Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ntb_netdev: Move ntb_netdev_rx_handler() to call netif_rx() from __netif_rx()
The following is emitted when using idxd (DSA) dmanegine as the data mover for ntb_transport that ntb_netdev uses.
[74412.546922] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: irq/52-idxd-por/14526
[74412.556784] caller is netif_rx_internal+0x42/0x130
[74412.562282] CPU: 6 PID: 14526 Comm: irq/52-idxd-por Not tainted 6.9.5 #5
[74412.569870] Hardware name: Intel Corporation ArcherCity/ArcherCity, BIOS EGSDCRB1.E9I.1752.P05.2402080856 02/08/2024
[74412.581699] Call Trace:
[74412.584514]
The cause is due to the idxd driver interrupt completion handler uses threaded interrupt and the threaded handler is not hard or soft interrupt context. However __netif_rx() can only be called from interrupt context. Change the call to netif_rx() in order to allow completion via normal context for dmaengine drivers that utilize threaded irq handling.
While the following commit changed from netif_rx() to __netif_rx(), baebdf48c360 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context."), the change should've been a noop instead. However, the code precedes this fix should've been using netif_rx_ni() or netif_rx_any_context().
