[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: macb: fix the link speed the taprio setup reads
From: Aleksei Sviridkin
Date: Thu Sep 03 2026 - 08:40:28 EST
Two small fixes in macb_taprio_setup_replace(), both in how it obtains
the link speed it scales the schedule with.
The first: it hands phylink_ethtool_ksettings_get() a stack variable
it never zeroed, while phylink fills only what the link mode provides
and even reads one field back from the caller. The second: the speed
check is written as "<= 0" on a u32, so SPEED_UNKNOWN passes it and
turns into a 1 ns hardware limit that every entry then exceeds.
Compile-tested against net; the driver has no test surface, and no
macb board here.

v2: both commit messages rewritten to name the uninitialised-memory
case first and the link-down case as the one that happens; the
grown declaration keeps reverse xmas tree order; the error text is
"Invalid speed %d, link-down?" (Théo Lebrun). ethtool_validate_speed()
was considered for the check and does not fit: it accepts
SPEED_UNKNOWN by definition, which is exactly the value patch 2
rejects (Andrew Lunn).
