[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: display: sprd,sharkl3-dpu: Fix missing clocks constraints

by Krzysztof Kozlowski

'minItems' alone does not impose upper bound, unlike 'maxItems' which implies lower bound. Add missing clock constraint so the list will have exact number of items (clocks).

[PATCH v10 1/1] serial: 8250: fix panic due to PSLVERR

by Yunhui Cui

When the PSLVERR_RESP_EN parameter is set to 1, the device generates an error response if an attempt is made to read an empty RBR (Receive Buffer Register) while the FIFO is enabled. In serial8250_do_startup(), calling serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR, UART_LCR_WLEN8) triggers dw8250_check_lcr(), which invokes dw8250_force_idle() and serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos(). The latter function enables the FIFO via serial_out(p, UART_FCR, p->fcr). Execution proceeds to the serial_port_in(port, UART_RX). This satisfies the PSLVERR trigger condition. When another CPU (e.g., using printk()) is accessing the UART (UART is busy), the current CPU fails the check (value & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) == (lcr & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) in dw8250_check_lcr(), causing it to enter dw8250_force_idle(). Put serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR, UART_LCR_WLEN8) under the port->lock to fix this issue. Panic backtrace: [ 0.442336] Oops - unknown exception [#1] [ 0.442343] epc : dw8250_serial_in32+0x1e/0x4a [ 0.442351] ra : serial8250_do_startup+0x2c8/0x88e ...

This compile-time assertion ensures that the RCU head field is within the first 4096 bytes of the structure. 3. **Simple and Safe Fix**: The fix is straightforward - it moves the `struct rcu_head rcu` member earlier in the structure, placing it before the `cpumask_t affinity_mask` member. This is a safe change because: - It only reorders structure members - The RCU head doesn't need to be at any specific location functionally - Moving it earlier reduces the offset from the structure start - No functional code changes are required 4. **Affects Multiple Drivers**: The issue affects three Intel ethernet drivers (i40e, ixgbe, fm10k), all of which are fixed identically by moving the rcu member earlier in their respective q_vector structures. 5. **Configuration-Dependent Bug**: This bug only manifests with large CONFIG_NR_CPUS values (likely >= 512 or higher), where the `cpumask_t` type becomes large enough to push the rcu member beyond the 4096-byte offset limit.

This is a safe change because: - It only reorders structure members - The RCU head doesn't need to be at any specific location functionally - Moving it earlier reduces the offset from the structure start - No functional code changes are required 4. **Affects Multiple Drivers**: The issue affects three Intel ethernet drivers (i40e, ixgbe, fm10k), all of which are fixed identically by moving the rcu member earlier in their respective q_vector structures. 5. **Configuration-Dependent Bug**: This bug only manifests with large CONFIG_NR_CPUS values (likely >= 512 or higher), where the `cpumask_t` type becomes large enough to push the rcu member beyond the 4096-byte offset limit. Systems with high core counts are becoming more common in production environments. 6. **No Risk of Regression**: The change is minimal and doesn't alter any functionality. It's purely a structural reordering that maintains all existing behavior while fixing the compilation issue. 7. **Meets Stable Criteria**: This fix clearly meets the stable kernel criteria as it: - Fixes a real bug (compilation failure) - Is minimal and contained - Has no risk of introducing new issues - Affects users with legitimate configurations The commit is an excellent candidate for stable backporting as it fixes a real compilation issue that prevents kernel builds on systems with large CPU counts, and the fix is trivial with no risk of regression. drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k.h | 3 ++- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.h | 3 ++- 3 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k.h index 6119a41088381..65a2816142d96 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k.h @@ -189,13 +189,14 @@ struct fm10k_q_vector { struct fm10k_ring_container rx, tx; struct napi_struct napi; + struct rcu_head rcu; /* to avoid race with update stats on free */ + cpumask_t affinity_mask; char name[IFNAMSIZ + 9]; #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS struct dentry *dbg_q_vector; #endif /* CONFIG_DEBUG_FS */ - struct rcu_head rcu; /* to avoid race with update stats on free */ /* for dynamic allocation of rings associated with this q_vector */ struct fm10k_ring ring[] ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp; diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h index dd630b6bc74bd..add9a3107d9a0 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.h @@ -863,6 +863,7 @@ struct i40e_q_vector { u16 reg_idx; /* register index of the interrupt */ struct napi_struct napi; + struct rcu_head rcu; /* to avoid race with update stats on free */ struct i40e_ring_container rx; struct i40e_ring_container tx; @@ -873,7 +874,6 @@ struct i40e_q_vector { cpumask_t affinity_mask; struct irq_affinity_notify affinity_notify; - struct rcu_head rcu; /* to avoid race with update stats on free */ char name[I40E_INT_NAME_STR_LEN]; bool arm_wb_state; } ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp; diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.h index 18251edbfabfb..3ea7095fc04f5 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.h @@ -457,9 +457,10 @@ struct ixgbe_q_vector { struct ixgbe_ring_container rx, tx; struct napi_struct napi; + struct rcu_head rcu; /* to avoid race with update stats on free */ + cpumask_t affinity_mask; int numa_node; - struct rcu_head rcu; /* to avoid race with update stats on free */ char name[IFNAMSIZ + 9]; /* for dynamic allocation of rings associated with this q_vector */ -- 2.39.5

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 1/2] ethernet: intel: fix building with large NR_CPUS

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd(a)arndb.de> [ Upstream commit 24171a5a4a952c26568ff0d2a0bc8c4708a95e1d ] With large values of CONFIG_NR_CPUS, three Intel ethernet drivers fail to compile like: In function ‘i40e_free_q_vector’, inlined from ‘i40e_vsi_alloc_q_vectors’ at drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:12112:3: 571 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__) include/linux/rcupdate.h:1084:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘BUILD_BUG_ON’ 1084 | BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(typeof(*(ptr)), rhf) >= 4096); \ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:5113:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘kfree_rcu’ 5113 | kfree_rcu(q_vector, rcu); | ^~~~~~~~~ The problem is that the 'rcu' member in 'q_vector' is too far from the start of the structure.
