Subject: [PATCH net v3] bnxt_en: validate firmware backing store types
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:20:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326142033.82313-1-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323080336.36905-1-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn>
bnxt_hwrm_func_backing_store_qcaps_v2() stores resp->type from the
firmware response in ctxm->type and later uses that value to index
fixed backing-store metadata arrays such as ctx_arr[] and
bnxt_bstore_to_trace[] without a local range check.
Validate the returned type before storing it and abort the query when
firmware reports a type outside BNXT_CTX_V2_MAX. Keep next_valid_type in
a dedicated variable so loop control stays clear for non-valid or
unchanged entries while resp->type is validated directly before use.
Fixes: 6a4d0774f02d ("bnxt_en: Add support for new backing store query firmware API")
Signed-off-by: Pengpeng Hou <pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn>

v3:
- mark the patch for net
- add a Fixes tag
- replace resp_type with next_type for loop control and validate resp->type directly
