The flexible structure (a structure that contains a flexible-array member
at the end) `qed_ll2_tx_packet` is nested within the second layer of
`struct qed_ll2_info`:
struct qed_ll2_tx_packet {
...
/* Flexible Array of bds_set determined by max_bds_per_packet */
struct {
struct core_tx_bd *txq_bd;
dma_addr_t tx_frag;
u16 frag_len;
} bds_set[];
};
struct qed_ll2_tx_queue {
...
struct qed_ll2_tx_packet cur_completing_packet;
};
struct qed_ll2_info {
...
struct qed_ll2_tx_queue tx_queue;
struct qed_ll2_cbs cbs;
};
The problem is that member `cbs` in `struct qed_ll2_info` is placed just
after an object of type `struct qed_ll2_tx_queue`, which is in itself
an implicit flexible structure, which by definition ends in a flexible
array member, in this case `bds_set`. This causes an undefined behavior
bug at run-time when dynamic memory is allocated for `bds_set`, which
could lead to a serious issue if `cbs` in `struct qed_ll2_info` is
overwritten by the contents of `bds_set`. Notice that the type of `cbs`
is a structure full of function pointers (and a cookie :) ):
include/linux/qed/qed_ll2_if.h:
107 typedef
108 void (*qed_ll2_complete_rx_packet_cb)(void *cxt,
109 struct qed_ll2_comp_rx_data *data);
110
111 typedef
112 void (*qed_ll2_release_rx_packet_cb)(void *cxt,
113 u8 connection_handle,
114 void *cookie,
115 dma_addr_t rx_buf_addr,
116 bool b_last_packet);
117
118 typedef
119 void (*qed_ll2_complete_tx_packet_cb)(void *cxt,
120 u8 connection_handle,
121 void *cookie,
122 dma_addr_t first_frag_addr,
123 bool b_last_fragment,
124 bool b_last_packet);
125
126 typedef
127 void (*qed_ll2_release_tx_packet_cb)(void *cxt,
128 u8 connection_handle,
129 void *cookie,
130 dma_addr_t first_frag_addr,
131 bool b_last_fragment, bool b_last_packet);
132
133 typedef
134 void (*qed_ll2_slowpath_cb)(void *cxt, u8 connection_handle,
135 u32 opaque_data_0, u32 opaque_data_1);
136
137 struct qed_ll2_cbs {
138 qed_ll2_complete_rx_packet_cb rx_comp_cb;
139 qed_ll2_release_rx_packet_cb rx_release_cb;
140 qed_ll2_complete_tx_packet_cb tx_comp_cb;
141 qed_ll2_release_tx_packet_cb tx_release_cb;
142 qed_ll2_slowpath_cb slowpath_cb;
143 void *cookie;
144 };
Fix this by moving the declaration of `cbs` to the middle of its
containing structure `qed_ll2_info`, preventing it from being
overwritten by the contents of `bds_set` at run-time.
This bug was introduced in 2017, when `bds_set` was converted to a
one-element array, and started to be used as a Variable Length Object
(VLO) at run-time.
