net: usb: pegasus: enable basic endpoint checking

2026-03-04T12:20:41Z

[ Upstream commit 3d7e6ce34f4fcc7083510c28b17a7c36462a25d4 ] pegasus_probe() fills URBs with hardcoded endpoint pipes without verifying the endpoint descriptors: - usb_rcvbulkpipe(dev, 1) for RX data - usb_sndbulkpipe(dev, 2) for TX data - usb_rcvintpipe(dev, 3) for status interrupts A malformed USB device can present these endpoints with transfer types that differ from what the driver assumes. Add a pegasus_usb_ep enum for endpoint numbers, replacing magic constants throughout. Add usb_check_bulk_endpoints() and usb_check_int_endpoints() calls before any resource allocation to verify endpoint types before use, rejecting devices with mismatched descriptors at probe time, and avoid triggering assertion.

net: usb: lan78xx: scan all MDIO addresses on LAN7801

2026-03-04T12:20:39Z

[ Upstream commit f1e2f0ce704e4a14e3f367d3b97d3dd2d8e183b7 ] The LAN7801 is designed exclusively for external PHYs (unlike the LAN7800/LAN7850 which have internal PHYs), but lan78xx_mdio_init() restricts PHY scanning to MDIO addresses 0-7 by setting phy_mask to ~(0xFF). This prevents discovery of external PHYs wired to addresses outside that range. One such case is the DP83TC814 100BASE-T1 PHY, which is typically configured at MDIO address 10 via PHYAD bootstrap pins and goes undetected with the current mask. Remove the restrictive phy_mask assignment for the LAN7801 so that the default mask of 0 applies, allowing all 32 MDIO addresses to be scanned during bus registration.

net: usb: kaweth: remove TX queue manipulation in kaweth_set_rx_mode

2026-03-04T12:20:39Z

[ Upstream commit 64868f5ecadeb359a49bc4485bfa7c497047f13a ] kaweth_set_rx_mode(), the ndo_set_rx_mode callback, calls netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue(). These are TX queue flow control functions unrelated to RX multicast configuration. The premature netif_wake_queue() can re-enable TX while tx_urb is still in-flight, leading to a double usb_submit_urb() on the same URB: kaweth_start_xmit() { netif_stop_queue(); usb_submit_urb(kaweth->tx_urb); } kaweth_set_rx_mode() { netif_stop_queue(); netif_wake_queue(); // wakes TX queue before URB is done } kaweth_start_xmit() { netif_stop_queue(); usb_submit_urb(kaweth->tx_urb); // URB submitted while active } This triggers the WARN in usb_submit_urb(): "URB submitted while active" This is a similar class of bug fixed in rtl8150 by - commit 958baf5eaee3 ("net: usb: Remove disruptive netif_wake_queue in rtl8150_set_multicast"). Also kaweth_set_rx_mode() is already functionally broken, the real set_rx_mode action is performed by kaweth_async_set_rx_mode(), which in turn is not a no-op only at ndo_open() time.

net: usb: sr9700: remove code to drive nonexistent multicast filter

2026-03-04T12:20:29Z

[ Upstream commit 9a9424c756feee9ee6e717405a9d6fa7bacdef08 ] Several registers referenced in this driver's source code do not actually exist (they are not writable and read as zero in my testing). They exist in this driver because it originated as a copy of the dm9601 driver. Notably, these include the multicast filter registers - this causes the driver to not support multicast packets correctly. Remove the multicast filter code and register definitions. Instead, set the chip to receive all multicast filter packets when any multicast addresses are in the list.

usbnet: limit max_mtu based on device's hard_mtu

2026-02-06T15:44:09Z

[ Upstream commit c7159e960f1472a5493ac99aff0086ab1d683594 ] The usbnet driver initializes net->max_mtu to ETH_MAX_MTU before calling the device's bind() callback. When the bind() callback sets dev->hard_mtu based the device's actual capability (from CDC Ethernet's wMaxSegmentSize descriptor), max_mtu is never updated to reflect this hardware limitation). This allows userspace (DHCP or IPv6 RA) to configure MTU larger than the device can handle, leading to silent packet drops when the backend sends packet exceeding the device's buffer size. Fix this by limiting net->max_mtu to the device's hard_mtu after the bind callback returns.

net: usb: dm9601: remove broken SR9700 support

2026-02-06T15:44:04Z

[ Upstream commit 7d7dbafefbe74f5a25efc4807af093b857a7612e ] The SR9700 chip sends more than one packet in a USB transaction, like the DM962x chips can optionally do, but the dm9601 driver does not support this mode, and the hardware does not have the DM962x MODE_CTL register to disable it, so this driver drops packets on SR9700 devices. The sr9700 driver correctly handles receiving more than one packet per transaction. While the dm9601 driver could be improved to handle this, the easiest way to fix this issue in the short term is to remove the SR9700 device ID from the dm9601 driver so the sr9700 driver is always used. This device ID should not have been in more than one driver to begin with. The "Fixes" commit was chosen so that the patch is automatically included in all kernels that have the sr9700 driver, even though the issue affects dm9601.
