Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: xps: reject an out of range traffic class
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 08:01:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CE030A45-D573-4310-8761-01431156F0D6@doyensec.com> (raw)
Only the entries below dev->num_tc are valid in dev->tc_to_txq[], and
dev->prio_tc_map[] may only name classes below it. netdev_set_num_tc()
lowers dev->num_tc without touching either array.
netdev_txq_to_tc() walks all TC_MAX_QUEUE slots and
netdev_get_prio_tc_map() returns the entry as it stands, so a leftover
entry is handed out as a traffic class >= dev->num_tc. Taking that
class from netdev_txq_to_tc(), __netif_set_xps_queue() rejects only a
negative one and indexes an XPS map sized for dev->num_tc classes:
tci = j * num_tc + tc;
RCU_INIT_POINTER(new_dev_maps->attr_map[tci], map);
Any caller that lowers num_tc leaves such entries behind, and
mqprio_destroy() tears down with netdev_set_num_tc(dev, 0) rather than
netdev_reset_tc(). After mqprio with 8 classes then 1, tc_to_txq[1..7]
still describe txq 1..7. The splat is from an XPS write to txq 2:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __netif_set_xps_queue+0x1eb9/0x2440
Write of size 8 at addr ffff888110e978d8 by task xps_oob/573
__netif_set_xps_queue+0x1eb9/0x2440
xps_rxqs_store+0x24d/0x360
netdev_queue_attr_store+0x61/0x90
Allocated by task 573:
__kmalloc_noprof+0x246/0x6c0
__netif_set_xps_queue+0x8ca/0x2440
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
allocated 88-byte region [ffff888110e97880, ffff888110e978d8)
Reject a class the map has no room for.

v2:
- bound the class in __netif_set_xps_queue() instead of clearing
dev->tc_to_txq[]/dev->prio_tc_map[] in netdev_set_num_tc(), per the
Sashiko review of v1
- dropped the memory-ordering claim from the changelog
- retitled
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/16E3A318-5532-4B5E-8D03-86D21B463A2D@doyensec.com/
