net: mvpp2: guard flow control update with global_tx_fc in buffer switching

2026-03-19T09:31:19Z

mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers() unconditionally calls mvpp2_bm_pool_update_priv_fc() when switching between per-cpu and shared buffer pool modes. This function programs CM3 flow control registers via mvpp2_cm3_read()/mvpp2_cm3_write(), which dereference priv->cm3_base without any NULL check. When the CM3 SRAM resource is not present in the device tree (the third reg entry added by commit 60523583b07c ("dts: marvell: add CM3 SRAM memory to cp11x ethernet device tree")), priv->cm3_base remains NULL and priv->global_tx_fc is false. Any operation that triggers mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(), for example an MTU change that crosses the jumbo frame threshold, will crash: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000006 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits pc : readl+0x0/0x18 lr : mvpp2_cm3_read.isra.0+0x14/0x20 Call trace: readl+0x0/0x18 mvpp2_bm_pool_update_fc+0x40/0x12c mvpp2_bm_pool_update_priv_fc+0x94/0xd8 mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers.isra.0+0x80/0x1c0 mvpp2_change_mtu+0x140/0x380 __dev_set_mtu+0x1c/0x38 dev_set_mtu_ext+0x78/0x118 dev_set_mtu+0x48/0xa8 dev_ifsioc+0x21c/0x43c dev_ioctl+0x2d8/0x42c sock_ioctl+0x314/0x378 Every other flow control call site in the driver already guards hardware access with either priv->global_tx_fc or port->tx_fc. mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers() is the only place that omits this check. Add the missing priv->global_tx_fc guard to both the disable and re-enable calls in mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(), consistent with the rest of the driver.

net/mlx5e: Fix race condition during IPSec ESN update

2026-03-19T00:54:53Z

In IPSec full offload mode, the device reports an ESN (Extended Sequence Number) wrap event to the driver. The driver validates this event by querying the IPSec ASO and checking that the esn_event_arm field is 0x0, which indicates an event has occurred. After handling the event, the driver must re-arm the context by setting esn_event_arm back to 0x1. A race condition exists in this handling path. After validating the event, the driver calls mlx5_accel_esp_modify_xfrm() to update the kernel's xfrm state. This function temporarily releases and re-acquires the xfrm state lock. So, need to acknowledge the event first by setting esn_event_arm to 0x1. This prevents the driver from reprocessing the same ESN update if the hardware sends events for other reason. Since the next ESN update only occurs after nearly 2^31 packets are received, there's no risk of missing an update, as it will happen long after this handling has finished. Processing the event twice causes the ESN high-order bits (esn_msb) to be incremented incorrectly. The driver then programs the hardware with this invalid ESN state, which leads to anti-replay failures and a complete halt of IPSec traffic. Fix this by re-arming the ESN event immediately after it is validated, before calling mlx5_accel_esp_modify_xfrm(). This ensures that any spurious, duplicate events are correctly ignored, closing the race window.

net/mlx5e: Prevent concurrent access to IPSec ASO context

2026-03-19T00:54:53Z

The query or updating IPSec offload object is through Access ASO WQE. The driver uses a single mlx5e_ipsec_aso struct for each PF, which contains a shared DMA-mapped context for all ASO operations. A race condition exists because the ASO spinlock is released before the hardware has finished processing WQE. If a second operation is initiated immediately after, it overwrites the shared context in the DMA area. When the first operation's completion is processed later, it reads this corrupted context, leading to unexpected behavior and incorrect results. This commit fixes the race by introducing a private context within each IPSec offload object. The shared ASO context is now copied to this private context while the ASO spinlock is held. Subsequent processing uses this saved, per-object context, ensuring its integrity is maintained.

net/mlx5: qos: Restrict RTNL area to avoid a lock cycle

2026-03-19T00:54:53Z

A lock dependency cycle exists where: 1. mlx5_ib_roce_init -> mlx5_core_uplink_netdev_event_replay -> mlx5_blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes notifier_rwsem) -> mlx5e_mdev_notifier_event -> mlx5_netdev_notifier_register -> register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net (takes rtnl) => notifier_rwsem -> rtnl 2. mlx5e_probe -> _mlx5e_probe -> mlx5_core_uplink_netdev_set (takes uplink_netdev_lock) -> mlx5_blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes notifier_rwsem) => uplink_netdev_lock -> notifier_rwsem 3: devlink_nl_rate_set_doit -> devlink_nl_rate_set -> mlx5_esw_devlink_rate_leaf_tx_max_set -> esw_qos_devlink_rate_to_mbps -> mlx5_esw_qos_max_link_speed_get (takes rtnl) -> mlx5_esw_qos_lag_link_speed_get_locked -> mlx5_uplink_netdev_get (takes uplink_netdev_lock) => rtnl -> uplink_netdev_lock => BOOM! (lock cycle) Fix that by restricting the rtnl-protected section to just the necessary part, the call to netdev_master_upper_dev_get and speed querying, so that the last lock dependency is avoided and the cycle doesn't close. This is safe because mlx5_uplink_netdev_get uses netdev_hold to keep the uplink netdev alive while its master device is queried. Use this opportunity to rename the ambiguously-named "hold_rtnl_lock" argument to "take_rtnl" and remove the "_locked" suffix from mlx5_esw_qos_lag_link_speed_get_locked.

bnxt_en: fix OOB access in DBG_BUF_PRODUCER async event handler

2026-03-17T22:57:57Z

The ASYNC_EVENT_CMPL_EVENT_ID_DBG_BUF_PRODUCER handler in bnxt_async_event_process() uses a firmware-supplied 'type' field directly as an index into bp->bs_trace[] without bounds validation. The 'type' field is a 16-bit value extracted from DMA-mapped completion ring memory that the NIC writes directly to host RAM. A malicious or compromised NIC can supply any value from 0 to 65535, causing an out-of-bounds access into kernel heap memory. The bnxt_bs_trace_check_wrap() call then dereferences bs_trace->magic_byte and writes to bs_trace->last_offset and bs_trace->wrapped, leading to kernel memory corruption or a crash. Fix by adding a bounds check and defining BNXT_TRACE_MAX as DBG_LOG_BUFFER_FLUSH_REQ_TYPE_ERR_QPC_TRACE + 1 to cover all currently defined firmware trace types (0x0 through 0xc).

iavf: fix VLAN filter lost on add/delete race

2026-03-17T20:48:02Z

When iavf_add_vlan() finds an existing filter in IAVF_VLAN_REMOVE state, it transitions the filter to IAVF_VLAN_ACTIVE assuming the pending delete can simply be cancelled. However, there is no guarantee that iavf_del_vlans() has not already processed the delete AQ request and removed the filter from the PF. In that case the filter remains in the driver's list as IAVF_VLAN_ACTIVE but is no longer programmed on the NIC. Since iavf_add_vlans() only picks up filters in IAVF_VLAN_ADD state, the filter is never re-added, and spoof checking drops all traffic for that VLAN.
