Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: fix NULL pointer dereference in actor_port_prio setting
Date: Wed,  5 Nov 2025 07:26:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251105072620.164841-1-liuhangbin@gmail.com> (raw)

Liang reported an issue where setting a slave’s actor_port_prio to
predefined values such as 0, 255, or 65535 would cause a system crash.

The problem occurs because in bond_opt_parse(), when the provided value
matches a predefined table entry, the function returns that table entry,
which does not contain slave information. Later, in
bond_option_actor_port_prio_set(), calling bond_slave_get_rtnl() leads
to a NULL pointer dereference.

Since actor_port_prio is defined as a u16 and initialized to the default
value of 255 in ad_initialize_port(), there is no need for the
bond_actor_port_prio_tbl. Using the BOND_OPTFLAG_RAWVAL flag is sufficient.

Fixes: 6b6dc81ee7e8 ("bonding: add support for per-port LACP actor priority")
Reported-by: Liang Li <liali@redhat.com>

BTW, the logic in bond_opt_parse() may also need an update after we have
f2b3b28ce523 ("bonding: add slave_dev field for bond_opt_value"), as we
may need range checking on slave options in future. But this should
be another patch and not urgent as this one.
