ipv6: mld: encode multicast exponential fields

2026-05-05T02:09:41Z

In MLD, MRC and QQIC fields are not correctly encoded when generating query packets. Since the receiver of the query interprets these fields using the MLDv2 floating-point decoding logic, any value that exceeds the linear threshold is incorrectly parsed as an exponential value, leading to an incorrect interval calculation. Encode and assign the corresponding protocol fields during query generation. Introduce the logic to dynamically calculate the exponent and mantissa using bit-scan (fls). This ensures MRC (16-bit) and QQIC (8-bit) fields are properly encoded when transmitting query packets with intervals that exceed their respective linear thresholds (32768 for MRD; 128 for QQI). RFC3810: If Maximum Response Code >= 32768, the Maximum Response Code field represents a floating-point value as follows: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |1| exp | mant | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ RFC3810: If QQIC >= 128, the QQIC field represents a floating-point value as follows: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |1| exp | mant | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Reviewed-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: Ujjal Roy Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260502131907.987-5-royujjal@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

ipv6: mld: rename mldv2_mrc() and add mldv2_qqi()

2026-05-05T02:09:41Z

Rename mldv2_mrc() to mldv2_mrd() as it is used to calculate the Maximum Response Delay from the Maximum Response Code. Introduce a new API mldv2_qqi() to define the existing calculation logic of QQI from QQIC. This also organizes the existing mld_update_qi() API.

net/sched: add qstats_cpu_drop_inc() helper

ne2k: fold drivers/net/Space.c into ne.c

2026-05-01T23:46:53Z

drivers/net/Space.c is the last remnant of the linux-2.4.x driver model that required each subsystem and device driver init function to be called from init/main.c explicitly, before the introduction of initcall levels. In linux-7.0, this was only used for a handful of ISA network drivers, with the ne2000 driver being the last one. Fold the code into ne.c directly, with minimal changes to preserve the existing command line parsing.

net: cs89x0: remove ISA bus probing

2026-05-01T23:46:53Z

The cs89x0 driver is really two in one, and they are mutually exclusive: - the ISA driver was used on 486-era PCs. It likely has no remaining users, like the other ethernet drivers that got removed in linux-7.1. The DMA support in here is the last device driver use of the deprecated isa_bus_to_virt() interface, all other users are either x86 specific or or got converted to the normal dma-mapping interface. The driver was maintained by Andrew Morton at the time, based on the linux-2.2 vendor driver from Cirrus Logic. - the platform_driver instance was used on some embedded Arm boards around the same time, such as the EP7211 Development Kit. This is the same chip, but uses modern devicetree based probing and no DMA. This was added by Alexander Shiyan. Remove the ISA driver as a cleanup, including all of the outdated documentation referring to its configuration.
