[ Upstream commit d709f178abca22a4d3642513df29afe4323a594b ]

The igb driver incorrectly skips the link test when the network
interface is admin down (if_running == false), causing the test to
always report PASS regardless of the actual physical link state.

This behavior is inconsistent with other drivers (e.g. i40e, ice, ixgbe,
etc.) which correctly test the physical link state regardless of admin
state.
Remove the if_running check to ensure link test always reflects the
physical link state.

[ Upstream commit 75871a525a596ff4d16c4aebc0018f8d0923c9b1 ]

The igb driver currently causes a NULL pointer dereference when executing
the ethtool loopback test. This occurs because there is no associated
q_vector for the test ring when it is set up, as interrupts are typically
not added to the test rings.

Since commit 5ef44b3cb43b removed the napi_id assignment in
__xdp_rxq_info_reg(), there is no longer a need to pass a napi_id to it.
Therefore, simply use 0 as the last parameter.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 3b7c13dfdcc26a78756cc17a23cdf4310c5a24a9 ]

There is no break time in the while() loop, so every time at the end of
igb_xmit_zc(), negative overflow of nb_pkts will occur, which renders
the return value always false. But theoretically, the result should be
set after calling xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch(). We can take
i40e_xmit_zc() as a good example.

Returning false means we're not done with transmission and we need one
more poll, which is exactly what igb_xmit_zc() always did before this
patch. After this patch, the return value depends on the nb_pkts value.
Two cases might happen then:
1. if (nb_pkts &lt; budget), it means we process all the possible data, so
   return true and no more necessary poll will be triggered because of
   this.
2. if (nb_pkts == budget), it means we might have more data, so return
   false to let another poll run again.

<title>igb: Get rid of spurious interrupts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a22ed15c99a052c6ea015b516acfd7e02bcdb995</id>
<content type='text'>
When running the igc with XDP/ZC in busy polling mode with deferral of hard
interrupts, interrupts still happen from time to time. That is caused by
the igb task watchdog which triggers Rx interrupts periodically.

That mechanism has been introduced to overcome skb/memory allocation
failures [1]. So the Rx clean functions stop processing the Rx ring in case
of such failure. The task watchdog triggers Rx interrupts periodically in
the hope that memory became available in the mean time.

The current behavior is undesirable for real time applications, because the
driver induced Rx interrupts trigger also the softirq processing. However,
all real time packets should be processed by the application which uses the
busy polling method.

Therefore, only trigger the Rx interrupts in case of real allocation
failures. Introduce a new flag for signaling that condition.

Follow the same logic as in commit 8dcf2c212078 ("igc: Get rid of spurious
interrupts").

Link queues to NAPI instances via netdev-genl API. This is required to use
XDP/ZC busy polling. See commit 5ef44b3cb43b ("xsk: Bring back busy polling
support") for details.

This also allows users to query the info with netlink:

|$ ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/netdev.yaml \
|                               --dump queue-get --json='{"ifindex": 2}'
|[{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8201, 'type': 'rx'},
| {'id': 1, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8202, 'type': 'rx'},
| {'id': 2, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8203, 'type': 'rx'},
| {'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8204, 'type': 'rx'},

| {'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 8204, 'type': 'tx'}]

Add rtnl locking to PCI error handlers, because netif_queue_set_napi()
requires the lock held.

While at __igb_open() use RCT coding style.

<title>net: ptp: introduce .supported_extts_flags to ptp_clock_info</title>
<updated>2025-04-16T03:20:57Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Jacob Keller</name>
</author>
<published>2025-04-14T21:26:30Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=7c571ac57d9d97190dcba18212fabf99888b0c48'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7c571ac57d9d97190dcba18212fabf99888b0c48</id>
<content type='text'>
The PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST(2) ioctl has a flags field which specifies how the
external timestamp request should behave. This includes which edge of the
signal to timestamp, as well as a specialized "offset" mode. It is expected
that more flags will be added in the future.

Driver authors routinely do not check the flags, often accepting requests
with flags which they do not support. Even drivers which do check flags may
not be future-proofed to reject flags not yet defined. Thus, any future
flag additions often require manually updating drivers to reject these
flags.

This approach of hoping we catch flag checks during review, or playing
whack-a-mole after the fact is the wrong approach.

Introduce the "supported_extts_flags" field to the ptp_clock_info
structure. This field defines the set of flags the device actually
supports.

Update the core character device logic to check this field and reject
unsupported requests. Getting this right is somewhat tricky. First, to
avoid unnecessary repetition and make basic functionality work when
.supported_extts_flags is 0, the core always accepts the PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE
flag. This flag is used to set the 'on' parameter to the .enable function
and is thus always 'supported' by all drivers.

For backwards compatibility, the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags
are merely "hints" when using the old PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl, and are not
expected to be enforced. If the user issues PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2, the
PTP_STRICT_FLAGS flag is added which is supposed to inform the driver to
strictly validate the flags and reject unsupported requests. To handle
this, first check if the driver reports PTP_STRICT_FLAGS support. If it
does not, then always allow the PTP_RISING_EDGE and PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags.
This keeps backwards compatibility with the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST
ioctl where these flags are not guaranteed to be honored.

This way, drivers which do not set the supported_extts_flags will continue
to accept requests for the original PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl. The core will
automatically reject requests with new flags, and correctly reject requests
with PTP_STRICT_FLAGS, where the driver is supposed to strictly validate
the flags.

Update the various drivers, refactoring their validation logic into the
.supported_extts_flags field. For consistency and readability,
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE is not set in the supported flags list, and
PTP_EXTTS_EDGES is expanded to PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE in all
cases.

Note the following driver files set n_ext_ts to a non-zero value but did
not check flags at all:

 • drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/otx2_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_ptp.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rtsn.h
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpts.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpts.h
 • drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icss_iep.c
 • drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ptp_ixp46x.c
 • drivers/net/phy/bcm-phy-ptp.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_ocp.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_pch.c
 • drivers/ptp/ptp_qoriq.c

These drivers behavior does change slightly: they will now reject the
PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl, because they do not strictly validate their
flags. This also makes them no longer incorrectly accept PTP_EXT_OFFSET.

Also note that the renesas ravb driver does not support PTP_STRICT_FLAGS.
We could leave the .supported_extts_flags as 0, but I added the
PTP_RISING_EDGE | PTP_FALLING_EDGE since the driver previously manually
validated these flags. This is equivalent to 0 because the core will allow
these flags regardless unless PTP_STRICT_FLAGS is also set.
