[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: sfp: allow prefix matching in quirk lookup

From: Martino Dell'Ambrogio <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-05 19:00:50
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: ethernet phy library, networking drivers, sff/sfp/sfp+ module support, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Heiner Kallweit, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Russell King, Linus Torvalds

Some clone SFP modules (notably XGS-PON ONT sticks) ship malformed
EEPROMs where the vendor PN field is filled with non-printable garbage
past the trailing legitimate characters instead of SFF-8472 mandated
space padding. The current sfp_match() requires an exact full-field
length match: sfp_strlen() returns 16 (no trailing spaces or NULs to
strip), but strlen() of the quirk string is shorter, so the length
comparison rejects the entry before strncmp() is even called and the
quirk silently never applies. The kernel then honors the module's
spurious TX_FAULT signal and the SFP state machine eventually disables
the module.

Add a prefix_match flag to struct sfp_quirk and a SFP_QUIRK_F_PREFIX
macro. When set, sfp_match() compares only strlen() leading bytes of
the quirk string, ignoring trailing field bytes. Existing exact-match
quirks are unaffected (prefix_match defaults to false via zero-init in
the existing SFP_QUIRK macros).
