- Summary
- net: enetc: Do not configure preemptible TCs if SIs do not support
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: enetc: Do not configure preemptible TCs if SIs do not support
Both ENETC PF and VF drivers share enetcsetuptcmqprio() to configure MQPRIO. And enetcsetuptcmqprio() calls enetcchangepreemptible_tcs() to configure preemptible TCs. However, only PF is able to configure preemptible TCs. Because only PF has related registers, while VF does not have these registers. So for VF, its hw->port pointer is NULL. Therefore, VF will access an invalid pointer when accessing a non-existent register, which will cause a crash issue. The simplified log is as follows.

In addition, some PFs also do not support configuring preemptible TCs, such as eno1 and eno3 on LS1028A. It won't crash like it does for VFs, but we should prevent these PFs from accessing these unimplemented registers.
