Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] net: macb: reject an unknown link speed in the taprio setup
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 12:36:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903123652.23900-3-f@lex.la> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903123652.23900-1-f@lex.la>

speed is a u32, so SPEED_UNKNOWN arrives as 0xffffffff and passes the
"speed <= 0" check, which only ever catches zero. That is what an
autonegotiating link reports while it is down: the limit derived from
the speed collapses to a nanosecond at most and the first entry fails
with a misleading "exceeds hardware limit". Zero stays covered, it is
what an interface that was never opened reports, and
enst_max_hw_interval() divides by it. Say which case it was in the
error.

Fixes: 89934dbf169e ("net: macb: Add TAPRIO traffic scheduling support")
Assisted-by: LLM

ethtool_validate_speed() accepts SPEED_UNKNOWN (and zero), so it cannot
replace this check.

v2: error text and message per Théo Lebrun.
