net: lapbether: ignore ops-locked netdevs

2025-08-08T20:22:28+00:00

Syzkaller managed to trigger lock dependency in xsk_notify via
register_netdevice. As discussed in [0], using register_netdevice
in the notifiers is problematic so skip adding lapbeth for ops-locked
devices.

net: lapbether: use netdev_lockdep_set_classes() helper

2025-03-31T23:43:55+00:00

drivers/net/wan/lapbether.c uses stacked devices.
Like similar drivers, it must use netdev_lockdep_set_classes()
to avoid LOCKDEP splats.

This is similar to commit 9bfc9d65a1dc ("hamradio:
use netdev_lockdep_set_classes() helper")

net: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-04T23:39:57+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net after the previous
conversion commits apart from the wireless drivers to use .remove(),
with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As
.remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done
by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

Received frame from QMC contains the CRC.
Upper layers don't need this CRC and tcpdump mentioned trailing junk

As some other HDLC driver, simply discard this CRC.

net: wan: fsl_qmc_hdlc: Convert carrier_lock spinlock to a mutex

2024-08-01T01:06:24+00:00

The carrier_lock spinlock protects the carrier detection. While it is
held, framer_get_status() is called which in turn takes a mutex.
This is not correct and can lead to a deadlock.

A run with PROVE_LOCKING enabled detected the issue:
  [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
  ...
  c204ddbc (&framer->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: framer_get_status+0x40/0x78

  #1: c2006a40 (&qmc_hdlc->carrier_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: qmc_hdlc_framer_set_carrier+0x30/0x98

Avoid the spinlock usage and convert carrier_lock to a mutex.

net: wan: fsl_qmc_hdlc: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2024-04-11T02:35:50+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

net: handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2024-04-08T10:56:56+00:00

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at
compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for
those drivers requiring them. For the DEFXX driver the use of I/O
ports is optional and we only need to fence specific code paths. It also
turns out that with HAS_IOPORT handled explicitly HAMRADIO does not need
the !S390 dependency and successfully builds the bpqether driver.
