Subject: [PATCH net v2] ice: Fix use-after-scope in ice_sched_add_nodes_to_layer()
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:21:55 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617072155.1172432-1-nobodqwe@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit 7fb09a737536 ("ice: Modify recursive way of adding nodes")
changed ice_sched_add_nodes_to_layer() from recursive control flow to an
iterative loop.
Inside the loop, first_teid_ptr may be set to the address of a
block-local variable:
u32 temp;
...
if (num_added)
first_teid_ptr = &temp;
On the next loop iteration, first_teid_ptr may be passed to
ice_sched_add_nodes_to_hw_layer(), after temp from the previous
iteration has gone out of scope.
Instead of keeping temporary storage for later calls, allow
first_node_teid to be NULL when the caller does not need the TEID.
This was found by Clang with LifetimeSafety enabled while testing C
language support on a Linux allmodconfig build.

v2:
- Allow first_node_teid to be NULL when callers do not need the TEID.
- Pass NULL after the first TEID has already been returned instead of using
temporary stack storage.
- Update kernel-doc for helpers accepting NULL.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260613101440.80190-1-nobodqwe@gmail.com/
- Compile-tested with:
