Subject: [PATCH 0/4] net/axgbe: fix resource leaks and OOB access
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 08:40:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218164324.915065-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
Code review of the axgbe PMD identified several correctness bugs,
primarily around resource management on error paths in device
initialization and an out-of-bounds descriptor ring access.
Patch 1 fixes multiple resource leak paths in eth_axgbe_dev_init():
- mac_addrs leaked when hash_mac_addrs allocation fails
- hash_mac_addrs leaked when phy_init() fails
- rte_intr_callback_register() return value unchecked
- DMA reset failure via hw_if.exit() logged but not propagated
Patch 2 fixes wrapper_rx_desc_init() which only releases the
current queue on mbuf allocation failure, leaking all mbufs
from previously initialized queues.
Patch 3 adds pthread_mutex_destroy() calls in axgbe_dev_close()
for the four mutexes created during init.
Patch 4 fixes an out-of-bounds read in both Rx and Tx descriptor
status functions where desc[idx + offset] can exceed the ring
size. The offset is now folded into the index before masking.
