As described by Vitaly Lifshits:

&gt; Starting from Tiger Lake, LAN NVM is locked for writes by SW, so the
&gt; driver cannot perform checksum validation and correction. This means
&gt; that all NVM images must leave the factory with correct checksum and
&gt; checksum valid bit set.

Unfortunately some systems have left the factory with an uninitialized
value of 0xFFFF at register address 0x3F (checksum word location).
So on Tiger Lake platform we ignore the computed checksum when such
condition is encountered.

<title>i40e: When removing VF MAC filters, only check PF-set MAC</title>

<id>5a0df02999dbe838c3feed54b1d59e9445f68b89</id>
<content type='text'>
When the PF is processing an Admin Queue message to delete a VF's MACs
from the MAC filter, we currently check if the PF set the MAC and if
the VF is trusted.

This results in undesirable behaviour, where if a trusted VF with a
PF-set MAC sets itself down (which sends an AQ message to delete the
VF's MAC filters) then the VF MAC is erased from the interface.

This results in the VF losing its PF-set MAC which should not happen.

There is no need to check for trust at all, because an untrusted VF
cannot change its own MAC. The only check needed is whether the PF set
the MAC. If the PF set the MAC, then don't erase the MAC on link-down.

Resolve this by changing the deletion check only for PF-set MAC.

(the out-of-tree driver has also intentionally removed the check for VF
trust here with OOT driver version 2.26.8, this changes the Linux kernel
driver behaviour and comment to match the OOT driver behaviour)

<title>i40e: report VF tx_dropped with tx_errors instead of tx_discards</title>
<updated>2025-07-21T17:31:09+00:00</updated>

<id>50b2af451597ca6eefe9d4543f8bbf8de8aa00e7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the tx_dropped field in VF stats is not updated correctly
when reading stats from the PF. This is because it reads from
i40e_eth_stats.tx_discards which seems to be unused for per VSI stats,
as it is not updated by i40e_update_eth_stats() and the corresponding
register, GLV_TDPC, is not implemented[1].

Use i40e_eth_stats.tx_errors instead, which is actually updated by
i40e_update_eth_stats() by reading from GLV_TEPC.

To test, create a VF and try to send bad packets through it:

$ echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/enp2s0f0/device/sriov_numvfs
$ cat test.py
from scapy.all import *

vlan_pkt = Ether(dst="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff") / Dot1Q(vlan=999) / IP(dst="192.168.0.1") / ICMP()
ttl_pkt = IP(dst="8.8.8.8", ttl=0) / ICMP()

print("Send packet with bad VLAN tag")
sendp(vlan_pkt, iface="enp2s0f0v0")
print("Send packet with TTL=0")
sendp(ttl_pkt, iface="enp2s0f0v0")

<title>ice: add NULL check in eswitch lag check</title>

The function ice_lag_is_switchdev_running() is being called from outside of
the LAG event handler code.  This results in the lag-&gt;upper_netdev being
NULL sometimes.  To avoid a NULL-pointer dereference, there needs to be a
check before it is dereferenced.

<title>ethernet: intel: fix building with large NR_CPUS</title>

<content type='text'>
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) &gt;= 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. Move this member before the CPU mask instead, in all three
drivers.

<title>igc: disable L1.2 PCI-E link substate to avoid performance issue</title>

<id>0325143b59c6c6d79987afc57d2456e7a20d13b7</id>
<content type='text'>
I226 devices advertise support for the PCI-E link L1.2 substate. However,
due to a hardware limitation, the exit latency from this low-power state
is longer than the packet buffer can tolerate under high traffic
conditions. This can lead to packet loss and degraded performance.

To mitigate this, disable the L1.2 substate. The increased power draw
between L1.1 and L1.2 is insignificant.

Fix by converting cq_lock to a spinlock. All operations under the new
lock are safe except freeing the DMA memory, which may use vunmap(). Fix
by requesting a contiguous physical memory for the DMA mapping.
