Subject: [PATCH net] net/stmmac: Set Rx queue page_pool to NULL when freeing DMA resources
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 12:09:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630100953.747868-1-j.raczynski@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: CGME20260630101157eucas1p1b1cef0db9381391bdd9400f1d255ce49@eucas1p1.samsung.com
When freeing RX descriptor resources, there is standard clearing of
descriptor page_pool via page_pool_destroy() which does destroy
page but does not set its pointer to NULL, which must be done by driver
calling this function.
It is not done in __free_dma_rx_desc_resources() when stopping interface,
which is generally not an issue, because __alloc_dma_rx_desc_resources() does
setup this regardless of previous state.
But above is true assuming reinitialization is successful.
In case of failure of page_pool_create() in __alloc_dma_rx_desc_resources(),
all non-NULL pages will be freed, including those already cleared.
So there is possible kernel panic due to wrong paging request at address.
Fix this by assigning NULL to page_pool pointer on free
