ATM device ci_range fields (vpi_bits and vci_bits) represent the
number of bits supported for VPI and VCI addressing on the device.
net/atm/common.c directly uses these fields as bit shift counts:
  vpi &gt;&gt; dev-&gt;ci_range.vpi_bits
  vci &gt;&gt; dev-&gt;ci_range.vci_bits
  1 &lt;&lt; vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ci_range.vpi_bits
  1 &lt;&lt; vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ci_range.vci_bits

usbatm_atm_init() sets ci_range.vpi_bits and ci_range.vci_bits to
ATM_CI_MAX (-1), which is defined in &lt;uapi/linux/atmdev.h&gt; as a
sentinel value for userspace ATM_SETCIRANGE requests, not a valid bit
count. Shifting by -1 is undefined behavior and triggers UBSAN
warnings.

ATM UNI cell headers allow up to 8 bits for VPI (0..255) and 16 bits
for VCI (0..65535). Initialize vpi_bits to 8 and vci_bits to 16, as
done by solos-pci.

fec_ptp_init() is only called when fep-&gt;bufdesc_ex is available.
However, fec_probe() unconditionally calls fec_ptp_stop() on the
failed_init path, and fec_drv_remove() unconditionally calls
fec_ptp_stop() during device removal.

Check fep-&gt;bufdesc_ex before calling fec_ptp_stop() in both paths
to avoid stopping PTP when it was not initialized.

Jaeyoung Chung and Eulgyu Kim reported a slab-use-after-free read
in slip_receive_buf() when racing against tty hangup.

tty_ldisc_hangup() calls ld-&gt;ops-&gt;hangup() while holding only
a read lock on tty-&gt;ldisc_sem (via tty_ldisc_ref()).
Because slip_hangup() simply called slip_close(), it ran concurrently
with reader functions such as slip_receive_buf().

slip_close() unregisters and frees the net device and its private
struct slip, causing concurrent reader threads in slip_receive_buf()
to dereference freed memory.

Line discipline close() is already guaranteed to be called under
the write lock of tty-&gt;ldisc_sem during hangup processing
(in tty_ldisc_reinit() or tty_ldisc_kill()).

Remove slip_hangup() so teardown is serialized cleanly by slip_close().

Pull regulator fix from Mark Brown:
 "One fix here, for a race condition on startup in the tps65185 driver
  which is seen on actual boards - we need a delay after waking the chip
  before it is ready to talk to the host"

<title>net: dsa: mxl862xx: enable assisted learning on CPU port</title>

<id>88c71cc0ad9800d8814bd3627b21a0da9028e057</id>
<content type='text'>
The MxL862xx driver enables FDB isolation but does not enable assisted
learning on the CPU port. Consequently, MAC addresses learned through a
physical switch port are not updated in hardware when the corresponding
station moves to a foreign bridge port, such as a Wi-Fi interface.

The stale hardware FDB entry continues directing return traffic toward
the original physical port. Traffic entering that same port is then
filtered instead of being forwarded to the CPU and software bridge. This
causes downstream unicast traffic, including DHCP OFFER and ACK packets,
to disappear after a client roams to a local wireless interface. The
client eventually considers the connection unusable and disconnects.

Enable assisted CPU-port learning so DSA installs foreign bridge FDB
entries on the CPU port. This keeps the hardware FDB synchronized with
the software bridge and allows return traffic to reach locally attached
Wi-Fi clients after roaming.

Tested on a BPI R4 PRO with a MxL862xx switch and a BE14000 WiFi interface.
- Without patch, wired uplink on lan6 port (mxl path)
  Wifi clients connect but roam away not getting DHCP offers
- Without patch, wired uplink on wan port (no mxl path)
  Wifi clients connect and roam successfully
- With this patch, uplink on lan6 (mxl path)
  Wifi clients connect and roam successfully

<title>net: stmmac: restore NET_IP_ALIGN in the RX DMA offset</title>

<id>23680bf5f8c69c923546b84a8e6c401bef8b88fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the RX path was converted to zero-copy, the page pool page is handed
to the stack directly as the skb head, and the offset the DMA engine writes
at is what determines the alignment of the packet headers.

Before the conversion the payload was copied into an skb obtained from
napi_alloc_skb(), which reserves NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN. The
conversion moved the headroom into stmmac_rx_offset() but did not carry
over NET_IP_ALIGN, so on architectures where NET_IP_ALIGN is 2 the IP
header now lands misaligned:

  64 (NET_SKB_PAD) + 14 (ethernet) + 20 (IP) = 98

Same for the XDP branch:

  256 (XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM) + 14 (ethernet) + 20 (IP) = 290

On ARM32 this is fatal, because ldm and ldrd trap on unaligned addresses
even when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set.

Any received echo request panics the machine, e.g:

  Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0x81873062
  Internal error: : 1 [#1] SMP ARM
  Hardware name: Altera SOCFPGA Arria10
  PC is at icmp_echo+0x38/0xa8
  LR is at icmp_rcv+0x22c/0x370
  Call trace:
   icmp_echo from icmp_rcv+0x22c/0x370
   icmp_rcv from ip_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x2c/0x224
   ip_protocol_deliver_rcu from ip_local_deliver+0xc8/0x1a0
   ip_local_deliver from ip_sublist_rcv_finish+0x3c/0x50
   ip_sublist_rcv_finish from ip_list_rcv_finish+0x110/0x118
   ip_list_rcv_finish from ip_list_rcv+0xc8/0xdc
   ip_list_rcv from __netif_receive_skb_list_core+0x170/0x1c0
   ...
   napi_complete_done from stmmac_napi_poll_rx+0xcb0/0x1030
  Code: e24dd068 e59020a0 e28dc010 e0822001 (e8920003)
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

The faulting instruction is the ldm of *icmp_hdr(skb) in icmp_echo().

Fix by adding NET_IP_ALIGN back to the RX offset, which restores the
alignment the stack used to get.

Note that commit a955318fe67e ("stmmac: align RX buffers") made a similar
change in 2021 and was reverted by commit 12d125b4574b ("stmmac: Revert
"stmmac: align RX buffers"") because it caused packet corruption. That
patch raised the offset from 0 without adjusting the buffer size
accounting, so the DMA engine could arguably write past the end of the RX
buffers, though this was never root caused.
Commit df542f669307 ("net: stmmac: Switch to zero-copy in non-XDP RX
path") since derives the page pool allocation from stmmac_rx_offset(), so
the extra bytes are accounted for.
