Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net-queue v1 2/2] igb: Fix user-after-free error during reset
Date: Thu, 13 May 2021 17:31:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210514003104.1360697-2-vinicius.gomes@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210514003104.1360697-1-vinicius.gomes@intel.com>

Cleans the next descriptor to watch (next_to_watch) when cleaning the
TX ring.

Failure to do so can cause invalid memory accesses. If igc_poll() runs
while the controller is reset this can lead to the driver try to free
a skb that was already freed.

(The crash is harder to reproduce with the igb driver, but the same
potential problem exists as the code is identical to igc)

Fixes: 7cc6fd4c60f2 ("igb: Don't bother clearing Tx buffer_info in igb_clean_tx_ring")
