ice: fix race condition in TX timestamp ring cleanup
Fix a race condition between ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() and ice_tx_map()
that can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring currently clears the ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME flag
after NULLing the tstamp_ring. This could allow a concurrent ice_tx_map
call on another CPU to dereference the tstamp_ring, which could lead to
a NULL pointer dereference.
CPU A:ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() | CPU B:ice_tx_map()
--------------------------------|---------------------------------
tx_ring->tstamp_ring = NULL |
| ice_is_txtime_cfg() -> true
| tstamp_ring = tx_ring->tstamp_ring
| tstamp_ring->count // NULL deref!
flags &= ~ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME |
Fix by:
1. Reordering ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() to clear the flag before
NULLing the pointer, with smp_wmb() to ensure proper ordering.
2. Adding smp_rmb() in ice_tx_map() after the flag check to order the
flag read before the pointer read, using READ_ONCE() for the
pointer, and adding a NULL check as a safety net.
3. Converting tx_ring->flags from u8 to DECLARE_BITMAP() and using
atomic bitops (set_bit(), clear_bit(), test_bit()) for all flag
operations throughout the driver:
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_XDP
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_VLAN_L2TAG1
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_VLAN_L2TAG2
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME
