That in turn could cause unexpected tx lock and timeout. Dropping the early check avoids the race, implicitly relaying on later tests under the relevant lock. With such change, all the other mptcp_send_head() call sites are now under the msk socket lock and we can additionally drop the now unneeded annotation on the transmit head pointer accesses.

When the connected MAC enables EEE, it causes link instability and communication failures. The issue is reproducible with a iMX8MP and relevant stmmac ethernet port. Since the introduction of phylink-managed EEE support in the stmmac driver, EEE is now enabled by default, leading to issues on systems using the DP83867 PHY.

The P2P interfaces were available when wpa_supplicant is managing the wlan interface. However, the P2P interfaces are not created/initialized when only hostapd is managing the wlan interface. And if hostapd receives an ANQP Query REQ Action frame even from an un-associated STA, the brcmfmac driver tries to use an uninitialized P2P vif pointer for sending the IOVAR to firmware. This NULL pointer dereferencing triggers a driver crash.

This way, even if P2P vif is not available, the IOVAR is sent to firmware on AP vif and the ANQP Query RESP Action frame is transmitted without crashing the driver. Move init_completion() for "send_af_done" from brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev() to brcmf_p2p_attach(). Because the former function would not get executed when only hostapd is managing wlan interface, and it is not safe to do reinit_completion() later in brcmf_p2p_tx_action_frame(), without any prior init_completion(). And in the brcmf_p2p_tx_action_frame() function, the condition check for P2P Presence response frame is not needed, since the wpa_supplicant is properly sending the P2P Presense Response frame on the P2P-GO vif instead of the P2P-Device vif.

Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki(a)intel.com> Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 19:12:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: governors: menu: Select polling state in some more cases A throughput regression of 11% introduced by commit 779b1a1cb13a ("cpuidle: governors: menu: Avoid selecting states with too much latency") has been reported and it is related to the case when the menu governor checks if selecting a proper idle state instead of a polling one makes sense. In particular, it is questionable to do so if the exit latency of the idle state in question exceeds the predicted idle duration, so add a check for that, which is sufficient to make the reported regression go away, and update the related code comment accordingly.

When the connected MAC enables EEE, it causes link instability and communication failures. The issue is reproducible with a iMX8MP and relevant stmmac ethernet port. Since the introduction of phylink-managed EEE support in the stmmac driver, EEE is now enabled by default, leading to issues on systems using the DP83867 PHY. Call phy_disable_eee during phy initialization to prevent EEE from being enabled on DP83867 PHYs.

Only the first invocation of pm_restrict_gfp_mask() will actually restrict the GFP mask and the subsequent calls will warn if there is a mismatch between the expected allowed GFP mask and the actual one. Moreover, if pm_restrict_gfp_mask() is called many times in a row, pm_restore_gfp_mask() needs to be called matching number of times in a row to actually restore the GFP mask. Calling it when the GFP mask has not been restricted will cause it to warn. This is necessary for the GFP mask restriction starting in hibernation_snapshot() to continue throughout the entire hibernation flow until it completes or it is aborted (either by a wakeup event or by an error).
