Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5: Fix slab-out-of-bounds when handling team device events
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 19:21:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922135123.46205-1-avirdi@redhat.com> (raw)
The mlx5_handle_changeupper_event() and mlx5_handle_changeinfodata_event()
functions assume the upper device is a bonding device and call bonding-
specific
APIs like bond_slave_get_rcu() and bond_is_slave_inactive().
When a device is enslaved to a team master instead of bonding, the code
attempts to access the team_port structure as if it were a bond slave
structure. Since team_port is smaller than slave, this causes KASAN to
detect an out-of-bounds memory access.
Fix this by checking explicitly for bonding devices using
netif_is_bond_master() instead of the generic netif_is_lag_master() which
includes both bonding and team devices. This ensures mlx5 only processes
bonding events, not team events, preventing the invalid memory access.
Tested with Mellanox ConnectX-5 on Linux 7.2.0-rc6:
- Bonding: PASS (no regressions)
- Team device: PASS (no KASAN errors)
Fixes: 54493a08e21f ("net/mlx5: Lag, record inactive state of bond device")
