Subject: 答复: [PATCH] RDMA/mlx5: Restore flow_attr-first layout in leftovers flow rules
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:55:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6f0e14ef38f64012a447e5e90102d0ca@baidu.com> (raw)

> Commit e91fb8b9d0ed ("RDMA/mlx5: Avoid flexible array warning") split the
> leftovers_specs[] array into two separate structs to silence the "array of flexible
> structures" sparse warning, but in doing so reversed the member order: eth_flow
> was placed before flow_attr.
> 
> _create_flow_rule() locates the flow specs with:
> 
>     ib_flow = (void *)flow_attr + sizeof(*flow_attr);
> 
> which expects the spec data to immediately follow the ib_flow_attr.
> With the reversed order, flow_attr is the last member, so ib_flow points past the
> end of the struct and the num_of_specs = 1 loop reads out-of-bounds memory
> (whatever static data follows in the .data section), producing incorrect flow
> rules or a crash.
> 
> Restore flow_attr as the first member so the eth_flow spec again sits at the offset
> _create_flow_rule() expects.  The two structs are no longer arrays, so the "array
> of flexible structures" warning does not re-occur.
