| "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\neth: bnxt: always recalculate features after XDP clearing, fix null-deref\n\nRecalculate features when XDP is detached.\n\nBefore:\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp obj xdp_dummy.bpf.o sec xdp\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp off\n # ethtool -k eth0 | grep gro\n rx-gro-hw: off [requested on]\n\nAfter:\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp obj xdp_dummy.bpf.o sec xdp\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp off\n # ethtool -k eth0 | grep gro\n rx-gro-hw: on\n\nThe fact that HW-GRO doesn't get re-enabled automatically is just\na minor annoyance. The real issue is that the features will randomly\ncome back during another reconfiguration which just happens to invoke\nnetdev_update_features(). The driver doesn't handle reconfiguring\ntwo things at a time very robustly.\n\nStarting with commit 98ba1d931f61 (\"bnxt_en: Fix RSS logic in\n__bnxt_reserve_rings()\") we only reconfigure the RSS hash table\nif the \"effective\" number of Rx rings has changed. If HW-GRO is\nenabled \"effective\" number of rings is 2x what user sees.\nSo if we are in the bad state, with HW-GRO re-enablement \"pending\"\nafter XDP off, and we lower the rings by / 2 - the HW-GRO rings\ndoing 2x and the ethtool -L doing / 2 may cancel each other out,\nand the:\n\n if (old_rx_rings != bp->hw_resc.resv_rx_rings &&\n\ncondition in __bnxt_reserve_rings() will be false.\nThe RSS map won't get updated, and we'll crash with:\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000168\n RIP: 0010:__bnxt_hwrm_vnic_set_rss+0x13a/0x1a0\n bnxt_hwrm_vnic_rss_cfg_p5+0x47/0x180\n __bnxt_setup_vnic_p5+0x58/0x110\n bnxt_init_nic+0xb72/0xf50\n __bnxt_open_nic+0x40d/0xab0\n bnxt_open_nic+0x2b/0x60\n ethtool_set_channels+0x18c/0x1d0\n\nAs we try to access a freed ring.\n\nThe issue is present since XDP support was added, really, but\nprior to commit 98ba1d931f61 (\"bnxt_en: Fix RSS logic in\n__bnxt_reserve_rings()\") it wasn't causing major issues." |
