net: spacemit: Make stats_lock softirq-safe
While most of the statistics functions (emac_get_stats64() and such) are
called with softirqs enabled, emac_stats_timer() is, as its name
suggests, also called from a timer, i.e. called in softirq context.
All of these take stats_lock. Therefore, make stats_lock softirq-safe by
changing spin_lock() into spin_lock_bh() for the functions that get
statistics.
Also, instead of directly calling emac_stats_timer() in emac_up() and
emac_resume(), set the timer to trigger instead, so that
emac_stats_timer() is only called from the timer. It will keep using
spin_lock().
This fixes a lockdep warning, and potential deadlock when stats_timer is

net: netpoll: remove dead code and speed up rtnl-locked region
This patchset introduces two minor modernizations to the netpoll
infrastructure:
The first patch removes the unused netpoll pointer from the netpoll_info

multi-instance setups, as reported by Jay Vosburgh. Eliminating it cleans up
the structure and removes unnecessary code.
The second patch updates the netpoll resource cleanup routine to use
synchronize_net() instead of synchronize_rcu(). As __netpoll_free() is always
called under the RTNL lock, using synchronize_net() leverages the more
efficient synchronize_rcu_expedited() in these contexts, reducing time spent in
critical sections and improving performance.
Both changes simplify maintenance and enhance efficiency without altering
netpoll behavior.

Replace synchronize_rcu() with synchronize_net() in __netpoll_free().
synchronize_net() is RTNL-aware and will use the more efficient

the potentially expensive synchronize_rcu() in RTNL critical sections.
Since __netpoll_free() is called with RTNL held (as indicated by

time spent in the RTNL critical section.

The dwmac core supports a range of interfaces, but when it comes to
SerDes interfaces, the core itself does not include the SerDes block.
Consequently, it has to provide an interface suitable to interface such
a block to, and uses TBI for this.
The driver also uses "PCS" for RGMII, even though the dwmac PCS block
is not present for this interface type - it was a convenice for the
code structure as RGMII includes inband signalling of the PHY state,
much like Cisco SGMII does at a high level.
As such, the code refers to RGMII and SGMII modes for the PCS, and
there used to be STMMAC_PCS_TBI and STMMAC_PCS_RTBI constants as well
but these were never set, although they were used in the code.
The selection of the PCS mode was from mac_interface. Thus, it seems
that the original intention was for mac_interface to describe the
interface mode used within the dwmac core, and phy_interface to
describe the external world-accessible interface (e.g. which would
connect to a PHY or SFP cage.)
It appears that many glue drivers misinterpret these. A good exmple
is socfpga. This supports SGMII and 1000BASE-X, but does not include
the dwmac PCS, relying on the Lynx PCS instead. However, it makes use
of mac_interface to configure the dwmac core to its GMII/MII mode.
So, when operating in either of these modes, the dwmac is configured
for GMII mode to communicate with the Lynx PCS which then provides
the SGMII or 1000BASE-X interface mode to the external world.
Given that phy_interface is the external world interface, and
mac_interface is the dwmac core interface, selecting the interface
mode based on mac_interface being 1000BASEX makes no sense.
Moreover, mac_interface is initialised by the stmmac core code. If
the "mac-mode" property is set in DT, this will be used. Otherwise,
it will reflect the "phy-mode" property - meaning that it defaults
to phy_interface. As no in-kernel DT makes reference to a "mac-mode"
property, we can assume that for all in-kernel platforms, these two
interface variables are the same. The exception are those platform
glues which I reviwed and suggested they use phy_interface, setting
mac_interface to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA.
The conclusion to all of this is that mac_interface serves no useful
purpose, and causes confusion as the platform glue code doesn't seem
to know which one should be used.
Thus, let's get rid of mac_interface, which makes all this code more
understandable. It also helps to untangle some of the questions such
as:
- should this be using the interface passed from phylink
- should we set the range of phylink supported interfaces to be
more than one
- when we get phylink PCS support for the dwmac PCS, should we be
selecting it based on mac_interface or phy_interface, and how
should we populate the PCS' supported_interface bitmap.
Having converted socfpga to use phy_interface, this turns out to
feel like "the right way" to do this - convert the external world
"phy_interface" to whatever phy_intf_sel value that the dwmac core
needs to achieve the connection to whatever hardware blocks are
integrated inside the SoC to achieve the requested external world
interface.
As an illustration why - consider that in the case of socfpga, it
_could_ have been implemented such that the dwmac PCS was used for
SGMII, and the Lynx PCS for 1000BASE-X, or vice versa. Only the
platform glue would know which it is.
I will also note that several cores provide their currently configured
interface mode via the ACTPHYIF field of Hardware Feature 0, and thus
can be read back in the platform-independent parts of the driver to
decide whether the internal PCS or the RGMII (or actually SMII) "PCS"
should be used.
This is hot-off-the-press, and has only been build tested. As I have
none of these platforms, this series has not been run-tested, so
please test on your hardware.

When using IPsec crypto offload, the hardware decrypts the packet
payload but preserves the ESP header. This prevents the standard RSS

the RSS hash is calculated only on the outer L3 IP headers, causing
all traffic for a given IPsec tunnel to be directed to a single queue,
leading to poor traffic distribution.
Newer firmware introduces the ability to match on l4_type_ext, which
exposes the L4 protocol type following an ESP header. This allows the
driver to create steering rules that can identify the inner protocols
of decrypted packets.
This commit leverages this new capability to improve traffic
distribution. It adds two new flow groups to steer decrypted packets

the default ESP TIR.
This patch updates the design to allow RSS after decryption. For ESP
traffic, SPI and IP addresses are the fields selected for RSS hash,
and it's common that only one SPI is configured in RX direction, so
RSS can't work properly as all the packets are hashed to one key in
this case. To take advantage of RSS and improve performance, the
decrypted packets need to be forwarded back to TTC table, where RSS

net/mlx5: Change TTC rules to match on undecrypted ESP packets
The TTC (Traffic Type Classifier) table classifies the traffic and
steers packet to TIRs, where RSS works based on the hash calculated
from the selected packet fields. For AH/ESP packets, SPI and IP
addresses are the fields used to calculate the hash value for RSS. So,
it's hard to distribute packets to different receiving queues as there
is usually only one SPI in that direction.
IPSec hardware offloads, crypto offload and full (packet) offload were
introduced later. For crypto offload, hardware does encryption,
decryption and authentication, kernel does the others. Kernel always
sends/receives formatted ESP packets with plaintext data instead of
the ciphertext data, all other fields are unmodified. For full
offload, hardware will take care of almost everything, kernel just
sends/receives packets without any IPSec headers.
Currently, all packets with ESP protocols are forwarded to IPSec
offload tables if IPSec rules are configured. In a downstream patch,
the decrypted packets will be recirculated to TTC table, in order to
use RSS, which does the hash on L4 fields after IPSec headers are
stripped by full offload. So those packets handled by crypto offload
must filtered out, as they still have the ESP headers, but apparently
no need to be decrypted again. To do that, ipsec_next_header is added
for the packet matching, as it is valid only after passing through
IPSec decryption.
Fix typo in PPE_IP_PROTO_CHK_IPV4_MASK and PPE_IP_PROTO_CHK_IPV6_MASK
register mask definitions. This is not a real problem since this
register is not actually used in the current codebase.

r8169: set EEE speed down ratio to 1
EEE speed down means speed down MAC MCU clock. It is not from spec.
It is kind of Realtek specific power saving feature. But enable it
may cause some issues, like packet drop or interrupt loss. Different
hardware may have different issues.
EEE speed down ratio (mac ocp 0xe056[7:4]) is used to set EEE speed
down rate. The larger this value is, the more power can save. But it
actually save less power then we expected. And, as mentioned above,
will impact compatibility. So set it to 1 (mac ocp 0xe056[7:4] = 0)
, which means not to speed down, to improve compatibility.
mptcp: reset blackhole on success with non-loopback ifaces
When a first MPTCP connection gets successfully established after a
blackhole period, 'active_disable_times' was supposed to be reset when
this connection was done via any non-loopback interfaces.
Unfortunately, the opposite condition was checked: only reset when the
connection was established via a loopback interface. Fixing this by
simply looking at the opposite.
This is similar to what is done with TCP FastOpen, see
tcp_fastopen_active_disable_ofo_check().
This patch is a follow-up of a previous discussion linked to commit 893c49a78d9f ("mptcp: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in
mptcp_active_enable()."), see [1].

net: sparx5/lan969x: Add support for ethtool pause parameters
Implement get_pauseparam() and set_pauseparam() ethtool operations for
Sparx5 ports. This allows users to query and configure IEEE 802.3x
pause frame settings via:
ethtool -a ethX
ethtool -A ethX rx on|off tx on|off autoneg on|off
The driver delegates pause parameter handling to phylink through
phylink_ethtool_get_pauseparam() and phylink_ethtool_set_pauseparam().
The underlying configuration of pause frame generation and reception is
already implemented in the driver; this patch only wires it up to the
standard ethtool interface, making the feature accessible to userspace.
net: phy: micrel: Add Fast link failure support for lan8842
Add support for fast link failure for lan8842, when this is enabled the
PHY will detect link down immediately (~1ms). The disadvantage of this
is that also small instability might be reported as link down.
Therefore add this feature as a tunable configuration and the user will
know when to enable or not. By default it is not enabled.
net: phy: clear link parameters on admin link down
When a PHY is halted (e.g. `ip link set dev lan2 down`), several
fields in struct phy_device may still reflect the last active
connection. This leads to ethtool showing stale values even though
the link is down.
Reset selected fields in _phy_state_machine() when transitioning
to PHY_HALTED and the link was previously up:
- speed/duplex -> UNKNOWN, but only in autoneg mode (in forced mode
these fields carry configuration, not status)
- master_slave_state -> UNKNOWN if previously supported
- mdix -> INVALID (state only, same meaning as "unknown")
- lp_advertising -> always cleared
The cleanup is skipped if the PHY is in PHY_ERROR state, so the
last values remain available for diagnostics.

octeontx2-pf: Fix use-after-free bugs in otx2_sync_tstamp()
The original code relies on cancel_delayed_work() in otx2_ptp_destroy(),
which does not ensure that the delayed work item synctstamp_work has fully
completed if it was already running. This leads to use-after-free scenarios
where otx2_ptp is deallocated by otx2_ptp_destroy(), while synctstamp_work
remains active and attempts to dereference otx2_ptp in otx2_sync_tstamp().
Furthermore, the synctstamp_work is cyclic, the likelihood of triggering
the bug is nonnegligible.
A typical race condition is illustrated below:
CPU 0 (cleanup) | CPU 1 (delayed work callback)
otx2_remove() |
otx2_ptp_destroy() | otx2_sync_tstamp()
cancel_delayed_work() |
kfree(ptp) |
| ptp = container_of(...); //UAF
| ptp-> //UAF
Replace cancel_delayed_work() with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure
that the delayed work item is properly canceled before the otx2_ptp is
deallocated.
This bug was initially identified through static analysis. To reproduce
and test it, I simulated the OcteonTX2 PCI device in QEMU and introduced
artificial delays within the otx2_sync_tstamp() function to increase the
likelihood of triggering the bug.

The original code uses cancel_delayed_work() in cnic_cm_stop_bnx2x_hw(),
which does not guarantee that the delayed work item 'delete_task' has
fully completed if it was already running. Additionally, the delayed work
item is cyclic, the flush_workqueue() in cnic_cm_stop_bnx2x_hw() only
blocks and waits for work items that were already queued to the
workqueue prior to its invocation. Any work items submitted after
flush_workqueue() is called are not included in the set of tasks that the
flush operation awaits. This means that after the cyclic work items have
finished executing, a delayed work item may still exist in the workqueue.
This leads to use-after-free scenarios where the cnic_dev is deallocated
by cnic_free_dev(), while delete_task remains active and attempt to
dereference cnic_dev in cnic_delete_task().
A typical race condition is illustrated below:
CPU 0 (cleanup) | CPU 1 (delayed work callback)
cnic_netdev_event() |
cnic_stop_hw() | cnic_delete_task()
cnic_cm_stop_bnx2x_hw() | ...

flush_workqueue() | executes after flush_workqueue()*/
| queue_delayed_work()
cnic_free_dev(dev)//free | cnic_delete_task() //new instance
| dev = cp->dev; //use
Replace cancel_delayed_work() with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure
that the cyclic delayed work item is properly canceled and that any
ongoing execution of the work item completes before the cnic_dev is
deallocated. Furthermore, since cancel_delayed_work_sync() uses
__flush_work(work, true) to synchronously wait for any currently
executing instance of the work item to finish, the flush_workqueue()
becomes redundant and should be removed.
This bug was identified through static analysis. To reproduce the issue
and validate the fix, I simulated the cnic PCI device in QEMU and
introduced intentional delays — such as inserting calls to ssleep()
within the cnic_delete_task() function — to increase the likelihood
of triggering the bug.

This patchset introduces a new dedicated ethtool_ops callback,
.get_rx_ring_count, which enables drivers to provide the number of RX
rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX ring queries and
RSS configuration.
Number of drivers implements .get_rxnfc callback just to report the ring
count, so, having a proper callback makes sense and simplify .get_rxnfc
(in some cases remove it completely).
This has been suggested by Jakub, and follow the same idea as RXFH
driver callbacks [1].
This also port virtio_net to this new callback. Once there is consensus
on this approach, I can start moving the drivers to this new callback.
net: virtio_net: add get_rxrings ethtool callback for RX ring queries
Replace the existing virtnet_get_rxnfc callback with a dedicated
virtnet_get_rxrings implementation to provide the number of RX rings
directly via the new ethtool_ops get_rx_ring_count pointer.
This simplifies the RX ring count retrieval and aligns virtio_net with
the new ethtool API for querying RX ring parameters.
net: ethtool: use the new helper in rss_set_prep_indir()
Refactor rss_set_prep_indir() to utilize the new
ethtool_get_rx_ring_count() helper for determining the number of RX
rings, replacing the direct use of get_rxnfc with ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS.
This ensures compatibility with both legacy and new ethtool_ops
interfaces by transparently multiplexing between them.
net: ethtool: update set_rxfh_indir to use ethtool_get_rx_ring_count helper
Modify ethtool_set_rxfh() to use the new ethtool_get_rx_ring_count()
helper function for retrieving the number of RX rings instead of
directly calling get_rxnfc with ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS.
This way, we can leverage the new helper if it is available in ethtool_ops.
net: ethtool: update set_rxfh to use ethtool_get_rx_ring_count helper
Modify ethtool_set_rxfh() to use the new ethtool_get_rx_ring_count()
helper function for retrieving the number of RX rings instead of
directly calling get_rxnfc with ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS.

net: ethtool: add get_rx_ring_count callback to optimize RX ring queries
Add a new optional get_rx_ring_count callback in ethtool_ops to allow
drivers to provide the number of RX rings directly without going through
the full get_rxnfc flow classification interface.
Create ethtool_get_rx_ring_count() to use .get_rx_ring_count if
available, falling back to get_rxnfc() otherwise. It needs to be
non-static, given it will be called by other ethtool functions laters,
as those calling get_rxfh().
net: ethtool: add support for ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS ioctl
This patch adds handling for the ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS ioctl command in the
ethtool ioctl dispatcher. It introduces a new helper function
ethtool_get_rxrings() that calls the driver's get_rxnfc() callback with
appropriate parameters to retrieve the number of RX rings supported
by the device.
By explicitly handling ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS, userspace queries through
ethtool can now obtain RX ring information in a structured manner.
In this patch, ethtool_get_rxrings() is a simply copy of
ethtool_get_rxnfc().
net: ethtool: pass the num of RX rings directly to ethtool_copy_validate_indir
Modify ethtool_copy_validate_indir() and callers to validate indirection
table entries against the number of RX rings as an integer instead of
accessing rx_rings->data.

not exist for native GRXRINGS call.
