Mainline patch information (included in 6.18-rc):
mfd: kempld: Switch back to earlier ->init() behavior
Commit 309e65d151ab9be1e7b01d822880cd8c4e611dff
Please consider this patch for all supported stable and longterm
versions that include the faulty commit 9e36775c22c7 mentioned in the
patch description. This includes all Kernel versions starting with
v6.10.
Newer Kontron/JUMPtec products are not listed in the kempld drivers DMI
table, as they are supposed to be identified using ACPI. Without this
patch there is no way to get the driver working with those boards on
the affected kernel versions.
Thanks in advance,
Michael Brunner

Previously meson_pcie_link_up() only returned true if the link was in the
L0 state. This was incorrect because hardware autonomously manages
transitions between L0, L0s, and L1 while both components on the link stay
in D0. Those states should all be treated as "link is active".
Returning false when the device was in L0s or L1 broke config accesses
because dw_pcie_other_conf_map_bus() fails if the link is down, which
caused errors like this:
meson-pcie fc000000.pcie: error: wait linkup timeout
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: error updating (0xfc700004 != 0xffffffff)
Remove the LTSSM state check, timeout, speed check, and error message from
meson_pcie_link_up(), the dw_pcie_ops.link_up() method, so it is a simple
boolean check of whether the link is active. Timeouts and and error
messages are handled at a higher level, e.g., dw_pcie_wait_for_link().

This bug seems to have been in the driver since the beginning,
but it only manifests recently, I do not know why.
Store the IRQ number in the state struct, as this is a common
pattern in other drivers, then use this to determine if we have
IRQ support or not.

Changes in v2:
- Instead of a bool has_irq in the state struct, store the Linux IRQ
number itself and switch behaviour on that.

Commit 2f13daee2a72 ("lib/crypto/curve25519-hacl64: Disable KASAN with
clang-17 and older") inadvertently disabled KASAN in curve25519-hacl64.o
for GCC unconditionally because clang-min-version will always evaluate
to nothing for GCC. Add a check for CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC to avoid the
workaround, which is only needed for clang-17 and older.
Additionally, invert the 'ifeq (...,)' into 'ifneq (...,y)', as it is a
little easier to read and understand the intention ("if not GCC or at
least clang-18, disable KASAN").

[ Upstream commit c15d5c62ab313c19121f10e25d4fec852bd1c40c ]
When a netdev issues a RX async resync request for a TLS connection,
the TLS module handles it by logging record headers and attempting to
match them to the tcp_sn provided by the device. If a match is found,
the TLS module approves the tcp_sn for resynchronization.
While waiting for a device response, the TLS module also increments
rcd_delta each time a new TLS record is received, tracking the distance
from the original resync request.
However, if the device response is delayed or fails (e.g due to
unstable connection and device getting out of tracking, hardware
errors, resource exhaustion etc.), the TLS module keeps logging and
incrementing, which can lead to a WARN() when rcd_delta exceeds the
threshold.
To address this, introduce tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_cancel()
to explicitly cancel resync requests when a device response failure is
detected. Call this helper also as a final safeguard when rcd_delta
crosses its threshold, as reaching this point implies that earlier
cancellation did not occur.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Based on my semantic analysis of the kernel repository, here is my
comprehensive assessment:
## **VERDICT: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
## **Detailed Analysis**
### **1. Semantic Code Analysis Tools Used**
I used the following semantic analysis tools to examine this commit:
- **mcp__semcode__find_function**: Located `tls_device_rx_resync_async`,
`tls_device_rx_resync_new_rec`, and
`tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_start`
- **mcp__semcode__find_type**: Examined `struct
tls_offload_resync_async` structure
- **mcp__semcode__find_callers**: Traced the call graph upward from
affected functions
- **mcp__semcode__find_callchain**: Built complete call chain from user
space to the bug location
- **Git tools**: Analyzed commit history, dependencies, and related
fixes
### **2. Impact Analysis Results**
**Call Chain Discovery** (from user-space to bug):
```
User recvmsg() syscall
→ tls_sw_recvmsg (net/tls/tls_sw.c:2031)
→ tls_strp_read_sock (net/tls/tls_strp.c:514)
→ tls_rx_msg_size (net/tls/tls_sw.c:2441)
→ tls_device_rx_resync_new_rec (net/tls/tls_device.c:767)
→ tls_device_rx_resync_async (net/tls/tls_device.c:712) ←
**BUG HERE**
```
**User-Space Exposure**: This is **100% user-space triggerable**. Any
application receiving TLS data with hardware offload enabled can hit
this code path.
**Affected Hardware**: Only Mellanox/NVIDIA mlx5 NICs currently use
async TLS resync (found via semantic search:
`drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_accel/ktls_rx.c`)
### **3. Bug Description**
**Current behavior (without patch)**:
At line net/tls/tls_device.c:726-727:
```c
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(resync_async->rcd_delta == USHRT_MAX))
return false;
```
When `rcd_delta` reaches 65535 (USHRT_MAX):
- WARN() fires, polluting kernel logs
- Function returns false, BUT doesn't cancel the resync request
- `resync_async->req` remains set (still "active")
- Every subsequent TLS record continues processing in async mode
- Results in continuous WARN() spam and wasted CPU cycles
**Fixed behavior (with patch)**:
```c
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(resync_async->rcd_delta == USHRT_MAX)) {
tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_cancel(resync_async); // ← NEW
return false;
}
```
The new helper properly cancels the resync by setting
`atomic64_set(&resync_async->req, 0)`, preventing further async
processing.
### **4. Triggering Conditions**
The bug triggers in real-world scenarios:
- Packet drops/reordering in the network
- Device hardware errors
- Device resource exhaustion
- Unstable network connections
- Device losing track of TLS record state
After device fails to respond, the kernel continues logging every TLS
record header and incrementing `rcd_delta` until overflow occurs (65,535
TLS records ≈ realistic in high-throughput scenarios).
### **5. Code Change Scope**
**Minimal and contained**:
- Adds 6-line helper function
`tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_cancel()`
- Modifies 2 lines at overflow check (adds braces + function call)
- Total: +9 lines, -1 line
- Files: `include/net/tls.h`, `net/tls/tls_device.c`
### **6. Dependency Analysis**
**Critical**: This commit is a **stable dependency** for commit
426e9da3b284 ("net/mlx5e: kTLS, Cancel RX async resync request in error
flows"), which:
- Has explicit `Fixes: 0419d8c9d8f8` tag (kTLS RX resync support from
~2019)
- Uses the new `tls_offload_rx_resync_async_request_cancel()` helper
- Addresses the root cause in the mlx5 driver
Without this commit, the mlx5 fix cannot be applied.
### **7. Backport Status**
Already being backported:
- cd4ff87174242: Backport with "Stable-dep-of: 426e9da3b284" tag
- 689074947f008: Another stable backport
- Shows active stable tree maintenance
### **8. Stable Tree Compliance**
✅ **Fixes important bug**: Prevents kernel log spam and CPU waste
✅ **No new features**: Pure bug fix
✅ **No architectural changes**: Adds one helper function
✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Only 10 lines, affects rare code path
✅ **Confined to subsystem**: TLS offload only
✅ **Dependency for other fixes**: Required by mlx5 driver fix
✅ **Well-reviewed**: Reviewed-by Sabrina Dubroca (TLS subsystem expert)
✅ **Hardware vendor submission**: NVIDIA engineers with hardware
knowledge
### **9. Risk Assessment**
**Very low risk**:
- Change only affects TLS hardware offload users (small subset)
- Only triggers at overflow condition (previously broken anyway)
- No modification to hot path - only error handling
- Well-tested by NVIDIA (hardware vendor)
- Already merged in mainline v6.18-rc4
- Being actively backported to other stable trees
### **Conclusion**
This is a textbook example of an ideal stable backport candidate: small,
focused, fixes real user-visible issues, has dependencies, low risk, and
already has stable tree activity. The semantic analysis confirms user-
space can trigger this bug through normal TLS operations with hardware
offload enabled.

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch(a)nvidia.com>
commit 6ead38147ebb813f08be6ea8ef547a0e4c09559a upstream.
VXLAN FDB entries can point to either a remote destination or an FDB
nexthop group. The latter is usually used in EVPN deployments where
learning is disabled.
However, when learning is enabled, an incoming packet might try to
refresh an FDB entry that points to an FDB nexthop group and therefore
does not have a remote. Such packets should be dropped, but they are
only dropped after dereferencing the non-existent remote, resulting in a
NPD [1] which can be reproduced using [2].
Fix by dropping such packets earlier. Remove the misleading comment from
first_remote_rcu().
