Subject: CVE-2021-46947: sfc: adjust efx->xdp_tx_queue_count with the real number of initialized queues

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sfc: adjust efx->xdp_tx_queue_count with the real number of initialized queues

efx->xdp_tx_queue_count is initially initialized to num_possible_cpus() and is
later used to allocate and traverse efx->xdp_tx_queues lookup array. However,
we may end up not initializing all the array slots with real queues during
probing. This results, for example, in a NULL pointer dereference, when running
"# ethtool -S <iface>", similar to below

Fix this by adjusting efx->xdp_tx_queue_count after probing to reflect the true
value of initialized slots in efx->xdp_tx_queues.

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/ebeac958b690123a0b40aa61f688f2f170035fad
