Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix use after free on Rx queue start
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2023 19:58:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231109175820.3182924-1-dsosnowski@nvidia.com> (raw)

If RX queue is not started yet, then a mlx5_rxq_obj struct used for
storing HW queue objects will be allocated and added to the list held
in port's private data structure.
After that allocation, Rx queue HW object configuration is done.
If that configuration failed, then mlx5_rxq_obj struct is freed, but
not removed from the list. This causes an use after free bug, during
error handling in mlx5_rxq_start(), where this deallocated struct
was accessed during list cleanup.

This patch fixes that by inserting mlx5_rxq_obj struct to the list only
after HW queue object configuration succeeded.

Fixes: 09c2555303be ("net/mlx5: support shared Rx queue")
