vmxnet3: update MTU after device quiesce

2025-09-09T16:45:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 43f0999af011fba646e015f0bb08b6c3002a0170 ] Currently, when device mtu is updated, vmxnet3 updates netdev mtu, quiesces the device and then reactivates it for the ESXi to know about the new mtu. So, technically the OS stack can start using the new mtu before ESXi knows about the new mtu. This can lead to issues for TSO packets which use mss as per the new mtu configured. This patch fixes this issue by moving the mtu write after device quiesce.

vmxnet3: correctly report gso type for UDP tunnels

2025-06-27T10:04:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit 982d30c30eaa2ec723df42e3bf526c014c1dbb88 ] Commit 3d010c8031e3 ("udp: do not accept non-tunnel GSO skbs landing in a tunnel") added checks in linux stack to not accept non-tunnel GRO packets landing in a tunnel. This exposed an issue in vmxnet3 which was not correctly reporting GRO packets for tunnel packets. This patch fixes this issue by setting correct GSO type for the tunnel packets. Currently, vmxnet3 does not support reporting inner fields for LRO tunnel packets. The issue is not seen for egress drivers that do not use skb inner fields. The workaround is to enable tnl-segmentation offload on the egress interfaces if the driver supports it. This problem pre-exists this patch fix and can be addressed as a separate future patch.

net: vmxnet3: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup()

2022-05-25T07:17:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit edf410cb74dc612fd47ef5be319c5a0bcd6e6ccd ] In vmxnet3_rq_create(), when dma_alloc_coherent() fails, vmxnet3_rq_destroy() is called. It sets rq->rx_ring[i].base to NULL. Then vmxnet3_rq_create() returns an error to its callers mxnet3_rq_create_all() -> vmxnet3_change_mtu(). Then vmxnet3_change_mtu() calls vmxnet3_force_close() -> dev_close() in error handling code. And the driver calls vmxnet3_close() -> vmxnet3_quiesce_dev() -> vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all() -> vmxnet3_rq_cleanup(). In vmxnet3_rq_cleanup(), rq->rx_ring[ring_idx].base is accessed, but this variable is NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference. To fix this possible bug, an if statement is added to check whether rq->rx_ring[0].base is NULL in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup() and exit early if so. The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows: [ 65.220135] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008 ...

net: vmxnet3: fix possible use-after-free bugs in vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf()

2022-05-25T07:17:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9e7fef9521e73ca8afd7da9e58c14654b02dfad8 ] In vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf(), when dma_map_single() fails, rbi->skb is freed immediately. Similarly, in another branch, when dma_map_page() fails, rbi->page is also freed. In the two cases, vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf() returns an error to its callers vmxnet3_rq_init() -> vmxnet3_rq_init_all() -> vmxnet3_activate_dev(). Then vmxnet3_activate_dev() calls vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all() in error handling code, and rbi->skb or rbi->page are freed again in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all(), causing use-after-free bugs. To fix these possible bugs, rbi->skb and rbi->page should be cleared after they are freed. The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows: [ 14.319016] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in consume_skb+0x2f/0x150 ... [ 14.321586] Call Trace: ...

vmxnet3: fix cksum offload issues for tunnels with non-default udp ports

However, the inner offload capability is to be restricted to UDP tunnels with default Vxlan and Geneve ports.
