Re: [External] Re: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v2] ixgbe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe_xdp_setup

Hi Feng and Jason,

Please notice that you are both developing patches that change the ixgbe driver in related areas.

Jason's patch:
Subject: [PATCH v7] ixgbe: let the xdpdrv work with more than 64 cpus

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210901101206.50274-1-kerneljasonxing@xxxxxxxxx/

We might need both as this patch looks like a fix to a panic, and Jason's patch allows XDP on ixgbe to work on machines with more than 64 CPUs.

The ixgbe driver currently generates a NULL pointer dereference with
some machine (online cpus < 63). This is due to the fact that the
maximum value of num_xdp_queues is nr_cpu_ids. Code is in
"ixgbe_set_rss_queues"".

Here's how the problem repeats itself:
Some machine (online cpus < 63), And user set num_queues to 63 through
ethtool. Code is in the "ixgbe_set_channels",
adapter->ring_feature[RING_F_FDIR].limit = count;

For better legibility, you might want to indent code (blocks) by four spaces and add blank lines around it (also below).

It becames 63.

becomes

When user use xdp, "ixgbe_set_rss_queues" will set queues num.
adapter->num_rx_queues = rss_i;
adapter->num_tx_queues = rss_i;
adapter->num_xdp_queues = ixgbe_xdp_queues(adapter);
And rss_i's value is from
f = &adapter->ring_feature[RING_F_FDIR];
rss_i = f->indices = f->limit;
So "num_rx_queues" > "num_xdp_queues", when run to "ixgbe_xdp_setup",
for (i = 0; i < adapter->num_rx_queues; i++)
    if (adapter->xdp_ring[i]->xsk_umem)
lead to panic.

lead*s*?

Updates since v1:
- Fix "ixgbe_max_channels" callback so that it will not allow a setting of
queues to be higher than the num_online_cpus().
