Subject: [PATCH net 3/5] eth: nfp: drop the replaced rule from the list when reprogramming fails
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 20:26:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903032611.3000029-4-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903032611.3000029-1-kuba@kernel.org>
nfp_net_fs_add() replaces an existing rule by deleting it from the
hardware, decrementing nn->fs.count and programming the new one. If
nfp_net_fs_add_hw() fails the old entry stays on nn->fs.list - only the
success path reaches list_replace() - so the list is one longer than
nn->fs.count, and it advertises a rule whose hardware entry has already
been torn down.
nn->fs.count is what ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT reports, so userspace then sizes
its buffer one entry short of what the GRXCLSRLALL walk wants to write.
That used to overwrite one u32 past the allocation; since the walk is
bounded it is a permanent -EMSGSIZE instead, as nothing ever resyncs the
counter.
Fixes: 9eb03bb1c035 ("nfp: add ethtool flow steering callbacks")
