For nonlinear skbs, it reads uninitialized memory inside the skb headroom, essentially randomizing the tag. I have observed it gets set to 6 most of the time. Example where ksz9477_rcv thinks that the packet from port 1 comes from port 6 (which does not exist for the ksz9896 that's in use), dropping the packet. Debug prints added by me (not included in this patch): [ 256.645337] ksz9477_rcv:323 tag0=6 [ 256.645349] skb len=47 headroom=78 headlen=0 tailroom=0 mac=(64,14) mac_len=14 net=(78,0) trans=78 shinfo(txflags=0 nr_frags=1 gso(size=0 type=0 segs=0)) csum(0x0 start=0 offset=0 ip_summed=0 complete_sw=0 valid=0 level=0) hash(0x0 sw=0 l4=0) proto=0x00f8 pkttype=1 iif=3 priority=0x0 mark=0x0 alloc_cpu=0 vlan_all=0x0 encapsulation=0 inner(proto=0x0000, mac=0, net=0, trans=0) [ 256.645377] dev name=end1 feat=0x0002e10200114bb3 [ 256.645386] skb headroom: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [ 256.645395] skb headroom: 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [ 256.645403] skb headroom: 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [ 256.645411] skb headroom: 00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [ 256.645420] skb headroom: 00000040: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 1c 19 f2 e2 db 08 06 [ 256.645428] skb frag: 00000000: 00 01 08 00 06 04 00 01 00 1c 19 f2 e2 db 0a 02 [ 256.645436] skb frag: 00000010: 00 83 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 02 a0 2f 00 00 00 00 [ 256.645444] skb frag: 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 [ 256.645452] ksz_common_rcv:92 dsa_conduit_find_user returned NULL Call skb_linearize before trying to access the tag.

The LEDs are driven by the GPIO{15,16} pins of the North Bridge GPIO controller. These pins are part of the 'spi_quad' pin group for which the 'spi' function is selected via the default pinctrl state of the 'spi' node. This is wrong however, since in order to allow controlling the LEDs, the pins should use the 'gpio' function. Before the commit mentined above, the 'spi' function is selected first by the pinctrl core before probing the spi driver, but then it gets overridden to 'gpio' implicitly via the devm_gpiod_get_index_optional() call from the 'leds-gpio' driver. After the commit, the LED subsystem gets initialized before the SPI subsystem, so the function of the pin group remains 'spi' which in turn prevents controlling of the LEDs. Despite the change of the initialization order, the root cause is that the pinctrl state definition is wrong since its initial commit 0d45062cfc89 ("arm64: dts: marvell: Add device tree for uDPU board"), To fix the problem, override the function in the 'spi_quad_pins' node to 'gpio' and move the pinctrl state definition from the 'spi' node into the 'leds' node.

[PATCH 6.1&6.6 0/3] kbuild: Avoid weak external linkage where possible

by Huacai Chen

Backport this series to 6.1&6.6 because LoongArch gets build errors with latest binutils which has commit 599df6e2db17d1c4 ("ld, LoongArch: print error about linking without -fPIC or -fPIE flag in more detail"). CC .vmlinux.export.o UPD include/generated/utsversion.h CC init/version-timestamp.o LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: kernel/kallsyms.o:(.text+0): relocation R_LARCH_PCALA_HI20 against `kallsyms_markers` can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: kernel/crash_core.o:(.init.text+0x984): relocation R_LARCH_PCALA_HI20 against `kallsyms_names` can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: kernel/bpf/btf.o:(.text+0xcc7c): relocation R_LARCH_PCALA_HI20 against `__start_BTF` can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.43.50.20241126 assertion fail ../../bfd/elfnn-loongarch.c:2673 In theory 5.10&5.15 also need this, but since LoongArch get upstream at 5.19, so I just ignore them because there is no error report about other archs now. Weak external linkage is intended for cases where a symbol reference can remain unsatisfied in the final link. Taking the address of such a symbol should yield NULL if the reference was not satisfied. Given that ordinary RIP or PC relative references cannot produce NULL, some kind of indirection is always needed in such cases, and in position independent code, this results in a GOT entry. In ordinary code, it is arch specific but amounts to the same thing. While unavoidable in some cases, weak references are currently also used to declare symbols that are always defined in the final link, but not in the first linker pass. This means we end up with worse codegen for no good reason. So let's clean this up, by providing preliminary definitions that are only used as a fallback.
