Subject: [PATCH net v7 7/7] net: mana: keep max_num_cqs immutable once cq_table is allocated
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 10:42:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813174243.3044348-8-longli@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813174243.3044348-1-longli@microsoft.com>
mana_hwc_init_event_handler() applied every HWC_INIT_DATA_MAX_NUM_CQS
event straight to gc->max_num_cqs, but that handler stays live for the
whole channel lifetime, not just bootstrap.
cq_table is allocated once, sized to the bootstrap max_num_cqs, and every
reader bounds-checks a CQ index against gc->max_num_cqs before indexing
it. A later event with a larger value -- from the device or a malicious
host -- inflates the bound past the allocation, so an out-of-range CQ id
then passes the check and indexes cq_table out of bounds (an OOB read in
the EQ path, or an OOB pointer write in mana_create_rxq()/txq()).
Stop writing gc->max_num_cqs from the handler. Store the reported value
in hwc_init_max_num_cqs (WRITE_ONCE()) and let
mana_hwc_establish_channel() commit it to gc->max_num_cqs once
(READ_ONCE()), from the same snapshot that sizes cq_table. The bound then
always matches the allocation and no later event can change it.
Reject an out-of-range CQ id with a rate-limited error and -EPROTO rather
than WARN_ON(): both operands are device-controlled -- a host that omits
MAX_NUM_CQS leaves the bound at 0 -- so WARN_ON() would let a malformed
response panic a panic_on_warn guest.
Fixes: ca9c54d2d6a5 ("net: mana: Add a driver for Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA)")

Changes since v6:
- Reject an out-of-range CQ id with a rate-limited dev_err() and -EPROTO
instead of WARN_ON(): both operands are device-controlled, so WARN_ON()
could panic a panic_on_warn guest.
- Tightened the commit message.
