Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: macb: Validate the value of base_time properly
Date: Mon,  1 Sep 2025 21:59:19 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250901162923.627765-1-chandramohan.explore@gmail.com> (raw)

In macb_taprio_setup_replace(), the value of start_time is being
compared against zero which would never be true since start_time
is an unsigned value. Due to this there is a chance that an
incorrect config base time value can be used for computation.

Fix by checking the value of conf->base_time directly.
This issue was reported by static coverity analyzer.

Fixes: 89934dbf169e3 ("net: macb: Add TAPRIO traffic scheduling support")
