igb: fix link test skipping when interface is admin down

2025-09-09T16:48:30Z

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.

igb: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ethtool loopback test

2025-09-09T16:48:30Z

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.

igb: xsk: solve negative overflow of nb_pkts in zerocopy mode

2025-07-26T18:23:09Z

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 < 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.

New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039c0 ("net: add NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is time to convert the Intel igb driver to the new API, so that timestamping configuration can be removed from the ndo_eth_ioctl() path completely.

time/timecounter: Fix the lie that struct cyclecounter is const

2025-07-01T13:38:25Z

In both the read callback for struct cyclecounter, and in struct timecounter, struct cyclecounter is declared as a const pointer. Unfortunatly, a number of users of this pointer treat it as a non-const pointer as it is burried in a larger structure that is heavily modified by the callback function when accessed. This lie had been hidden by the fact that container_of() "casts away" a const attribute of a pointer without any compiler warning happening at all. Fix this all up by removing the const attribute in the needed places so that everyone can see that the structure really isn't const, but can, and is, modified by the users of it.

igb: Get rid of spurious interrupts

2025-04-29T22:13:43Z

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").
