Subject: [PATCH 6.18 35/52] ice: fix crash in ethtool offline loopback test
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 17:54:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017155105.974905527@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017155104.830766652@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit a9c354e656597aededa027d63d2ff0973f6b033f ]
Since the conversion of ice to page pool, the ethtool loopback test
crashes:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000000c

It crashes because we have not initialized libeth for the rx ring.
Fix it by treating ICE_VSI_LB VSIs slightly more like normal PF VSIs and
letting them have a q_vector. It's just a dummy, because the loopback
test does not use interrupts, but it contains a napi struct that can be
passed to libeth_rx_fq_create() called from ice_vsi_cfg_rxq() ->
ice_rxq_pp_create().
