2026-01-25errata/sifive: remove unreliable warn_miss_errataAndreas Schwab
When both the SiFive and MIPS errata are enabled then sifive_errata_patch_func emits a wrong and misleading warning claiming that the SiFive errata haven't been applied. This happens because sifive_errata_patch_func is being called twice, once for the kernel image and once for the vdso image. The vdso image has alternative entries for the MIPS errata, but none for the SiFive errata.

At the time of configuration, these resources are accessed using vport pointer. Meaning, all the config path functions are tied to the default queue and vector resources of the vport. There are use cases which can make use of config path functions to configure queue and vector resources that are not tied to any vport. One such use case is PTP secondary mailbox creation (it would be in a followup series). To configure queue and interrupt resources for such cases, we can make use of the existing config infrastructure by passing the necessary queue and vector resources info. To achieve this, group the existing queue and vector resources into default resource group and refactor the code to pass the resource pointer to the config path functions. This series also includes patches which generalizes the send virtchnl message APIs and mailbox API that are necessary for the implementation of PTP secondary mailbox. * '200GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue: idpf: generalize mailbox API idpf: avoid calling get_rx_ptypes for each vport idpf: generalize send virtchnl message API idpf: remove vport pointer from queue sets idpf: add rss_data field to RSS function parameters idpf: reshuffle idpf_vport struct members to avoid holes idpf: move some iterator declarations inside for loops idpf: move queue resources to idpf_q_vec_rsrc structure idpf: introduce idpf_q_vec_rsrc struct and move vector resources to it idpf: introduce local idpf structure to store virtchnl queue chunks ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260122223601.2208759-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2026-01-25Merge branch 'net-neighbour-notify-changes-atomically'Jakub Kicinski
Petr Machata says: ==================== net: neighbour: Notify changes atomically Andy Roulin and Francesco Ruggeri have apparently independently both hit an issue with the current neighbor notification scheme. Francesco reported the issue in [1]. In a response[2] to that report, Andy said: neigh_update sends a rtnl notification if an update, e.g., nud_state change, was done but there is no guarantee of ordering of the rtnl notifications. Consider the following scenario: userspace thread kernel thread ================ ============= neigh_update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = STALE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) neigh_notify neigh_fill_info read_lock_bh(n->lock) ndm->nud_state = STALE read_unlock_bh(n->lock) --------------------------> neigh:update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = REACHABLE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) neigh_notify neigh_fill_info read_lock_bh(n->lock) ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE read_unlock_bh(n->lock) rtnl_nofify RTNL REACHABLE sent <-------- rtnl_notify RTNL STALE sent In this scenario, the kernel neigh is updated first to STALE and then REACHABLE but the netlink notifications are sent out of order, first REACHABLE and then STALE. The solution presented in [2] was to extend the critical region to include both the call to neigh_fill_info(), as well as rtnl_notify(). Then we have a guarantee that whatever state was captured by neigh_fill_info(), will be sent right away. The above scenario can thus not happen. This is how this patchset begins: patches #1 and #2 add helper duals to neigh_fill_info() and __neigh_notify() such that the __-prefixed function assumes the neighbor lock is held, and the unprefixed one is a thin wrapper that manages locking. This extends locking further than Andy's patch, but makes for a clear code and supports the following part. At that point, the original race is gone. But what can happen is the following race, where the notification does not reflect the change that was made: userspace thread kernel thread ================ ============= neigh_update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = STALE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) --------------------------> neigh:update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = REACHABLE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) neigh_notify read_lock_bh(n->lock) __neigh_fill_info ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE rtnl_notify read_unlock_bh(n->lock) RTNL REACHABLE sent <-------- neigh_notify read_lock_bh(n->lock) __neigh_fill_info ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE rtnl_notify read_unlock_bh(n->lock) RTNL REACHABLE sent again Here, even though neigh_update() made a change to STALE, it later sends a notification with a NUD of REACHABLE. The obvious solution to fix this race is to move the notifier to the same critical section that actually makes the change. Sending a notification in fact involves two things: invoking the internal notifier chain, and sending the netlink notification. The overall approach in this patchset is to move the netlink notification to the critical section of the change, while keeping the internal notifier intact. Since the motion is not obviously correct, the patchset presents the change in series of incremental steps with discussion in commit messages. Please see details in the patches themselves. Reproducer ========== To consistently reproduce, I injected an mdelay before the rtnl_notify() call. Since only one thread should delay, a bit of instrumentation was needed to see where the call originates. The mdelay was then only issued on the call stack rooted in the RTNL request. Then the general idea is to issue an "ip neigh replace" to mark a neighbor entry as failed. In parallel to that, inject an ARP burst that validates the entry. This is all observed with an "ip monitor neigh", where one can see either a REACHABLE->FAILED transition, or FAILED->REACHABLE, while the actual state at the end of the sequence is always REACHABLE. With the patchset, only FAILED->REACHABLE is ever observed in the monitor. Alternatives ============ Another approach to solving the issue would be to have a per-neighbor queue of notification digests, each with a set of fields necessary for formatting a notification. In pseudocode, a neighbor update would look something like this: neighbor_update: - lock - do update - allocate notification digest, fill partially, mark not-committed - unlock - critical-section-breaking stuff (probes, ARP Q, etc.) - lock - fill in missing details to the digest (notably neigh->probes) - mark the digest as committed - while (front of the digest queue is committed) - pop it, convert to notifier, send the notification - unlock This adds more complexity and would imply more changes to the code, which is why I think the approach presented in this patchset is better. But it would allow us to retain the overall structure of the code while giving us accurate notifications. A third approach would be to consider the second race not very serious and be OK with seeing a notification that does not reflect the change that prompted it. Then a two-patch prefix of this patchset would be all that is needed.

2026-01-25net: core: neighbour: Make another netlink notification atomicallyPetr Machata
Similarly to the issue from the previous patch, neigh_timer_handler() also updates the neighbor separately from formatting and sending the netlink notification message. We have not seen reports to the effect of this causing trouble, but in theory, the same sort of issues could have come up: neigh_timer_handler() would make changes as necessary, but before formatting and sending a notification, is interrupted before sending by another thread, which makes a parallel change and sends its own message. The message send that is prompted by an earlier change thus contains information that does not reflect the change having been made. To solve this, the netlink notification needs to be in the same critical section that updates the neighbor. The critical section is ended by the neigh_probe() call which drops the lock before calling solicit. Stretching the critical section over the solicit call is problematic, because that can then involved all sorts of forwarding callbacks. Therefore, like in the previous patch, split the netlink notification away from the internal one and move it ahead of the probe call.

2026-01-25net: core: neighbour: Make one netlink notification atomicallyPetr Machata
As noted in a previous patch, one race remains in the current code. A kernel thread might interrupt a userspace thread after the change is done, but before formatting and sending the message. Then what we would see is two messages with the same contents: userspace thread kernel thread ================ ============= neigh_update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = STALE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) --------------------------> neigh:update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = REACHABLE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) neigh_notify read_lock_bh(n->lock) __neigh_fill_info ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE rtnl_notify read_unlock_bh(n->lock) RTNL REACHABLE sent <-------- neigh_notify read_lock_bh(n->lock) __neigh_fill_info ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE rtnl_notify read_unlock_bh(n->lock) RTNL REACHABLE sent again The solution is to send the netlink message inside the critical section where the neighbor is changed, so that it reflects the notified-upon neighbor state. To that end, in __neigh_update(), move the current neigh_notify() call up to said critical section, and convert it to __neigh_notify(), because the lock is held. This motion crosses calls to neigh_update_managed_list(), neigh_update_gc_list() and neigh_update_process_arp_queue(), all of which potentially unlock and give an opportunity for the above race. This also crosses a call to neigh_update_process_arp_queue() which calls neigh->output(), which might be neigh_resolve_output() calls neigh_event_send() calls neigh_event_send_probe() calls __neigh_event_send() calls neigh_probe(), which touches neigh->probes, an update which will now not be visible in the notification. However, there is indication that there is no promise that these changes will be accurately projected to notifications: fib6_table_lookup() indirectly calls route.c's find_match() calls rt6_probe(), which looks up a neighbor and call __neigh_set_probe_once(), which sets neigh->probes to 0, but neither this nor the caller seems to send a notification. Additionally, the neighbor object that the neigh_probe() mentioned above is called on, might be the alternative neighbor looked up for the ARP queue packet destination. If that is the case, the changed value of n1->probes is not notified anywhere. So at least in some circumstances, the reported number of probes needs to be assumed to change without notification.

2026-01-25net: core: neighbour: Reorder netlink & internal notificationPetr Machata
The netlink message needs to be send inside the critical section where the neighbor is changed, so that it reflects the notified-upon neighbor state. On the other hand, there is no such need in case of notifier chain: the listeners do not assume lock, and often in fact just schedule a delayed work to act on the neighbor later. At least one in fact also takes the neighbor lock. This requires that the netlink notification be done before the internal notifier chain message is sent. That is safe to do, because the current listeners, as well as __neigh_notify(), only read the updated neighbor fields, and never modify them. (Apart from locking.)

2026-01-25net: core: neighbour: Inline neigh_update_notify() callsPetr Machata
The obvious idea behind the helper is to keep together the two bits that should be done either both or neither: the internal notifier chain message, and the netlink notification. To make sure that the notification sent reflects the change being made, the netlink message needs to be send inside the critical section where the neighbor is changed. But for the notifier chain, there is no such need: the listeners do not assume lock, and often in fact just schedule a delayed work to act on the neighbor later. At least one in fact also takes the neighbor lock. Therefore these two items have each different locking needs. Now we could unlock inside the helper, but I find that error prone, and the fact that the notification is conditional in the first place does not help to make the call site obvious. So in this patch, the helper is instead removed and the body, which is just these two calls, inlined. That way we can use each notifier independently.

2026-01-25net: core: neighbour: Process ARP queue laterPetr Machata
ARP queue processing unlocks the neighbor lock, which can allow another thread to asynchronously perform a neighbor update and send an out of order notification. Therefore this needs to be done after the notification is sent. Move it just before the end of the critical section. Since neigh_update_process_arp_queue() unlocks, it does not form a part of the critical section anymore but it can benefit from the lock being taken. The intention is to eventually do the RTNL notification before this call. This motion crosses a call to neigh_update_is_router(), which should not influence processing of the ARP queue.

2026-01-25net: core: neighbour: Call __neigh_notify() under a lockPetr Machata
Andy Roulin has described an issue with the current neighbor notification scheme as follows. This was also presented publicly at the link below. neigh_update sends a rtnl notification if an update, e.g., nud_state change, was done but there is no guarantee of ordering of the rtnl notifications. Consider the following scenario: userspace thread kernel thread ================ ============= neigh_update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = STALE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) neigh_notify neigh_fill_info read_lock_bh(n->lock) ndm->nud_state = STALE read_unlock_bh(n->lock) --------------------------> neigh:update write_lock_bh(n->lock) n->nud_state = REACHABLE write_unlock_bh(n->lock) neigh_notify neigh_fill_info read_lock_bh(n->lock) ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE read_unlock_bh(n->lock) rtnl_nofify RTNL REACHABLE sent <-------- rtnl_notify RTNL STALE sent In this scenario, the kernel neigh is updated first to STALE and then REACHABLE but the netlink notifications are sent out of order, first REACHABLE and then STALE. The solution is to send the netlink message inside the same critical section that formats the message. That way both the contents and ordering of the message reflect the same state, and we cannot see the abovementioned out-of-order delivery. Even with this patch, a remaining issue that the contents of the message may not reflect the changes made to the neighbor. A kernel thread might still interrupt a userspace thread after the change is done, but before formatting and sending the message. Then what we would see is two messages with the same contents. The following patches will attempt to address that issue. To support those future patches, convert __neigh_notify() to a helper that assumes that the neighbor lock is already taken by having it call __neigh_fill_info() instead of neigh_fill_info(). Add a new helper, neigh_notify(), which takes the lock before calling __neigh_notify(). Migrate all callers to use the latter.

2026-01-25net: wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX pathKery Qi
When receiving data in the DPMAIF RX path, the t7xx_dpmaif_set_frag_to_skb() function adds page fragments to an skb without checking if the number of fragments has exceeded MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This could lead to a buffer overflow in skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] array, corrupting adjacent memory and potentially causing kernel crashes or other undefined behavior. This issue was identified through static code analysis by comparing with a similar vulnerability fixed in the mt76 driver commit b102f0c522cf ("mt76: fix array overflow on receiving too many fragments for a packet"). The vulnerability could be triggered if the modem firmware sends packets with excessive fragments. While under normal protocol conditions (MTU 3080 bytes, BAT buffer 3584 bytes), a single packet should not require additional fragments, the kernel should not blindly trust firmware behavior. Malicious, buggy, or compromised firmware could potentially craft packets with more fragments than the kernel expects. Fix this by adding a bounds check before calling skb_add_rx_frag() to ensure nr_frags does not exceed MAX_SKB_FRAGS. The check must be performed before unmapping to avoid a page leak and double DMA unmap during device teardown.
