This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: mscc: ocelot: improve handling of TX timestamp for unknown skb to the 6.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-mscc-ocelot-improve-handling-of-tx-timestamp-for.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 858a5c7ab2b4cc2a294a5bb56d8f7705be411ef8 Author: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 5 16:55:16 2024 +0200 net: mscc: ocelot: improve handling of TX timestamp for unknown skb [ Upstream commit b6fba4b3f0becb794e274430f3a0839d8ba31262 ] This condition, theoretically impossible to trigger, is not really handled well. By "continuing", we are skipping the write to SYS_PTP_NXT which advances the timestamp FIFO to the next entry. So we are reading the same FIFO entry all over again, printing stack traces and eventually killing the kernel. No real problem has been observed here. This is part of a larger rework of the timestamp IRQ procedure, with this logical change split out into a patch of its own. We will need to "goto next_ts" for other conditions as well.
