Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5e: Fix NULL deref in PTP TX timestamp recovery warn
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 11:02:18 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015080218.1102172-1-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
From: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@nvidia.com>
PTP SQs are allocated via mlx5e_ptp_alloc_txqsq(), which never sets
sq->channel. The excessive port timestamp delta recovery path
incorrectly used sq->channel->netdev for netdev_warn(), causing a NULL
pointer dereference. Use sq->netdev instead.
Fixes: 391dad2e686f ("net/mlx5e: Recover SQ on excessive PTP TX timestamp delta")
