Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-6.12] net: sfp: add quirk for Lantech 8330-265D
Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 16:23:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260214212452.782265-88-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260214212452.782265-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Marek Behún <kabel@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 86a8e8e0ddbc3d14c799536eb888180b84d002f3 ]
Similar to Lantech 8330-262D-E, the Lantech 8330-265D also reports
2500MBd instead of 3125MBd.
Also, all 8330-265D report normal RX_LOS in EEPROM, but some signal
inverted RX_LOS. We therefore need to ignore RX_LOS on these modules.

## Analysis of SFP Quirk Addition for Lantech 8330-265D
### Commit Message Analysis
The commit adds a hardware quirk for the Lantech 8330-265D SFP module.
It addresses two specific hardware issues:
1. **Incorrect speed reporting**: The module reports 2500MBd instead of
the correct 3125MBd in its EEPROM, preventing it from being
recognized as a 2500base-X capable module.
2. **Inverted RX_LOS signal**: Some units of this module report inverted
Loss-of-Signal, while the EEPROM claims normal LOS behavior. Since
the behavior is inconsistent across units, the fix ignores LOS
entirely.
The commit explicitly references similarity to an existing quirk
(Lantech 8330-262D-E), establishing a pattern.
### Code Change Analysis
The change is minimal and contained:
- **2 lines added**: A new `SFP_QUIRK()` entry for "Lantech" /
"8330-265D" with `sfp_quirk_2500basex` and `sfp_fixup_ignore_los`
- **Comment updated**: The existing comment for the 8330-262D-E is
expanded to cover the 8330-265D as well, and explains the LOS issue
- **No new functions or infrastructure**: Uses existing quirk macros
(`SFP_QUIRK`) and existing fixup functions (`sfp_quirk_2500basex`,
`sfp_fixup_ignore_los`)
### Classification: Hardware Quirk
This falls squarely into the **SFP/Network Quirks** exception category
explicitly mentioned in the stable backport guidelines. SFP quirks for
optical modules with broken behavior are specifically called out as
appropriate for stable trees.
### Risk Assessment
- **Risk: Extremely Low** — The quirk only triggers for modules with
vendor string "Lantech" and product string "8330-265D". It cannot
affect any other hardware.
- **Scope: Minimal** — Two lines of data-driven code in an existing
quirk table. No logic changes.
- **Dependencies: None** — The `SFP_QUIRK` macro, `sfp_quirk_2500basex`,
and `sfp_fixup_ignore_los` all already exist in the codebase. This
commit is fully self-contained.
### User Impact
Without this quirk:
- The Lantech 8330-265D SFP module **cannot operate at 2500base-X**
because the kernel misinterprets its EEPROM data
- Some units exhibit **random link drops or failure to establish link**
due to inverted RX_LOS being treated as actual signal loss
These are real, user-impacting hardware issues that make the SFP module
non-functional or unreliable.
### Stability Indicators
- Author is **Marek Behún**, the SFP subsystem maintainer — he deeply
understands this code
- Reviewed and merged by **Jakub Kicinski**, the networking subsystem
maintainer
- Follows an established pattern (identical approach to existing
8330-262D-E quirk)
- The fixup functions used (`sfp_quirk_2500basex`,
`sfp_fixup_ignore_los`) are well-tested and used by other quirk
entries
### Conclusion
This is a textbook example of a hardware quirk that belongs in stable
trees. It's a tiny, self-contained, zero-risk addition to an existing
quirk table that makes specific hardware work correctly. It uses only
pre-existing infrastructure, was authored and reviewed by the relevant
maintainers, and fixes real hardware issues (incorrect speed negotiation
and unreliable link due to inverted LOS).
**YES**
