<title>net: Consistently define pci_device_ids using named initializers</title>

... and PCI device helpers.

The various struct pci_device_id arrays were initialized mostly by one
the PCI_DEVICE macros and then list expressions. The latter isn't easily
readable if you're not into PCI. Using named initializers is more
explicit and thus easier to parse.

Also use PCI_DEVICE* helper macros to assign .vendor, .device,
.subvendor and .subdevice where appropriate and skip explicit
assignments of 0 (which the compiler takes care of).

The secret plan is to make struct pci_device_id::driver_data an
anonymous union (similar to
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1776579304.git.u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/)
and that requires named initializers. But it's also a nice cleanup on
its own.

This change doesn't introduce changes to the compiled pci_device_id
arrays. Tested on x86 and arm64.

<title>igb: remove napi_synchronize() in igb_down()</title>

<id>b1e067240379f950a0022208e0685f3465c211cb</id>
<content type='text'>
When an AF_XDP zero-copy application terminates abruptly (e.g., kill -9),
the XSK buffer pool is destroyed but NAPI polling continues.
igb_clean_rx_irq_zc() repeatedly returns the full budget, preventing
napi_complete_done() from clearing NAPI_STATE_SCHED.

igb_down() calls napi_synchronize() before napi_disable() for each queue
vector. napi_synchronize() spins waiting for NAPI_STATE_SCHED to clear,
which never happens. igb_down() blocks indefinitely, the TX watchdog
fires, and the TX queue remains permanently stalled.

napi_disable() already handles this correctly: it sets NAPI_STATE_DISABLE.
After a full-budget poll, __napi_poll() checks napi_disable_pending(). If
set, it forces completion and clears NAPI_STATE_SCHED, breaking the loop
that napi_synchronize() cannot.

napi_synchronize() was added in commit 41f149a285da ("igb: Fix possible
panic caused by Rx traffic arrival while interface is down").
napi_disable() provides stronger guarantees: it prevents further
scheduling and waits for any active poll to exit.
Other Intel drivers (ixgbe, ice, i40e) use napi_disable() without a
preceding napi_synchronize() in their down paths.

Remove redundant napi_synchronize() call and reorder napi_disable()
before igb_set_queue_napi() so the queue-to-NAPI mapping is only
cleared after polling has fully stopped.

<title>igb: Fix trigger of incorrect irq in igb_xsk_wakeup</title>

<content type='text'>
The current implementation in the igb_xsk_wakeup expects
the Rx and Tx queues to share the same irq. This would lead
to triggering of incorrect irq in split irq configuration.
This patch addresses this issue which could impact environments
with 2 active cpu cores
or when the number of queues is reduced to 2 or less

cat /proc/interrupts | grep eno2

 4-edge      eno2-tx-1

Furthermore it uses the flags input argument to trigger either rx, tx or
both rx and tx irqs as specified in the ndo_xsk_wakeup api documentation

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>
<updated>2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Linus Torvalds</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43'/>
<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Enable host bridge emulation for PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC platforms (Dan
     Williams)

   - Switch vmd from custom domain number allocator to the common
     allocator to prevent a potential race with new non-VMD buses (Dan
     Williams)

   - Enable Precision Time Measurement (PTM) only if device advertises
     support for a relevant role, to prevent invalid PTM Requests that
     cause ACS violations that are reported as AER Uncorrectable
     Non-Fatal errors (Mika Westerberg)

  Resource management:

   - Prevent resource tree corruption when BAR resize fails (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

   - Restore BARs to the original size if a BAR resize fails (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

   - Remove BAR release from BAR resize attempts by the xe, i915, and
     amdgpu drivers so the PCI core can restore BARs if the resize fails
     (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Move Resizable BAR code to rebar.c (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Add pci_rebar_size_supported() and use it in i915 and xe (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

   - Add pci_rebar_get_max_size() and use it in xe and amdgpu (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

  Power management and error handling:

   - For drivers using PCI legacy suspend, save config state at suspend
     so that state (not any earlier state from enumeration, probe, or
     error recovery) will be restored when resuming (Lukas Wunner)

   - For devices with no driver or a driver that lacks power management,
     save config state at hibernate so that state (not any earlier state
     from enumeration, probe, or error recovery) will be restored when
     resuming (Lukas Wunner)

   - Save device config space on device addition, before driver binding,
     so error recovery works more reliably (Lukas Wunner)

   - Drop pci_save_state() from several drivers that no longer need it
     since the PCI core always does it and pci_restore_state() no longer
     invalidates the saved state (Lukas Wunner)

   - Document use of pci_save_state() by drivers to capture the state
     they want restored during error recovery (Lukas Wunner)

  Power control:

   - Add a struct pci_ops.assert_perst() function pointer to
     assert/deassert PCIe PERST# and implement it for the qcom driver
     (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Add DT binding and pwrctrl driver for the Toshiba TC9563 PCIe
     switch, which must be held in reset after poweron so the pwrctrl
     driver can configure the switch via I2C before bringing up the
     links (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Convert the endpoint doorbell test to use a threaded IRQ to fix a
     'sleeping while atomic' issue (Bhanu Seshu Kumar Valluri)

   - Add endpoint VNTB MSI doorbell support to reduce latency between
     host and endpoint (Frank Li)

  New native PCIe controller drivers:

   - Add CIX Sky1 host controller DT binding and driver (Hans Zhang)

   - Add NXP S32G host controller DT binding and driver (Vincent
     Guittot)

   - Add Renesas RZ/G3S host controller DT binding and driver (Claudiu
     Beznea)

   - Add SpacemiT K1 host controller DT binding and driver (Alex Elder)

  Amlogic Meson PCIe controller driver:

   - Update DT binding to name DBI region 'dbi', not 'elbi', and update
     driver to support both (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  Apple PCIe controller driver:

   - Move struct pci_host_bridge allocation from pci_host_common_init()
     to callers, which significantly simplifies pcie-apple (Marc
     Zyngier)

  Broadcom STB PCIe controller driver:

   - Disable advertising ASPM L0s support correctly (Jim Quinlan)

   - Add a panic/die handler to print diagnostic info in case PCIe
     caused an unrecoverable abort (Jim Quinlan)

  Cadence PCIe controller driver:

   - Add module support for Cadence platform host and endpoint
     controller driver (Manikandan K Pillai)

   - Split headers into 'legacy' (LGA) and 'high perf' (HPA) to prepare
     for new CIX Sky1 driver (Manikandan K Pillai)

  MediaTek PCIe controller driver:

   - Convert DT binding to YAML schema (Christian Marangi)

   - Add Airoha AN7583 DT compatible and driver support (Christian
     Marangi)

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Add Qualcomm Kaanapali to SM8550 DT binding (Qiang Yu)

   - Add required 'power-domains' and 'resets' to qcom sa8775p, sc7280,
     sc8280xp, sm8150, sm8250, sm8350, sm8450, sm8550, x1e80100 DT
     schemas (Krzysztof Kozlowski)

   - Look up OPP using both frequency and data rate (not just frequency)
     so RPMh votes can account for both (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

  Rockchip DesignWare PCIe controller driver:

   - Add Rockchip RK3528 compatible strings in DT binding (Yao Zi)

  STMicroelectronics STM32MP25 PCIe controller driver:

   - Fix a race between link training and endpoint register
     initialization (Christian Bruel)

   - Align endpoint allocations to match the ATU requirements (Christian
     Bruel)

  Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:

   - Clear L1 PM Substate Capability 'Supported' bits unless glue driver
     says it's supported, which prevents users from enabling non-working
     L1SS. Currently only qcom and tegra194 support L1SS (Bjorn Helgaas)

   - Remove now-superfluous L1SS disable code from tegra194 (Bjorn
     Helgaas)

   - Configure L1SS support in dw-rockchip when DT says
     'supports-clkreq' (Shawn Lin)

  TI Keystone PCIe controller driver:

   - Fail the probe instead of silently succeeding if ks_pcie_of_data
     didn't specify Root Complex or Endpoint mode (Siddharth Vadapalli)

   - Make keystone buildable as a loadable module, except on ARM32 where
     hook_fault_code() is __init (Siddharth Vadapalli)"
