Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] net/bnxt: fix VF and firmware-facing bounds/leak issues
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 18:24:19 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929002424.1208457-1-Mohammad-Shuab.Siddique@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918032726.763384-1-Mohammad-Shuab.Siddique@broadcom.com>

This series fixes five independent out-of-bounds and memory-leak
issues in VF- and firmware-facing control-path code in the bnxt PMD:
- an unvalidated, firmware-controlled VF ID used to index
bp->pf->vf_info[] before range-checking it,
- firmware-reported ring-group/L2-context counts that were not
clamped before being cast down or summed,
- a VNIC filter list walk during cleanup that stopped after the
first entry (STAILQ_FOREACH()'s advance step reading a next
pointer this same loop had already zeroed via memset()),
- a memory leak on the VF VNIC query error path, and
- a memory leak on the VF info allocation error path.
Each patch is independently bisectable and was validated with a
scoped net/bnxt build (and, for split points, an intermediate-commit
build) in addition to the full compliance gate.
v3:
* Patch 2/5 ("fix bounds on firmware-reported resource counts"):
removed the defense-in-depth clamp v2 added to
bnxt_hwrm_func_resc_qcaps() and fixed the actual bug Stephen
Hemminger found instead -- that function read a uint16_t firmware
field with rte_le_to_cpu_32(). See that patch's own changelog.
* Patch 3/5: retitled from "fix use-after-free in VNIC filter
cleanup" to "fix VNIC filter list walk stopping early" and
rewrote its description -- Stephen Hemminger pointed out
bnxt_free_filter() frees nothing, so the original description was
wrong; the real bug is the early-termination leak. Tried Stephen's
suggested STAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE(), but it isn't portable to this
build (no STAILQ _SAFE variant in glibc's sys/queue.h or in DPDK's
own RTE_TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE() wrapper); kept v2's
STAILQ_FIRST()/STAILQ_REMOVE_HEAD() loop, which is equivalent for
this always-drain-the-head pattern. No code change.
* Patches 1/5, 4/5 and 5/5 are unchanged from v2.
v2:
* Patch 2/5 and patch 5/5 had their Fixes: tag SHA1s corrected to the
full 12-character form per checkpatch's BAD_FIXES_TAG warning. No
functional/code changes anywhere in this series -- patches 1/5,
3/5 and 4/5 were unchanged from v1.
