[PATCH 06/14] common/cnxk: fix null deref and irq ack in CPT CQ handler

From: Rahul Bhansali <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-17 07:14:37
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Aarnav JP <redacted>

The CPT CQ interrupt handler (nix_inl_cpt_cq_cb) unconditionally
dereferences lf->dev->roc_nix to obtain roc_nix, nix, and port_id.
For inbound, the CPT LF belongs to the inline device which is not
an ethdev, so roc_nix is NULL and the dereference crashes.

Additionally, error paths returned without writing CPT_LF_DONE_ACK,
leaving CQ entries unacknowledged causing the completion queue to
fill up.

Fix by deferring roc_nix/nix/port_id derivation into the outbound
branch where roc_nix is valid, setting port_id to UINT32_MAX for
inbound, and routing all error paths through a common cq_ack label
that drains entries and writes CPT_LF_DONE_ACK.

Fixes: 3fdf3e53f3c4 ("common/cnxk: enable CPT CQ for inline IPsec inbound")
