[PATCH 5.9 142/255] net/mlx5e: Fix incorrect access of RCU-protected xdp_prog

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Nov 17 2020 - 08:49:37 EST


From: Maxim Mikityanskiy <maximmi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1a50cf9a67ff2241c2949d30bc11c8dd4280eef8 ]

rq->xdp_prog is RCU-protected and should be accessed only with
rcu_access_pointer for the NULL check in mlx5e_poll_rx_cq.

rq->xdp_prog may change on the fly only from one non-NULL value to
another non-NULL value, so the checks in mlx5e_xdp_handle and
mlx5e_poll_rx_cq will have the same result during one NAPI cycle,
meaning that no additional synchronization is needed.

Fixes: fe45386a2082 ("net/mlx5e: Use RCU to protect rq->xdp_prog")
