[PATCH net v2 0/2] address EEE regressions on KSZ switches since v6.9 (v6.14+)

by Oleksij Rempel

This patch series addresses a regression in Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) handling for KSZ switches with integrated PHYs, introduced in kernel v6.9 by commit fe0d4fd9285e ("net: phy: Keep track of EEE configuration"). The first patch updates the DSA driver to allow phylink to properly manage PHY EEE configuration. Since integrated PHYs handle LPI internally and ports without integrated PHYs do not document MAC-level LPI support, dummy MAC LPI callbacks are provided. The second patch removes outdated EEE workarounds from the micrel PHY driver, as they are no longer needed with correct phylink handling. This series addresses the regression for mainline and kernels starting from v6.14. It is not easily possible to fully fix older kernels due to missing infrastructure changes. Tested on KSZ9893 hardware.

Mhm, why has that patch been picked up for backporting? It's a cleanup and not a bug fix. When some other fix depends on it it's probably ok to backport it as well, but stand alone it would probably rather hurt than help, Regards, Christian. > > > > commit 09a1b6ca7c7d9c07c702479646a0a8cfa2329e11 > Author: Ramesh Errabolu <Ramesh.Errabolu(a)amd.com> > Date: Wed Feb 24 20:48:06 2021 -0600 > > drm/amdgpu: Remove amdgpu_device arg from free_sgt api (v2) > > [ Upstream commit 5392b2af97dc5802991f953eb2687e538da4688c ] > > Currently callers have to provide handle of amdgpu_device, > which is not used by the implementation.

When using earlycon, __msm_console_write() always writes 4 characters at a time, but we don't know which mode the bootloader was using and we don't set the mode either. This causes garbled output if the bootloader was using the single-character mode, because only every 4th character appears in the serial console, e.g. "[ 00oni pi 000xf0[ 00i s 5rm9(l)l s 1 1 SPMTA 7:C 5[ 00A ade k d[ 00ano:ameoi .Q1B[ 00ac _idaM00080oo'" If the bootloader was using the DMA ("DM") mode, output would likely fail entirely. Later, when the full serial driver probes, the port is re-initialized and output works as expected. Fix this also for earlycon by clearing the DMEN register and reset+re-enable the transmitter to apply the change. This ensures the transmitter is in the expected state before writing any output.

Build failure due to backport of "bpf: Add namespace to BPF internal symbols"

by Shung-Hsi Yu

Hi Sasha, bpf-add-namespace-to-bpf-internal-symbols.patch is stable-queue.git seems like the culprit responsible for build failure in stable 6.12 and earlier (log below). The reason is likely due to the lack of commit cdd30ebb1b9f ("module: Convert symbol namespace to string literal") before v6.13. Getting rid of the quotes s/"BPF_INTERNAL"/BPF_INTERNAL/ probably would be enough to fix it.
