[ Upstream commit 23a5b9b12de9dcd15ebae4f1abc8814ec1c51ab0 ]

Improve the cleanup on releasing PTP resources in error path.
The error case might happen either at the driver probe and PTP
feature initialization or on PTP restart (errors in reset handling, NVM
update etc). In both cases, calls to PF PTP cleanup (ice_ptp_cleanup_pf
function) and 'ps_lock' mutex deinitialization were missed.
Additionally, ptp clock was not unregistered in the latter case.

Keep PTP state as 'uninitialized' on init to distinguish between error
scenarios and to avoid resource release duplication at driver removal.

The consequence of missing ice_ptp_cleanup_pf call is the following call
trace dumped when ice_adapter object is freed (port list is not empty,
as it is required at this stage):

[ Upstream commit 66ceb45b7d7e9673254116eefe5b6d3a44eba267 ]

In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.

Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and
easier to reason about.
There are still a few users of %pK left, but these use it through seq_file,
for which its usage is safe.

When ice_adapter_new() fails, the reserved XArray entry created by

<title>ice: fix Rx page leak on multi-buffer frames</title>
<updated>2025-09-16T21:01:46Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Jacob Keller</name>
</author>
<published>2025-08-25T23:00:14Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=84bf1ac85af84d354c7a2fdbdc0d4efc8aaec34b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:84bf1ac85af84d354c7a2fdbdc0d4efc8aaec34b</id>
<content type='text'>
The ice_put_rx_mbuf() function handles calling ice_put_rx_buf() for each
buffer in the current frame. This function was introduced as part of
handling multi-buffer XDP support in the ice driver.

It works by iterating over the buffers from first_desc up to 1 plus the
total number of fragments in the frame, cached from before the XDP program
was executed.

If the hardware posts a descriptor with a size of 0, the logic used in
ice_put_rx_mbuf() breaks. Such descriptors get skipped and don't get added
as fragments in ice_add_xdp_frag. Since the buffer isn't counted as a
fragment, we do not iterate over it in ice_put_rx_mbuf(), and thus we don't
call ice_put_rx_buf().

Because we don't call ice_put_rx_buf(), we don't attempt to re-use the
page or free it. This leaves a stale page in the ring, as we don't
increment next_to_alloc.

The ice_reuse_rx_page() assumes that the next_to_alloc has been incremented
properly, and that it always points to a buffer with a NULL page. Since
this function doesn't check, it will happily recycle a page over the top
of the next_to_alloc buffer, losing track of the old page.

Note that this leak only occurs for multi-buffer frames. The
ice_put_rx_mbuf() function always handles at least one buffer, so a
single-buffer frame will always get handled correctly. It is not clear
precisely why the hardware hands us descriptors with a size of 0 sometimes,
but it happens somewhat regularly with "jumbo frames" used by 9K MTU.

To fix ice_put_rx_mbuf(), we need to make sure to call ice_put_rx_buf() on
all buffers between first_desc and next_to_clean. Borrow the logic of a
similar function in i40e used for this same purpose. Use the same logic
also in ice_get_pgcnts().

Instead of iterating over just the number of fragments, use a loop which
iterates until the current index reaches to the next_to_clean element just
past the current frame. Unlike i40e, the ice_put_rx_mbuf() function does
call ice_put_rx_buf() on the last buffer of the frame indicating the end of
packet.

For non-linear (multi-buffer) frames, we need to take care when adjusting
the pagecnt_bias. An XDP program might release fragments from the tail of
the frame, in which case that fragment page is already released. Only
update the pagecnt_bias for the first descriptor and fragments still
remaining post-XDP program. Take care to only access the shared info for
fragmented buffers, as this avoids a significant cache miss.

The xdp_xmit value only needs to be updated if an XDP program is run, and
only once per packet. Drop the xdp_xmit pointer argument from
ice_put_rx_mbuf(). Instead, set xdp_xmit in the ice_clean_rx_irq() function
directly. This avoids needing to pass the argument and avoids an extra
bit-wise OR for each buffer in the frame.

Move the increment of the ntc local variable to ensure its updated *before*
all calls to ice_get_pgcnts() or ice_put_rx_mbuf(), as the loop logic
requires the index of the element just after the current frame.

Now that we use an index pointer in the ring to identify the packet, we no
longer need to track or cache the number of fragments in the rx_ring.

<title>ice: fix NULL access of tx-&gt;in_use in ice_ll_ts_intr</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6486338fde3f04ed0ec59fe67a69a208c32734f</id>
<content type='text'>
Recent versions of the E810 firmware have support for an extra interrupt to
handle report of the "low latency" Tx timestamps coming from the
specialized low latency firmware interface. Instead of polling the
registers, software can wait until the low latency interrupt is fired.

This logic makes use of the Tx timestamp tracking structure, ice_ptp_tx, as
it uses the same "ready" bitmap to track which Tx timestamps complete.

Unfortunately, the ice_ll_ts_intr() function does not check if the
tracker is initialized before its first access. This results in NULL
dereference or use-after-free bugs similar to the issues fixed in the
ice_ptp_ts_irq() function.

Fix this by only checking the in_use bitmap (and other fields) if the
tracker is marked as initialized. The reset flow will clear the init field
under lock before it tears the tracker down, thus preventing any
use-after-free or NULL access.

<content type='text'>
The E810 device has support for a "low latency" firmware interface to
access and read the Tx timestamps. This interface does not use the standard
Tx timestamp logic, due to the latency overhead of proxying sideband
command requests over the firmware AdminQ.

The logic still makes use of the Tx timestamp tracking structure,
ice_ptp_tx, as it uses the same "ready" bitmap to track which Tx
timestamps complete.

Unfortunately, the ice_ptp_ts_irq() function does not check if the tracker
is initialized before its first access. This results in NULL dereference or
use-after-free bugs similar to the following:

[245977.278756] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
[245977.278774] RIP: 0010:_find_first_bit+0x19/0x40
[245977.278796] Call Trace:

This can occur if a Tx timestamp interrupt races with the driver reset
logic.

Fix this by only checking the in_use bitmap (and other fields) if the
tracker is marked as initialized. The reset flow will clear the init field
under lock before it tears the tracker down, thus preventing any
use-after-free or NULL access.

Currently, the driver increments `alloc_page_failed` when buffer allocation fails
in `ice_clean_rx_irq()`. However, this counter is intended for page allocation
failures, not buffer allocation issues.

This patch corrects the counter by incrementing `alloc_buf_failed` instead,
ensuring accurate statistics reporting for buffer allocation failures.

<title>ice: use fixed adapter index for E825C embedded devices</title>
<updated>2025-08-25T16:45:23Z</updated>
<author>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=5c5e5b52bf05c7fe88768318c041052c5fac36b8'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5c5e5b52bf05c7fe88768318c041052c5fac36b8</id>
<content type='text'>
The ice_adapter structure is used by the ice driver to connect multiple
physical functions of a device in software. It was introduced by
commit 0e2bddf9e5f9 ("ice: add ice_adapter for shared data across PFs on
the same NIC") and is primarily used for PTP support, as well as for
handling certain cross-PF synchronization.

The original design of ice_adapter used PCI address information to
determine which devices should be connected. This was extended to support
E825C devices by commit fdb7f54700b1 ("ice: Initial support for E825C
hardware in ice_adapter"), which used the device ID for E825C devices
instead of the PCI address.

Later, commit 0093cb194a75 ("ice: use DSN instead of PCI BDF for
ice_adapter index") replaced the use of Bus/Device/Function addressing with
use of the device serial number.

E825C devices may appear in "Dual NAC" configuration which has multiple
physical devices tied to the same clock source and which need to use the
same ice_adapter. Unfortunately, each "NAC" has its own NVM which has its
own unique Device Serial Number. Thus, use of the DSN for connecting
ice_adapter does not work properly. It "worked" in the pre-production
systems because the DSN was not initialized on the test NVMs and all the
NACs had the same zero'd serial number.

Since we cannot rely on the DSN, lets fall back to the logic in the
original E825C support which used the device ID. This is safe for E825C
only because of the embedded nature of the device. It isn't a discreet
adapter that can be plugged into an arbitrary system. All E825C devices on
a given system are connected to the same clock source and need to be
configured through the same PTP clock.

To make this separation clear, reserve bit 63 of the 64-bit index values as
a "fixed index" indicator. Always clear this bit when using the device
serial number as an index.

For E825C, use a fixed value defined as the 0x579C E825C backplane device
ID bitwise ORed with the fixed index indicator. This is slightly different
than the original logic of just using the device ID directly. Doing so
prevents a potential issue with systems where only one of the NACs is
connected with an external PHY over SGMII. In that case, one NAC would
have the E825C_SGMII device ID, but the other would not.

Separate the determination of the full 64-bit index from the 32-bit
reduction logic. Provide both ice_adapter_index() and a wrapping
ice_adapter_xa_index() which handles reducing the index to a long on 32-bit
systems. As before, cache the full index value in the adapter structure to
warn about collisions.

This fixes issues with E825C not initializing PTP on both NACs, due to
failure to connect the appropriate devices to the same ice_adapter.

<title>ice: don't leave device non-functional if Tx scheduler config fails</title>

<id>urn:sha1:86aae43f21cf784c1d7f6a9af93e5116b0f232ab</id>
<content type='text'>
The ice_cfg_tx_topo function attempts to apply Tx scheduler topology
configuration based on NVM parameters, selecting either a 5 or 9 layer
topology.

As part of this flow, the driver acquires the "Global Configuration Lock",
which is a hardware resource associated with programming the DDP package
to the device. This "lock" is implemented by firmware as a way to
guarantee that only one PF can program the DDP for a device. Unlike a
traditional lock, once a PF has acquired this lock, no other PF will be
able to acquire it again (including that PF) until a CORER of the device.
Future requests to acquire the lock report that global configuration has
already completed.

The following flow is used to program the Tx topology:

 * Read the DDP package for scheduler configuration data
 * Acquire the global configuration lock
 * Program Tx scheduler topology according to DDP package data
 * Trigger a CORER which clears the global configuration lock

This is followed by the flow for programming the DDP package:

 * Acquire the global configuration lock (again)
 * Download the DDP package to the device
 * Release the global configuration lock.

However, if configuration of the Tx topology fails, (i.e.
ice_get_set_tx_topo returns an error code), the driver exits
ice_cfg_tx_topo() immediately, and fails to trigger CORER.

While the global configuration lock is held, the firmware rejects most
AdminQ commands, as it is waiting for the DDP package download (or Tx
scheduler topology programming) to occur.

The current driver flows assume that the global configuration lock has been
reset by CORER after programming the Tx topology. Thus, the same PF
attempts to acquire the global lock again, and fails. This results in the
driver reporting "an unknown error occurred when loading the DDP package".
It then attempts to enter safe mode, but ultimately fails to finish
ice_probe() since nearly all AdminQ command report error codes, and the
driver stops loading the device at some point during its initialization.

The only currently known way that ice_get_set_tx_topo() can fail is with
certain older DDP packages which contain invalid topology configuration, on
firmware versions which strictly validate this data. The most recent
releases of the DDP have resolved the invalid data. However, it is still
poor practice to essentially brick the device, and prevent access to the
device even through safe mode or recovery mode. It is also plausible that
this command could fail for some other reason in the future.

We cannot simply release the global lock after a failed call to
ice_get_set_tx_topo(). Releasing the lock indicates to firmware that global
configuration (downloading of the DDP) has completed. Future attempts by
this or other PFs to load the DDP will fail with a report that the DDP
package has already been downloaded. Then, PFs will enter safe mode as they
realize that the package on the device does not meet the minimum version
requirement to load. The reported error messages are confusing, as they
indicate the version of the default "safe mode" package in the NVM, rather
than the version of the file loaded from /lib/firmware.

Instead, we need to trigger CORER to clear global configuration. This is
the lowest level of hardware reset which clears the global configuration
lock and related state. It also clears any already downloaded DDP.
Crucially, it does *not* clear the Tx scheduler topology configuration.

Refactor ice_cfg_tx_topo() to always trigger a CORER after acquiring the
global lock, regardless of success or failure of the topology
configuration.

We need to re-initialize the HW structure when we trigger the CORER. Thus,
it makes sense for this to be the responsibility of ice_cfg_tx_topo()
rather than its caller, ice_init_tx_topology(). This avoids needless
re-initialization in cases where we don't attempt to update the Tx
scheduler topology, such as if it has already been programmed.

There is one catch: failure to re-initialize the HW struct should stop
ice_probe(). If this function fails, we won't have a valid HW structure and
cannot ensure the device is functioning properly. To handle this, ensure
ice_cfg_tx_topo() returns a limited set of error codes. Set aside one
specifically, -ENODEV, to indicate that the ice_init_tx_topology() should
fail and stop probe.

Other error codes indicate failure to apply the Tx scheduler topology. This
is treated as a non-fatal error, with an informational message informing
the system administrator that the updated Tx topology did not apply. This
allows the device to load and function with the default Tx scheduler
topology, rather than failing to load entirely.

Note that this use of CORER will not result in loops with future PFs
attempting to also load the invalid Tx topology configuration. The first PF
will acquire the global configuration lock as part of programming the DDP.
Each PF after this will attempt to acquire the global lock as part of
programming the Tx topology, and will fail with the indication from
firmware that global configuration is already complete. Tx scheduler
topology configuration is only performed during driver init (probe or
devlink reload) and not during cleanup for a CORER that happens after probe
completes.

Issuing a reset when the driver is loaded without RDMA support, will
results in a crash as it attempts to remove RDMA's non-existent auxbus
device:
echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/&lt;if&gt;/device/reset

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

ice_unplug_aux_dev() checks pf-&gt;cdev_info-&gt;adev for NULL pointer, but
pf-&gt;cdev_info will also be NULL, leading to the deref in the trace above.

Introduce a flag to be set when the creation of the auxbus device is
successful, to avoid multiple NULL pointer checks in ice_unplug_aux_dev().
