Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] bnxt_en: don't leave an XDP program installed when the open fails
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 18:02:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110230151.15382-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107053637-failed-6.6-78731b46967e@kernel.org>

From: Vaibhav Nagare <vnagare@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 78731b46967e3e7102b5cd5062bef185f3404b5c ]

bnxt_xdp_set() stores the new program and drops the reference on the old
one before reopening the NIC.  If bnxt_open_nic() then fails, ndo_bpf()
returns an error with the new program still in bp->xdp_prog.  The caller
treats the error as "nothing was installed" and drops its own reference,
so bp->xdp_prog is left pointing at a freed program and the next XDP
update dereferences it:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff78ecc80ddd1038
  RIP: 0010:__bpf_prog_put+0x5/0x80
  Call Trace:
   bnxt_xdp_set+0xad/0x1b0 [bnxt_en]
   dev_xdp_propagate+0x36/0xa0
   bond_xdp_set+0xeb/0x2d0 [bonding]
   dev_xdp_install+0x1b1/0x350
   bpf_xdp_link_update+0xc5/0x1b0
   link_update+0x104/0x1e0
   __sys_bpf+0x662/0xcf0

Seen on a 6.12 based kernel after bnxt_alloc_mem() failed an order-4
allocation on a fragmented host:

  bnxt_en 0000:a0:00.1 ens4f1np1: nic open fail (rc: fffffff4)
  bond1: (slave ens4f1np1): Error -12 calling ndo_bpf

Bonding is not required to hit this; a plain XDP attach on a bnxt
interface takes the same path.

Restore the previous program when an attach or a replace fails, and
recompute the page-mode and XDP TX ring configuration from it.  The
configuration matters because bnxt_init_one_rx_ring() only assigns
rxr->xdp_prog in page mode, and __bnxt_set_rx_skb_mode() derives
dev->max_mtu from the installed program.  Release the old program only
once the change has been committed.

A detach is not undone.  dev_xdp_detach_link() clears the core's record
of the program even when the driver returns an error, so putting the
program back would leave the driver running a program the core has
already dropped.  If the reopen fails during a detach, bnxt_xdp_set()
therefore returns 0 with the device closed; bnxt_open_nic() has already
logged the failure.

Found in a crash dump; the change was not tested on hardware.

Fixes: c6d30e8391b8 ("bnxt_en: Add basic XDP support.")
