bnxt: fix head underflow on XDP head-grow

The xdp.py test test_xdp_native_adjst_head_grow_data crashes when run on a bnxt machine (and also crashes in NIPA).

It seems that the bug is an underflow in bnxt_rx_multi_page_skb, which builds the skb head:

napi_build_skb(data_ptr - bp->rx_offset, rxr->rx_page_size);

The problem with this expression is that in page mode, rx_offset is:

bp->rx_offset = NET_IP_ALIGN + XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM;

Which evaluates (at least on x86_64) to 258.

The test test_xdp_native_adjst_head_grow_data tests a case where the head is adjusted by -256.

When this test runs, data_ptr is shifted to frag_start + 2 (where frag_start = page_address(page) + offset).

Then, bnxt_rx_multi_page_skb is invoked and the napi_build_skb expression subtracts 258, landing at an address before frag_start. This could be either the previous fragment or the previous physical page when the offset is < 256 (e.g. if the fragment started at offset 0).

When the skb is freed, the page pool fragment reference is dropped on either the wrong page or the wrong frag of the right page. In either case, the corrupted reference count can lead to the page being prematurely recycled while still in use. Once (incorrectly) recycled, it can be handed out again and on driver teardown this would result in a double free.

The commit under fixes updated this code to handle the case where the native page size is >= 64k, but it…

It was discovered that some Arm processors could complete a broadcast translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation before memory writes made through the invalidated translation were globally observed. A local attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do so had been revoked, bypassing memory protections or escalating privileges. (CVE-2025-10263)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - User-space API (UAPI); - Kernel build system; - ARM32 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - Intel NPU Driver; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ACPI drivers; - Drivers core; - DRBD Distributed Replicated Block Device drivers; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - CXL (Compute Express Link) drivers; - Arm Firmware Framework for ARMv8-A(FFA); - EFI core; - FPGA Framework; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - I3C subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Mouse) drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media…
