Summary
i40e: fix race condition by adding filter's intermediate sync state
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i40e: fix race condition by adding filter's intermediate sync state

Fix a race condition in the i40e driver that leads to MAC/VLAN filters becoming corrupted and leaking. Address the issue that occurs under heavy load when multiple threads are concurrently modifying MAC/VLAN filters by setting mac and port VLAN.

  1. Thread T0 allocates a filter in i40eaddfilter() within i40endosetvfport_vlan().
  2. Thread T1 concurrently frees the filter in __i40edelfilter() within i40endosetvfmac().
  3. Subsequently, i40eservicetask() calls i40esyncvsi_filters(), which refers to the already freed filter memory, causing corruption.

Reproduction steps: 1. Spawn multiple VFs. 2. Apply a concurrent heavy load by running parallel operations to change MAC addresses on the VFs and change port VLANs on the host. 3. Observe errors in dmesg: "Error I40EAQRC_ENOSPC adding RX filters on VF XX, please set promiscuous on manually for VF XX".

Exact code for stable reproduction Intel can't open-source now.

The fix involves implementing a new intermediate filter state, I40EFILTERNEWSYNC, for the time when a filter is on a tmpadd_list. These filters cannot be deleted from the hash list directly but must be removed using the full process.
