Subject: [PATCH net] net: fix potential out-of-bound access in set_rps_cpu()
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 14:43:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220144344.2548121-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
Blamed commit forgot that set_rps_cpu() was reloading
rxqueue->rps_flow_table.
If this pointer has changed between get_rps_cpu() read it initially,
and the new table size is smaller than @flow_id,
we can access out-of-bound data and either corrupt memory or crash.
Fix this by passing the flow_table pointer from get_rps_cpu()
to set_rps_cpu(), more in line with RCU rules.
Fixes: 48aa30443e52 ("net: Cache hash and flow_id to avoid recalculation")
