Subject: CVE-2025-21663: net: stmmac: dwmac-tegra: Read iommu stream id from device tree
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: dwmac-tegra: Read iommu stream id from device tree
Nvidia's Tegra MGBE controllers require the IOMMU "Stream ID" (SID) to be
written to the MGBE_WRAP_AXI_ASID0_CTRL register.
The current driver is hard coded to use MGBE0's SID for all controllers.
This causes softirq time outs and kernel panics when using controllers
other than MGBE0.
Example dmesg errors when an ethernet cable is connected to MGBE1:

This bug has existed since the dwmac-tegra driver was added in Dec 2022
(See Fixes tag below for commit hash).
The Tegra234 SOC has 4 MGBE controllers, however Nvidia's Developer Kit
only uses MGBE0 which is why the bug was not found previously. Connect Tech
has many products that use 2 (or more) MGBE controllers.
The solution is to read the controller's SID from the existing "iommus"
device tree property. The 2nd field of the "iommus" device tree property
is the controller's SID.
Device tree snippet from tegra234.dtsi showing MGBE1's "iommus" property:
smmu_niso0: iommu@...00000 {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra234-smmu", "nvidia,smmu-500";
...
}
/* MGBE1 */
ethernet@...0000 {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra234-mgbe";
...
iommus = <&smmu_niso0 TEGRA234_SID_MGBE_VF1>;
...
}
Nvidia's arm-smmu driver reads the "iommus" property and stores the SID in
the MGBE device's "fwspec" struct. The dwmac-tegra driver can access the
SID using the tegra_dev_iommu_get_stream_id() helper function found in
linux/iommu.h.
Calling tegra_dev_iommu_get_stream_id() should not fail unless the "iommus"
property is removed from the device tree or the IOMMU is disabled.
While the Tegra234 SOC technically supports bypassing the IOMMU, it is not
supported by the current firmware, has not been tested and not recommended.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-21663 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/235419f0956e8c60e597aa1619ded8bda7460bb4
