Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/5] hv_netvsc: fix the program refcount when the VF refuses XDP
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 18:41:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001014131.310771-2-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001014131.310771-1-kuba@kernel.org>
ndo_bpf() takes over the reference it is passed only on success, the
caller puts it back itself on failure. netvsc_xdp_set() takes that one
plus num_chn - 1 more for its channels, and the rollback after the VF
refuses the program clears the channels again, putting all num_chn of
them. dev_xdp_install() then puts the one it passed in a second time,
and the program can be freed while the fd which loaded it still points
at it.
The VF refuses a program netvsc has already committed to when the
program is single-buffer and the VF has header-data split enabled, when
the VF has a memory provider bound, or when the VF's driver has
conditions of its own.
Reported by Sashiko during core rework. Unverified and untested.
