Subject: [PATCH v3] team: reject CAN and IEEE 802.15.4 devices in team_port_add
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 10:35:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013083523.4728-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
From: Jiale Yao <yaojiale02@163.com>
Enslaving a CAN or IEEE 802.15.4 device (e.g. vxcan, wpan0) to a
team master triggers a NULL pointer dereference because these
device types use different Layer 2 architectures from Ethernet and
the team driver never initializes their private mid-layer data
structures.
Reject ARPHRD_CAN, ARPHRD_IEEE802154, and ARPHRD_IEEE802154_MONITOR
devices in team_port_add(), mirroring the existing CAN check already
present in the bonding driver since commit 8ba68464e478 ("bonding:
refuse to enslave CAN devices").
