Subject: [PATCH net-next] ethtool: tsconfig: reject zero-valued tx_type and rx_filter bitsets
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:22:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812162230.1837788-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
The ffs()/fls() guard in ethnl_set_tsconfig() was meant to enforce
that the user selects exactly one tx_type (and one rx_filter)
at a time (off / none are explicit types with non-zero values).
However, both ffs(0) and fls(0) return 0, so the guard passes
a zero-valued bitset through.
The subsequent ffs(req_tx_type) - 1 would produce -1, if user selected
no bit. net_hwtstamp_validate() catches the invalid -1 downstream,
but returns a generic error (-ERANGE) without telling the user
what went wrong. Return -EINVAL + extack instead.
Replace the ffs()/fls() comparison with a hweight32() == 1 check.
