Subject: [PATCH net v4 1/2] net: ravb: avoid dereferencing an invalid PTP clock
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 18:37:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811103733.62599-2-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811103733.62599-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
The PTP clock is unavailable before the first open, so querying its
index can dereference a NULL pointer. Registration failures can also
leave an error pointer in priv->ptp.clock.
Cache the PHC index separately and report -1 while no clock is
registered. Normalize registration errors to NULL and preserve the
static timestamping capabilities.
Fixes: a0d2f20650e8 ("Renesas Ethernet AVB PTP clock driver")
