Subject: [PATCH net 2/4] net: ethernet: cortina: Make RX SKB per-port
Date: Sat, 09 May 2026 00:13:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509-gemini-ethernet-fixes-v1-2-6c5d20ddc35b@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509-gemini-ethernet-fixes-v1-0-6c5d20ddc35b@kernel.org>

The SKB used to assemble packets from fragments in gmac_rx()
is static local, but the Gemini has two ethernet ports, meaning
there can be races between the ports on a bad day if a device
is using both.

Make the RX SKB a per-port variable and carry it over between
invocations in the port struct instead.

Zero the pointer once we call napi_gro_frags(), on error (after
calling napi_free_frags()) or if the port is stopped.

Zero it in some place where not strictly necessary just to
emphasize what is going on.

This was found by Sashiko during normal patch review.
