This patch addresses a controller freeze occurring under high incoming traffic loads on GEM-based platforms like the ATSAMA5D41. When the DMA exhausted all available buffers, it triggered a Buffer Not Available (BNA) condition in the Receive Status Register (RSR). On this hardware, clearing the BNA flag without first resolving the underlying resource shortage caused the controller to enter a permanent blocked state. The recovery logic introduced here forces a slot release by incrementing the consumer index (rx_tail), acknowledges the error in RSR, and performs a descriptor refill before allowing NAPI to continue. To isolate this critical repair phase from asynchronous bus errors, the HRESP interrupt is transiently masked. This GEM-specific implementation is separated from the legacy MACB polling to avoid regressions on older architectures. Signed-off-by: Yannick Serafini <yannick.serafini@wifx.net>

The bug and this patch can be easily tested using Packet Sender application with its UDP Traffic Generator utils : Without patch, the Ethernet controller gets stuck almost instantly (in few dozen of seconds). Note: the standard Ethernet controller behaviour and performance like bandwidth is not affected by the patch, it just makes the ATSAMA5Dxx a true network compatible CPU. |

commit a53e356 upstream. While testing rpmsg-char interface it was noticed that duplicate sysfs entries are getting created and below warning is noticed. Reason for this is that we are leaking rpmsg device pointer, setting it null without actually unregistering device. Any further attempts to unregister fail because rpdev is NULL, resulting in a leak. Fix this by unregistering rpmsg device before removing its reference from rpmsg channel. sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/soc@0/3700000.remot eproc/remoteproc/remoteproc1/3700000.remoteproc:glink-edge/3700000.remoteproc: glink-edge.adsp_apps.-1.-1' [ 114.115347] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 9 Comm: kworker/0:0 Not tainted 6.16.0-rc4 #7 PREEMPT [ 114.115355] Hardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

[ Upstream commit 2a71a1a ] skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region, [1] unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field. [2] This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace via sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg(). The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone() (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1] 2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone [3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE) 5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb [4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no usercopy whitelist [5] When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation: [ 5.379589] usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object 'skbuff_fclone_cache' (offset 296, size 16)!

[ Upstream commit 54ef024 ] ice_reset_all_vfs() ignores the return value of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi(). When the VSI rebuild fails (e.g. during NVM firmware update via nvmupdate64e), ice_vsi_rebuild() tears down the VSI on its error path, leaving txq_map and rxq_map as NULL. The subsequent unconditional call to ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() leads to a NULL pointer dereference in ice_ena_vf_q_mappings() when it accesses vsi->txq_map[0]. The single-VF reset path in ice_reset_vf() already handles this correctly by checking the return value of ice_vf_reconfig_vsi() and skipping ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() on failure. Apply the same pattern to ice_reset_all_vfs(): check the return value of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi() and skip ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() and ice_eswitch_attach_vf() on failure. The VF is left safely disabled (ICE_VF_STATE_INIT not set, VFGEN_RSTAT not set to VFACTIVE) and can be recovered via a VFLR triggered by a PCI reset of the VF (sysfs reset or driver rebind). Note that this patch does not prevent the VF VSI rebuild from failing during NVM update — the underlying cause is firmware being in a transitional state while the EMP reset is processed, which can cause Admin Queue commands (ice_add_vsi, ice_cfg_vsi_lan) to fail. This patch only prevents the subsequent NULL pointer dereference that crashes the kernel when the rebuild does fail. crash> bt PID: 50795 TASK: ff34c9ee708dc680 CPU: 1 COMMAND: "kworker/u512:5" #0 [ff72159bcfe5bb50] machine_kexec at ffffffffaa8850ee #1 [ff72159bcfe5bba8] __crash_kexec at ffffffffaaa15fba #2 [ff72159bcfe5bc68] crash_kexec at ffffffffaaa16540 #3 [ff72159bcfe5bc70] oops_end at ffffffffaa837eda #4 [ff72159bcfe5bc90] page_fault_oops at ffffffffaa893997 #5 [ff72159bcfe5bce8] exc_page_fault at ffffffffab528595 #6 [ff72159bcfe5bd10] asm_exc_page_fault at ffffffffab600bb2 [exception RIP: ice_ena_vf_q_mappings+0x79] RIP: ffffffffc0a85b29 RSP: ff72159bcfe5bdc8 RFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: 00000000000f0000 RBX: ff34c9efc9c00000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000010 RDI: ff34c9efc9c00000 RBP: ff34c9efc27d4828 R8: 0000000000000093 R9: 0000000000000040 R10: ff34c9efc27d4828 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: 0000000000100000 R13: 0000000000000010 R14: R15: ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 #7 [ff72159bcfe5bdf8] ice_sriov_post_vsi_rebuild at ffffffffc0a85e2e [ice] #8 [ff72159bcfe5be08] ice_reset_all_vfs at ffffffffc0a920b4 [ice] #9 [ff72159bcfe5be48] ice_service_task at ffffffffc0a31519 [ice] #10 [ff72159bcfe5be88] process_one_work at ffffffffaa93dca4 #11 [ff72159bcfe5bec8] worker_thread at ffffffffaa93e9de #12 [ff72159bcfe5bf18] kthread at ffffffffaa946663 #13 [ff72159bcfe5bf50] ret_from_fork at ffffffffaa8086b9 The panic occurs attempting to dereference the NULL pointer in RDX at ice_sriov.c:294, which loads vsi->txq_map (offset 0x4b8 in ice_vsi).

This patch addresses a controller freeze occurring under high incoming traffic loads on GEM-based platforms like the ATSAMA5D41. When the DMA exhausted all available buffers, it triggered a Buffer Not Available (BNA) condition in the Receive Status Register (RSR).
On this hardware, clearing the BNA flag without first resolving the underlying resource shortage caused the controller to enter a permanent blocked state. The recovery logic introduced here forces a slot release by incrementing the consumer index (rx_tail), acknowledges the error in RSR, and performs a descriptor refill before allowing NAPI to continue. To isolate this critical repair phase from asynchronous bus errors, the HRESP interrupt is transiently masked. This GEM-specific implementation is separated from the legacy MACB polling to avoid regressions on older architectures.
