From: Íñigo Huguet <ihuguet@redhat.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.146 commit b3b41d4d95d3822b2e459ecbc80d030ea6aec5e7 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6D0VX Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 0a242eb2913a4aa3d6fbdb86559f27628e9466f3 ] Trying to get the channel from the tx_queue variable here is wrong because we can only be here if tx_queue is NULL, so we shouldn't dereference it. As the above comment in the code says, this is very unlikely to happen, but it's wrong anyway so let's fix it. I hit this issue because of a different bug that caused tx_queue to be NULL. If that happens, this is the error message that we get here: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020 [...] RIP: 0010:efx_hard_start_xmit+0x153/0x170 [sfc] Fixes: 12804793b17c ("sfc: decouple TXQ type from label") Reported-by: Tianhao Zhao <tizhao@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Íñigo Huguet <ihuguet@redhat.com> Acked-by: Edward Cree <ecree.xilinx@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220914111135.21038-1-ihuguet@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jialin Zhang <zhangjialin11@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Zheng Zengkai <zhengzengkai@huawei.com> --- drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tx.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tx.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tx.c index 1665529a7271..fcc7de8ae2bf 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tx.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tx.c @@ -545,7 +545,7 @@ netdev_tx_t efx_hard_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, * previous packets out. */ if (!netdev_xmit_more()) - efx_tx_send_pending(tx_queue->channel); + efx_tx_send_pending(efx_get_tx_channel(efx, index)); return NETDEV_TX_OK; } -- 2.25.1
