Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v1] ice: fix UAF/NULL deref when VSI rebuild and XDP attach race
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 09:01:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260418090137.411506-1-kohei@enjuk.jp> (raw)
ice_xdp_setup_prog() unconditionally hot-swaps xdp_prog when
ICE_VSI_REBUILD_PENDING is set. In the attach path, this can publish a
new rx_ring->xdp_prog before rx_ring->xdp_ring becomes valid while the
rebuild is pending. As a result, ice_clean_rx_irq() may dereference
rx_ring->xdp_ring too early.
With high-volume RX packets, running these commands in parallel
triggered a KASAN splat [1].
# ethtool --reset $DEV irq dma filter offload
# ip link set dev $DEV xdp {obj $OBJ sec xdp,off}
Fix this by rejecting XDP attach while rebuild is pending.
Keep XDP detach allowed in this window. Detach clears rx_ring->xdp_prog,
so the RX path will not attempt to access rx_ring->xdp_ring.
