Subject: [PATCH] net: airoha: Fix skb->priority underflow in
 airoha_dev_select_queue()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In airoha_dev_select_queue(), the expression:

  queue = (skb->priority - 1) % AIROHA_NUM_QOS_QUEUES;

implicitly converts to unsigned arithmetic: when skb->priority is 0
(the default for unclassified traffic), (0u - 1u) wraps to UINT_MAX,
and UINT_MAX % 8 = 7, routing default best-effort packets to the
highest-priority QoS queue. This causes QoS inversion where the
majority of traffic on a PON gateway starves actual high-priority
flows (VoIP, gaming, etc.).

The "- 1" offset was a leftover from the ETS offload implementation
that has since been removed. The correct mapping is a direct modulo:

  queue = skb->priority % AIROHA_NUM_QOS_QUEUES;

This maps priority 0 → queue 0 (lowest), priority 7 → queue 7
(highest), with higher priorities wrapping around. This is the
standard Linux sk_prio → HW queue mapping used by other drivers.
