Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 2/2] net: dsa: microchip: linearize skb for tail-tagging switches
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 14:25:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905182530.3041307-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250905182530.3041307-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Jakob Unterwurzacher <jakobunt@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit ba54bce747fa9e07896c1abd9b48545f7b4b31d2 ]
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.
