net: davicom: fix UAF in dm9000_drv_remove

2025-01-27T23:05:37+00:00

dm is netdev private data and it cannot be used after free_netdev() call. Using dm after free_netdev() can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the function. This is similar to the issue fixed in commit ad297cd2db89 ("net: qcom/emac: fix UAF in emac_remove"). This bug is detected by our static analysis tool.

net: ethernet: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-04T23:39:56+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/ethernet to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

net: ethernet: davicom: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-09-20T08:06:38+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Use of_property_read_bool() for boolean properties

2023-03-16T17:41:28+00:00

It is preferred to use typed property access functions (i.e. of_property_read_ functions) rather than low-level of_get_property/of_find_property functions for reading properties. Convert reading boolean properties to of_property_read_bool().

net: davicom: Fix return type of dm9000_start_xmit

2022-09-20T01:23:14+00:00

The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev). The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying function definition does not match the function hook definition. The return type of dm9000_start_xmit should be changed from int to netdev_tx_t.

net: davicom: dm9000: switch to using gpiod API

2022-09-15T09:43:51+00:00

This patch switches the driver away from legacy gpio/of_gpio API to gpiod API, and removes use of of_get_named_gpio_flags() which I want to make private to gpiolib.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl

2021-07-27T19:11:45+00:00

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP. Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands. This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find their way through the implementation.
