Subject: [PATCH net v3 3/5] gve: Block invalid ring sizes when device options are 0
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 02:38:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013093836.1269134-4-treapking@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013093836.1269134-1-treapking@google.com>

On older device versions, minimum ring sizes in the device option are
reported as 0. The driver imports these 0 values, allowing userspace
(`ethtool -G`) to request invalidly small ring sizes.

This issue was discovered and actually triggered by the
drivers/net/ring_reconfig.py selftest (ringparam test case). Halving the
ring size down to 1 triggered a kernel NULL pointer dereference in
gve_tx_alloc_rings_dqo():

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000002
  RIP: 0010:gve_tx_alloc_rings_dqo+0x1c4/0x510 [gve]
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   gve_queues_mem_alloc+0x29/0xa0 [gve]
   gve_adjust_config+0x1b/0x140 [gve]
   gve_set_ringparam+0x1f4/0x250 [gve]
   ethnl_set_rings+0x260/0x440
   ...

Fix this by falling back to the driver's default minimum ring sizes
(GVE_DEFAULT_MIN_RX_RING_SIZE and GVE_DEFAULT_MIN_TX_RING_SIZE) whenever
the device option reports minimum ring sizes as 0.

This change was tested using the DQO RDA queue format.
