From ba54bce747fa9e07896c1abd9b48545f7b4b31d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakob Unterwurzacher jakobunt@gmail.com Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 09:29:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: microchip: linearize skb for tail-tagging switches
The pointer arithmentic for accessing the tail tag only works for linear skbs.
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):

Call skb_linearize before trying to access the tag.
This patch fixes ksz9477_rcv which is used by the ksz9896 I have at hand, and also applies the same fix to ksz8795_rcv which seems to have the same problem.
