Short explanation
The lan966x driver in the Linux kernel fails to fully restore the RX state upon an MTU reload failure. This inconsistency can cause the XDP path to advertise frame sizes that do not match the actual RX pages.
Inconsistent RX state handling following reload failures can cause memory and frame size mismatches within the network subsystem, leading to instability.
What should be done?
- Save and restore rx->page_order and rx->max_mtu fields correctly
- Restore the old page pool registration for each port's XDP RXQ prior to restarting RX
- Follow vendor advisories for updates
Chain of evidence and sources
lan966x_fdma_reload() işlevi, başarısızlık durumunda rx->page_order ve rx->max_mtu alanlarını geri yüklemez.
fdma_alloc_coherent() başarısız olduğunda, geri alma yolu XDP RXQ bellek modeli kaydını eski haline getirmez.
Show the technical text from the sources
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lan966x: restore RX state on reload failure lan966x_fdma_reload() backs up rx->page_pool and rx->fdma before reallocating the RX resources for the new MTU. If the allocation fails, the restore path puts these fields back before restarting RX. However, the reload path also updates rx->page_order and rx->max_mtu before calling lan966x_fdma_rx_alloc(). These fields are not restored on failure, so RX can be restarted with the old pages, old FDMA state and old page pool, but with the page geometry from the failed new MTU. This can make the XDP path advertise a frame size derived from the new page_order while the actual RX pages still come from the old allocation. For example, after a failed reload to a jumbo MTU, xdp_init_buff() may be called with a frame size larger than the restored RX pages. lan966x_fdma_rx_alloc_page_pool() also registers the newly allocated page pool with each port's XDP RXQ before fdma_alloc_coherent() is called. If fdma_alloc_coherent() fails, the new page pool is destroyed, but the rollback path does not restore the per-port XDP RXQ mem model registration either. Save and restore rx->page_order and rx->max_mtu, and restore the old page pool registration for each port's XDP RXQ before RX is started again. This keeps the restored RX state consistent after a failed reload.
