Subject: [PATCH net v6 1/2] net, bpf: fix null-ptr-deref in xdp_master_redirect() for down master
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:37:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410113726.368111-2-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410113726.368111-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
syzkaller reported a kernel panic in bond_rr_gen_slave_id() reached via
xdp_master_redirect(). Full decoded trace:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=80e046b8da2820b6ba73
bond_rr_gen_slave_id() dereferences bond->rr_tx_counter, a per-CPU
counter that bonding only allocates in bond_open() when the mode is
round-robin. If the bond device was never brought up, rr_tx_counter
stays NULL.
The XDP redirect path can still reach that code on a bond that was
never opened: bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key is a global static key,
so as soon as any bond device has native XDP attached, the
XDP_TX -> xdp_master_redirect() interception is enabled for every
slave system-wide. The path xdp_master_redirect() ->
bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave() -> bond_xdp_xmit_roundrobin_slave_get() ->
bond_rr_gen_slave_id() then runs against a bond that has no
rr_tx_counter and crashes.
Fix this in the generic xdp_master_redirect() by refusing to call into
the master's ->ndo_xdp_get_xmit_slave() when the master device is not
up. IFF_UP is only set after ->ndo_open() has successfully returned,
so this reliably excludes masters whose XDP state has not been fully
initialized. Drop the frame with XDP_ABORTED so the exception is
visible via trace_xdp_exception() rather than silently falling through.
This is not specific to bonding: any current or future master that
defers XDP state allocation to ->ndo_open() is protected.
Fixes: 879af96ffd72 ("net, core: Add support for XDP redirection to slave device")
