Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] bonding: fix null-ptr-deref in bond_rr_gen_slave_id()
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:22:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227092254.272603-2-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227092254.272603-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@shopee.com>
bond_rr_gen_slave_id() dereferences bond->rr_tx_counter without a NULL
check. rr_tx_counter is a per-CPU counter only allocated in bond_open()
when the bond mode is round-robin. If the bond device was never brought
up, rr_tx_counter remains NULL, causing a null-ptr-deref.
The XDP redirect path can reach this code even when the bond is not up:
bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key is a global static key, so when any bond
device has native XDP attached, the XDP_TX -> xdp_master_redirect()
interception is enabled for all bond slaves system-wide. This allows the
path xdp_master_redirect() -> bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave() ->
bond_xdp_xmit_roundrobin_slave_get() -> bond_rr_gen_slave_id() to be
reached on a bond that was never opened.
The normal TX path (bond_xmit_roundrobin) is not affected because TX
requires the bond to be UP, which guarantees rr_tx_counter is allocated.
However, bond_xmit_get_slave() (ndo_get_xmit_slave) has the same code
pattern via bond_xmit_roundrobin_slave_get() and could theoretically
hit the same issue.
Fix this by introducing bond_create_init() to allocate rr_tx_counter
unconditionally at device creation time. It is called from both
bond_create() and bond_newlink() before register_netdevice(), and
returns -ENOMEM on failure so callers can propagate the error cleanly.
bond_setup() is not suitable for this allocation as it is a void
callback with no error return path. The conditional allocation in
bond_open() is removed. Since bond_destructor() already unconditionally
calls free_percpu(bond->rr_tx_counter), the lifecycle is clean:
allocate at creation, free at destruction.
Fixes: 879af96ffd72 ("net, core: Add support for XDP redirection to slave device")
