In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: sfc: add missing xdp queue reinitialization After rx/tx ring buffer size is changed, kernel panic occurs when it acts XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT. When tx/rx ring buffer size is changed(ethtool -G), sfc driver reallocates and reinitializes rx and tx queues and their buffer (tx_queue->buffer). But it misses reinitializing xdp queues(efx->xdp_tx_queues). So, while it is acting XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT, it uses the uninitialized tx_queue->buffer. A new function efx_set_xdp_channels() is separated from efx_set_channels() to handle only xdp queues. Splat looks like: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000002a #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#4] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:efx_tx_map_chunk+0x54/0x90 [sfc] CPU: 2 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Tainted: G D 5.17.0+ #55 e8beeee8289528f11357029357cf Code: 48 8b 8d a8 01 00 00 48 8d 14 52 4c 8d 2c d0 44 89 e0 48 85 c9 74 0e 44 89 e2 4c 89 f6 48 80 RSP: 0018:ffff92f121e45c60 EFLAGS: 00010297 RIP: 0010:efx_tx_map_chunk+0x54/0x90 [sfc] RAX: 0000000000000040 RBX: ffff92ea506895c0 RCX: ffffffffc0330870 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 00000001139b10ce RDI: ffff92ea506895c0 RBP: ffffffffc0358a80 R08: 00000001139b110d R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffff92ea414c0088 R12: 0000000000000040 R13: 0000000000000018 R14: 00000001139b10ce R15: ffff92ea506895c0 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff92f121ec0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 Code: 48 8b 8d a8 01 00 00 48 8d 14 52 4c 8d 2c d0 44 89 e0 48 85 c9 74 0e 44 89 e2 4c 89 f6 48 80 CR2: 000000000000002a CR3: 00000003e6810004 CR4: 00000000007706e0 RSP: 0018:ffff92f121e85c60 EFLAGS: 00010297 PKRU: 55555554 RAX: 0000000000000040 RBX: ffff92ea50689700 RCX: ffffffffc0330870 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 00000001145a90ce RDI: ffff92ea50689700 RBP: ffffffffc0358a80 R08: 00000001145a9
