<content type='text'>
The loops in 'qede_tpa_cont()' and 'qede_tpa_end()', iterate
over 'cqe-&gt;len_list[]' using only a zero-length terminator as
the stopping condition. If the terminator was missing or
malformed, the loop could run past the end of the fixed-size array.

Add an explicit bound check using ARRAY_SIZE() in both loops to prevent
a potential out-of-bounds access.

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Add PCI_FIND_NEXT_CAP() and PCI_FIND_NEXT_EXT_CAP() macros that
     take config space accessor functions.

     Implement pci_find_capability(), pci_find_ext_capability(), and
     dwc, dwc endpoint, and cadence capability search interfaces with
     them (Hans Zhang)

   - Leave parent unit address 0 in 'interrupt-map' so that when we
     build devicetree nodes to describe PCI functions that contain
     multiple peripherals, we can build this property even when
     interrupt controllers lack 'reg' properties (Lorenzo Pieralisi)

   - Add a Xeon 6 quirk to disable Extended Tags and limit Max Read
     Request Size to 128B to avoid a performance issue (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Add sysfs 'serial_number' file to expose the Device Serial Number
     (Matthew Wood)

   - Fix pci_acpi_preserve_config() memory leak (Nirmoy Das)

  Resource management:

   - Align m68k pcibios_enable_device() with other arches (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

   - Remove sparc pcibios_enable_device() implementations that don't do
     anything beyond what pci_enable_resources() does (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Remove mips pcibios_enable_resources() and use
     pci_enable_resources() instead (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Clean up bridge window sizing and assignment (Ilpo Järvinen),
     including:

       - Leave non-claimed bridge windows disabled

       - Enable bridges even if a window wasn't assigned because not all
         windows are required by downstream devices

       - Preserve bridge window type when releasing the resource, since
         the type is needed for reassignment

       - Consolidate selection of bridge windows into two new
         interfaces, pbus_select_window() and
         pbus_select_window_for_type(), so this is done consistently

       - Compute bridge window start and end earlier to avoid logging
         stale information

  MSI:

   - Add quirk to disable MSI on RDC PCI to PCIe bridges (Marcos Del Sol
     Vives)

  Error handling:

   - Align AER with EEH by allowing drivers to request a Bus Reset on
     Non-Fatal Errors (in addition to the reset on Fatal Errors that we
     already do) (Lukas Wunner)

   - If error recovery fails, emit FAILED_RECOVERY uevents for the
     devices, not for the bridge leading to them.

     This makes them correspond to BEGIN_RECOVERY uevents (Lukas Wunner)

   - Align AER with EEH by calling err_handler.error_detected()
     callbacks to notify drivers if error recovery fails (Lukas Wunner)

   - Align AER with EEH by restoring device error_state to
     pci_channel_io_normal before the err_handler.slot_reset() callback.

     This is earlier than before the err_handler.resume() callback
     (Lukas Wunner)

   - Emit a BEGIN_RECOVERY uevent when driver's
     err_handler.error_detected() requests a reset, as well as when it
     says recovery is complete or can be done without a reset (Niklas
     Schnelle)

   - Align s390 with AER and EEH by emitting uevents during error
     recovery (Niklas Schnelle)

   - Align EEH with AER and s390 by emitting BEGIN_RECOVERY,
     SUCCESSFUL_RECOVERY, or FAILED_RECOVERY uevents depending on the
     result of err_handler.error_detected() (Niklas Schnelle)

   - Fix a NULL pointer dereference in aer_ratelimit() when ACPI GHES
     error information identifies a device without an AER Capability
     (Breno Leitao)

   - Update error decoding and TLP Log printing for new errors in
     current PCIe base spec (Lukas Wunner)

   - Update error recovery documentation to match the current code
     and use consistent nomenclature (Lukas Wunner)

  ASPM:

   - Enable all ClockPM and ASPM states for devicetree platforms, since
     there's typically no firmware that enables ASPM

     This is a risky change that may uncover hardware or configuration
     defects at boot-time rather than when users enable ASPM via sysfs
     later. Booting with "pcie_aspm=off" prevents this enabling
     (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Remove the qcom code that enabled ASPM (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  Power management:

   - If a device has already been disconnected, e.g., by a hotplug
     removal, don't bother trying to resume it to D0 when detaching the
     driver.

     This avoids annoying "Unable to change power state from D3cold to
     D0" messages (Mario Limonciello)

   - Ensure devices are powered up before config reads for
     'max_link_width', 'current_link_speed', 'current_link_width',
     'secondary_bus_number', and 'subordinate_bus_number' sysfs files.

     This prevents using invalid data (~0) in drivers or lspci and,
     depending on how the PCIe controller reports errors, may avoid
     error interrupts or crashes (Brian Norris)

  Virtualization:

   - Add rescan/remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV, which
     avoids list corruption on s390, where disabling SR-IOV also
     generates hotplug events (Niklas Schnelle)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Free struct p2p_pgmap, not a member within it, in the
     pci_p2pdma_add_resource() error path (Sungho Kim)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Document sysfs interface for BAR assignment of vNTB endpoint
     functions (Jerome Brunet)

   - Fix array underflow in endpoint BAR test case (Dan Carpenter)

   - Skip endpoint IRQ test if the IRQ is out of range to avoid false
     errors (Christian Bruel)

   - Fix endpoint test case for controllers with fixed-size BARs smaller
     than requested by the test (Marek Vasut)

   - Restore inbound translation when disabling doorbell so the endpoint
     doorbell test case can be run more than once (Niklas Cassel)

   - Avoid a NULL pointer dereference when releasing DMA channels in
     endpoint DMA test case (Shin'ichiro Kawasaki)

   - Convert tegra194 interrupt number to MSI vector to fix endpoint
     Kselftest MSI_TEST test case (Niklas Cassel)

   - Reset tegra194 BARs when running in endpoint mode so the BAR tests
     don't overwrite the ATU settings in BAR4 (Niklas Cassel)

   - Handle errors in tegra194 BPMP transactions so we don't mistakenly
     skip future PERST# assertion (Vidya Sagar)

  AMD MDB PCIe controller driver:

   - Update DT binding example to separate PERST# to a Root Port stanza
     to make multiple Root Ports possible in the future (Sai Krishna
     Musham)

   - Add driver support for PERST# being described in a Root Port
     stanza, falling back to the host bridge if not found there (Sai
     Krishna Musham)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Enable the 3.3V Vaux supply if available so devices can request
     wakeup with either Beacon or WAKE# (Richard Zhu)

  MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:

   - Add optional sys clock ready time setting to avoid sys_clk_rdy
     signal glitching in MT6991 and MT8196 (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)

   - Add DT binding and driver support for MT6991 and MT8196
     (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)

  NVIDIA Tegra PCIe controller driver:

   - When asserting PERST#, disable the controller instead of mistakenly
     disabling the PLL twice (Nagarjuna Kristam)

   - Convert struct tegra_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
     nesting error (Marek Vasut)

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Select PCI Power Control Slot driver so slot voltage rails can be
     turned on/off if described in Root Port devicetree node (Qiang Yu)

   - Parse only PCI bridge child nodes in devicetree, skipping unrelated
     nodes such as OPP (Operating Performance Points), which caused
     probe failures (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Add 8.0 GT/s and 32.0 GT/s equalization settings (Ziyue Zhang)

   - Consolidate Root Port 'phy' and 'reset' properties in struct
     qcom_pcie_port, regardless of whether we got them from the Root
     Port node or the host bridge node (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Fetch and map the ELBI register space in the DWC core rather than
     in each driver individually (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Enable ECAM mechanism in DWC core by setting up iATU with 'CFG
     Shift Feature' and use this in the qcom driver (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Add SM8750 compatible to qcom,pcie-sm8550.yaml (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Update qcom,pcie-x1e80100.yaml to allow fifth PCIe host on Qualcomm
     Glymur, which is compatible with X1E80100 but doesn't have the
     cnoc_sf_axi clock (Qiang Yu)

  Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver:

   - Fix a typo that prevented correct PHY initialization (Marek Vasut)

   - Add a missing 1ms delay after PWR reset assertion as required by
     the V4H manual (Marek Vasut)

   - Assure reset has completed before DBI access to avoid SError (Marek
     Vasut)

   - Fix inverted PHY initialization check, which sometimes led to
     timeouts and failure to start the controller (Marek Vasut)

   - Pass the correct IRQ domain to generic_handle_domain_irq() to fix a
     regression when converting to msi_create_parent_irq_domain()
     (Claudiu Beznea)

   - Drop the spinlock protecting the PMSR register - it's no longer
     required since pci_lock already serializes accesses (Marek Vasut)

   - Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
     nesting error (Marek Vasut)

   - Add support for x16 in devicetree 'num-lanes' property (Konrad
     Dybcio)

   - Verify that if DT specifies a single IRQ for all eDMA channels, it
     is named 'dma' (Niklas Cassel)

  TI J721E PCIe driver:

   - Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() so driver can be autoloaded (Siddharth
     Vadapalli)

   - Power controller off before configuring the glue layer so the
     controller latches the correct values on power-on (Siddharth
     Vadapalli)

  TI Keystone PCIe controller driver:

   - Use devm_request_irq() so 'ks-pcie-error-irq' is freed when driver
     exits with error (Siddharth Vadapalli)

list_first_entry() never returns NULL — if the list is empty, it still
returns a pointer to an invalid object, leading to potential invalid
memory access when dereferenced.
The calls to list_first_entry() are always guarded by !list_empty(),
which guarantees a valid entry is returned. Therefore, the additional
`if (!p_buffer) break;` checks in qed_ooo_release_connection_isles(),
qed_ooo_release_all_isles(), and qed_ooo_free() are redundant and
unreachable.

Remove the dead code for clarity and consistency with common list
handling patterns in the kernel. No functional change intended.

<title>net: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users</title>

<id>urn:sha1:27ce71e1ce81875df72f7698ba27988392bef602</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag at the network subsystem, to explicitly
request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release
cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

All existing users have been updated accordingly.

<id>urn:sha1:56c0a2a9ddc2f5b5078c5fb0f81ab76bbc3d4c37</id>
<content type='text'>
In the protection override dump path, the firmware can return far too
many GRC elements, resulting in attempting to write past the end of the
previously-kmalloc'ed dump buffer.

This will result in a kernel panic with reason:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ADDRESS

where "ADDRESS" is just past the end of the protection override dump
buffer. The start address of the buffer is:
 p_hwfn-&gt;cdev-&gt;dbg_features[DBG_FEATURE_PROTECTION_OVERRIDE].dump_buf
and the size of the buffer is buf_size in the same data structure.

The panic can be arrived at from either the qede Ethernet driver path:

    [exception RIP: qed_grc_dump_addr_range+0x108]

or the qedf storage driver path:

 qed_protection_override_dump at ffffffffc068b2ed [qed]
 qed_dbg_protection_override_dump at ffffffffc068c792 [qed]

Resolve this by clamping the firmware's return value to the maximum
number of legal elements the firmware should return.

<content type='text'>
Move the default graceful period from a parameter to
devlink_health_reporter_create() to a field in the
devlink_health_reporter_ops structure.

This change improves consistency, as the graceful period is inherently
tied to the reporter's behavior and recovery policy. It simplifies the
signature of devlink_health_reporter_create() and its internal helper
functions. It also centralizes the reporter configuration at the ops
structure, preparing the groundwork for a downstream patch that will
introduce a devlink health reporter burst period attribute whose
default value will similarly be provided by the driver via the ops
structure.

<title>PCI/ERR: Update device error_state already after reset</title>

After a Fatal Error has been reported by a device and has been recovered
through a Secondary Bus Reset, AER updates the device's error_state to
pci_channel_io_normal before invoking its driver's -&gt;resume() callback.

By contrast, EEH updates the error_state earlier, namely after resetting
the device and before invoking its driver's -&gt;slot_reset() callback.
Commit c58dc575f3c8 ("powerpc/pseries: Set error_state to
pci_channel_io_normal in eeh_report_reset()") explains in great detail
that the earlier invocation is necessitated by various drivers checking
accessibility of the device with pci_channel_offline() and avoiding
accesses if it returns true.  It returns true for any other error_state
than pci_channel_io_normal.

The device should be accessible already after reset, hence the reasoning
is that it's safe to update the error_state immediately afterwards.

This deviation between AER and EEH seems problematic because drivers
behave differently depending on which error recovery mechanism the
platform uses.  Three drivers have gone so far as to update the
error_state themselves, presumably to work around AER's behavior.

For consistency, amend AER to update the error_state at the same recovery
steps as EEH.  Drop the now unnecessary workaround from the three drivers.

Keep updating the error_state before -&gt;resume() in case -&gt;error_detected()
or -&gt;mmio_enabled() return PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED, which causes
-&gt;slot_reset() to be skipped.  There are drivers doing this even for Fatal
Errors, e.g. mhi_pci_error_detected().

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A treewide cleanup of struct cycle_counter const annotations.

  The initial idea of making them const was correct as they were
  seperate instances. When they got embedded into larger data
  structures, which are even modified by the callback this got moot. The
  only reason why this went unnoticed is that the required
  container_of() casts the const attribute forcefully away.

  Stop pretending that it is const"
