Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.9 33/40] ibmvnic: Add tx check to prevent skb leak
Date: Tue,  9 Jul 2024 12:19:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240709162007.30160-33-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240709162007.30160-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Nick Child <nnac123@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 0983d288caf984de0202c66641577b739caad561 ]

Below is a summary of how the driver stores a reference to an skb during
transmit:
    tx_buff[free_map[consumer_index]]->skb = new_skb;
    free_map[consumer_index] = IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP;
    consumer_index ++;
Where variable data looks like this:
    free_map == [4, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, 0, 3]
                                               	consumer_index^
    tx_buff == [skb=null, skb=<ptr>, skb=<ptr>, skb=null, skb=null]

The driver has checks to ensure that free_map[consumer_index] pointed to
a valid index but there was no check to ensure that this index pointed
to an unused/null skb address. So, if, by some chance, our free_map and
tx_buff lists become out of sync then we were previously risking an
skb memory leak. This could then cause tcp congestion control to stop
sending packets, eventually leading to ETIMEDOUT.

Therefore, add a conditional to ensure that the skb address is null. If
not then warn the user (because this is still a bug that should be
patched) and free the old pointer to prevent memleak/tcp problems.
