Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:12:42 UTC
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:
