Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 3/3] net: ravb: avoid dereferencing an invalid PTP clock
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 13:07:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909170701.3189413-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909170701.3189413-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
[ Upstream commit 1f77af0aaf277413ff32f6ff8c2c4282bd64c897 ]
The PTP clock is unavailable before the first open, so querying its
index can dereference a NULL pointer. Registration failures can also
leave an error pointer in priv->ptp.clock.
Cache the PHC index separately and report -1 while no clock is
registered. Normalize registration errors to NULL and preserve the
static timestamping capabilities.
Fixes: a0d2f20650e8 ("Renesas Ethernet AVB PTP clock driver")
