[PATCH net-next v3] net/ionic: avoid OOB TX partner lookup for hwstamp RXQ
From: Anand Khoje
Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 04:51:15 EST
The dedicated hardware timestamp RX queue is allocated with q->index
equal to lif->ionic->nrxqs_per_lif. The normal txqcqs array only
contains the regular queue pairs, so using that index to set rxq->partner
can read one entry past txqcqs[] and then write through the derived
pointer.
Only link RX/TX partners for normal queue-pair indexes. Leave the hwstamp
RX queue unpaired, and make the XDP_TX path abort cleanly if an RX queue
has no TX partner.

v3:
Use dev_err() and return -ENXIO for a missing normal TX partner.
v2:
Correct the Fixes tag.
