Hello all, This series fixes race conditions in the xps code, where out of bound accesses can occur when dev->num_tc is updated, triggering oops. The root cause is linked to locking issues. An explanation is given in each of the commit logs.
We had a discussion on the v1 of this series about using the xps_map mutex instead of the rtnl lock. While that seemed a better compromise, v2 showed the added complexity wasn't best for fixes. So we decided to go back to v1 and use the rtnl lock. Because of this, the only differences between v1 and v3 are improvements in the commit messages. Thanks! Antoine Antoine Tenart (4): net-sysfs: take the rtnl lock when storing xps_cpus net-sysfs: take the rtnl lock when accessing xps_cpus_map and num_tc net-sysfs: take the rtnl lock when storing xps_rxqs net-sysfs: take the rtnl lock when accessing xps_rxqs_map and num_tc net/core/net-sysfs.c | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 53 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- 2.29.2
