net/bnx2x: Prevent access to a freed page in page_pool
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix race condition leading to system crash during EEH error handling

During EEH error recovery, the bnx2x driver's transmit timeout logic
could cause a race condition when handling reset tasks. The
bnx2x_tx_timeout() schedules reset tasks via bnx2x_sp_rtnl_task(),
which ultimately leads to bnx2x_nic_unload(). In bnx2x_nic_unload()
SGEs are freed using bnx2x_free_rx_sge_range(). However, this could
overlap with the EEH driver's attempt to reset the device using
bnx2x_io_slot_reset(), which also tries to free SGEs. This race
condition can result in system crashes due to accessing freed memory
locations in bnx2x_free_rx_sge()

799  static inline void bnx2x_free_rx_sge(struct bnx2x *bp,
800				struct bnx2x_fastpath *fp, u16 index)
801  {
802	struct sw_rx_page *sw_buf = &fp->rx_page_ring[index];
803     struct page *page = sw_buf->page;
....
where sw_buf was set to NULL after the call to dma_unmap_page()
by the preceding thread.

To solve this issue, we need to verify page pool allocations before
freeing.
