net: mctp i2c: check length before marking flow active

2026-04-28T11:11:53+00:00

Currently, mctp_i2c_get_tx_flow_state() is called before the packet length sanity check. This function marks a new flow as active in the MCTP core. If the sanity check fails, mctp_i2c_xmit() returns early without calling mctp_i2c_lock_nest(). This results in a mismatched locking state: the flow is active, but the I2C bus lock was never acquired for it. When the flow is later released, mctp_i2c_release_flow() will see the active state and queue an unlock marker. The TX thread will then decrement midev->i2c_lock_count from 0, causing it to underflow to -1. This underflow permanently breaks the driver's locking logic, allowing future transmissions to occur without holding the I2C bus lock, leading to bus collisions and potential hardware hangs. Move the mctp_i2c_get_tx_flow_state() call to after the length sanity check to ensure we only transition the flow state if we are actually going to proceed with the transmission and locking.

net/sched: taprio: fix NULL pointer dereference in class dump

2026-04-28T01:41:36+00:00

When a TAPRIO child qdisc is deleted via RTM_DELQDISC, taprio_graft() is called with new == NULL and stores NULL into q->qdiscs[cl - 1]. Subsequent RTM_GETTCLASS dump operations walk all classes via taprio_walk() and call taprio_dump_class(), which calls taprio_leaf() returning the NULL pointer, then dereferences it to read child->handle, causing a kernel NULL pointer dereference. The bug is reachable with namespace-scoped CAP_NET_ADMIN on any kernel with CONFIG_NET_SCH_TAPRIO enabled. On systems with unprivileged user namespaces enabled, an unprivileged local user can trigger a kernel panic by creating a taprio qdisc inside a new network namespace, grafting an explicit child qdisc, deleting it, and requesting a class dump. The RTM_GETTCLASS dump itself requires no capability. Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000007: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f] RIP: 0010:taprio_dump_class (net/sched/sch_taprio.c:2478) Call Trace: tc_fill_tclass (net/sched/sch_api.c:1966) qdisc_class_dump (net/sched/sch_api.c:2326) taprio_walk (net/sched/sch_taprio.c:2514) tc_dump_tclass_qdisc (net/sched/sch_api.c:2352) tc_dump_tclass_root (net/sched/sch_api.c:2370) tc_dump_tclass (net/sched/sch_api.c:2431) rtnl_dumpit (net/core/rtnetlink.c:6864) netlink_dump (net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2325) rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:6959) netlink_rcv_skb (net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2550) Fix this by substituting &noop_qdisc when new is NULL in taprio_graft(), a common pattern used by other qdiscs (e.g., multiq_graft()) to ensure the q->qdiscs[] slots are never NULL. This makes control-plane dump paths safe without requiring individual NULL checks. Since the data-plane paths (taprio_enqueue and taprio_dequeue_from_txq) previously had explicit NULL guards that would drop/skip the packet cleanly, update those checks to test for &noop_qdisc instead. Without this, packets would reach taprio_enqueue_one() which increments the root qdisc's qlen and backlog before calling the child's enqueue; noop_qdisc drops the packet but those counters are never rolled back, permanently inflating the root qdisc's statistics. After this change *old can be a valid qdisc, NULL, or &noop_qdisc. Only call qdisc_put(*old) in the first case to avoid decreasing noop_qdisc's refcount, which was never increased.

net/sched: sch_fq_pie: annotate data-races in fq_pie_dump_stats()

2026-04-28T00:41:52+00:00

fq_codel_dump_stats() acquires the qdisc spinlock a bit too late. Move this acquisition before we fill tc_fq_pie_xstats with live data. Alternative would be to add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations, but the spinlock is needed anyway to scan q->new_flows and q->old_flows.
