Subject: [PATCH net v3] ibmvnic: fix ibmvnic_set_mac
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 17:04:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201027220456.71450-1-ljp@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Jakub Kicinski brought up a concern in ibmvnic_set_mac().
ibmvnic_set_mac() does this:

	ether_addr_copy(adapter->mac_addr, addr->sa_data);
	if (adapter->state != VNIC_PROBED)
		rc = __ibmvnic_set_mac(netdev, addr->sa_data);

So if state == VNIC_PROBED, the user can assign an invalid address to
adapter->mac_addr, and ibmvnic_set_mac() will still return 0.

The fix is to validate ethernet address at the beginning of
ibmvnic_set_mac(), and move the ether_addr_copy to
the case of "adapter->state != VNIC_PROBED".

Fixes: 62740e97881c ("net/ibmvnic: Update MAC address settings after adapter reset")

v2: change the subject from v1's 
    "ibmvnic: no need to update adapter->mac_addr before it completes"
    handle adapter->state==VNIC_PROBED case in else statement.
v3: take Maciej Fijalkowski's advice.
