net: stmmac: dwmac-motorcomm: fix eFUSE MAC address read failure

2026-04-08T01:21:00+00:00

This patch fixes an issue where reading the MAC address from the eFUSE
fails due to a race condition.

The root cause was identified by comparing the driver's behavior with a
custom U-Boot port. In U-Boot, the MAC address was read successfully
every time because the driver was loaded later in the boot process, giving
the hardware ample time to initialize. In Linux, reading the eFUSE
immediately returns all zeros, resulting in a fallback to a random MAC address.

Hardware cold-boot testing revealed that the eFUSE controller requires a
short settling time to load its internal data. Adding a 2000-5000us
delay after the reset ensures the hardware is fully ready, allowing the
native MAC address to be read consistently.

net: stmmac: Fix PTP ref clock for Tegra234

2026-04-03T23:02:21+00:00

Since commit 030ce919e114 ("net: stmmac: make sure that ptp_rate is not
0 before configuring timestamping") was added the following error is
observed on Tegra234:

 ERR KERN tegra-mgbe 6800000.ethernet eth0: Invalid PTP clock rate
 WARNING KERN tegra-mgbe 6800000.ethernet eth0: PTP init failed

It turns out that the Tegra234 device-tree binding defines the PTP ref
clock name as 'ptp-ref' and not 'ptp_ref' and the above commit now
exposes this and that the PTP clock is not configured correctly.

In order to update device-tree to use the correct 'ptp_ref' name, update
the Tegra MGBE driver to use 'ptp_ref' by default and fallback to using
'ptp-ref' if this clock name is present.

net: stmmac: fix integer underflow in chain mode

2026-04-03T01:28:10+00:00

The jumbo_frm() chain-mode implementation unconditionally computes

    len = nopaged_len - bmax;

where nopaged_len = skb_headlen(skb) (linear bytes only) and bmax is
BUF_SIZE_8KiB or BUF_SIZE_2KiB.  However, the caller stmmac_xmit()
decides to invoke jumbo_frm() based on skb->len (total length including
page fragments):

    is_jumbo = stmmac_is_jumbo_frm(priv, skb->len, enh_desc);

When a packet has a small linear portion (nopaged_len <= bmax) but a
large total length due to page fragments (skb->len > bmax), the
subtraction wraps as an unsigned integer, producing a huge len value
(~0xFFFFxxxx).  This causes the while (len != 0) loop to execute
hundreds of thousands of iterations, passing skb->data + bmax * i
pointers far beyond the skb buffer to dma_map_single().  On IOMMU-less
SoCs (the typical deployment for stmmac), this maps arbitrary kernel
memory to the DMA engine, constituting a kernel memory disclosure and
potential memory corruption from hardware.

Fix this by introducing a buf_len local variable clamped to
min(nopaged_len, bmax).  Computing len = nopaged_len - buf_len is then
always safe: it is zero when the linear portion fits within a single
descriptor, causing the while (len != 0) loop to be skipped naturally,
and the fragment loop in stmmac_xmit() handles page fragments afterward.

net: stmmac: skip VLAN restore when VLAN hash ops are missing

2026-04-01T02:45:26+00:00

stmmac_vlan_restore() unconditionally calls stmmac_vlan_update() when
NETIF_F_VLAN_FEATURES is set. On platforms where priv->hw->vlan (or
->update_vlan_hash) is not provided, stmmac_update_vlan_hash() returns
-EINVAL via stmmac_do_void_callback(), resulting in a spurious
"Failed to restore VLANs" error even when no VLAN filtering is in use.

Remove not needed comment.
Remove not used return value from stmmac_vlan_restore().

Tested on Orange Pi Zero 3.

net: stmmac: Defer VLAN HW configuration when interface is down

2026-03-05T02:48:49+00:00

VLAN register accesses on the MAC side require the PHY RX clock to be
active. When the network interface is down, the PHY is suspended and
the RX clock is unavailable, causing VLAN operations to fail with
timeouts.

The VLAN core automatically removes VID 0 after the interface goes down
and re-adds it when it comes back up, so these timeouts happen during
normal interface down/up:

    # ip link set end1 down
    renesas-gbeth 15c40000.ethernet end1: Timeout accessing MAC_VLAN_Tag_Filter
    renesas-gbeth 15c40000.ethernet end1: failed to kill vid 0081/0

Adding VLANs while the interface is down also fails:

    # ip link add link end1 name end1.10 type vlan id 10
    renesas-gbeth 15c40000.ethernet end1: Timeout accessing MAC_VLAN_Tag_Filter
    RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy

To fix this, check if the interface is up before accessing VLAN registers.
The software state is always kept up to date regardless of interface state.

When the interface is brought up, stmmac_vlan_restore() is called
to write the VLAN state to hardware.

net: stmmac: Fix VLAN HW state restore

2026-03-05T02:48:49+00:00

When the network interface is opened or resumed, a DMA reset is performed,
which resets all hardware state, including VLAN state. Currently, only
the resume path is restoring the VLAN state via
stmmac_restore_hw_vlan_rx_fltr(), but that is incomplete: the VLAN hash
table and the VLAN_TAG control bits are not restored.

Therefore, add stmmac_vlan_restore(), which restores the full VLAN
state by updating both the HW filter entries and the hash table, and
call it from both the open and resume paths.

The VLAN restore is moved outside of phylink_rx_clk_stop_block/unblock
in the resume path because receive clock stop is already disabled when
stmmac supports VLAN.

Also, remove the hash readback code in vlan_restore_hw_rx_fltr() that
attempts to restore VTHM by reading VLAN_HASH_TABLE, as it always reads
zero after DMA reset, making it dead code.

net: stmmac: Improve double VLAN handling

2026-03-05T02:48:49+00:00

The double VLAN bits (EDVLP, ESVL, DOVLTC) are handled inconsistently
between the two vlan_update_hash() implementations:

- dwxgmac2_update_vlan_hash() explicitly clears the double VLAN bits when
is_double is false, meaning that adding a 802.1Q VLAN will disable
double VLAN mode:

  $ ip link add link eth0 name eth0.200 type vlan id 200 protocol 802.1ad
  $ ip link add link eth0 name eth0.100 type vlan id 100
  # Double VLAN bits no longer set

- vlan_update_hash() sets these bits and only clears them when the last
VLAN has been removed, so double VLAN mode remains enabled even after all
802.1AD VLANs are removed.

Address both issues by tracking the number of active 802.1AD VLANs in
priv->num_double_vlans. Pass this count to stmmac_vlan_update() so both
implementations correctly set the double VLAN bits when any 802.1AD
VLAN is active, and clear them only when none remain.

Also update vlan_update_hash() to explicitly clear the double VLAN bits
when is_double is false, matching the dwxgmac2 behavior.

net: stmmac: Fix error handling in VLAN add and delete paths

2026-03-05T02:48:48+00:00

stmmac_vlan_rx_add_vid() updates active_vlans and the VLAN hash
register before writing the HW filter entry. If the filter write
fails, it leaves a stale VID in active_vlans and the hash register.

stmmac_vlan_rx_kill_vid() has the reverse problem: it clears
active_vlans before removing the HW filter. On failure, the VID is
gone from active_vlans but still present in the HW filter table.

To fix this, reorder the operations to update the hash table first,
then attempt the HW filter operation. If the HW filter fails, roll
back both the active_vlans bitmap and the hash table by calling
stmmac_vlan_update() again.

net: stmmac: fix timestamping configuration after suspend/resume

2026-02-25T01:46:15+00:00

When stmmac_init_timestamping() is called, it clears the receive and
transmit path booleans that allow timestamps to be read. These are
never re-initialised until after userspace requests timestamping
features to be enabled.

However, our copy of the timestamp configuration is not cleared, which
means we return the old configuration to userspace when requested.
This is inconsistent. Fix this by clearing the timestamp configuration.
