[PATCH net v1 2/3] hinic3: fix use-after-free on DMA mapping failure

From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-10 09:07:21
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: huawei 3rd gen ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Fan Gong, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Xuanqiang Luo <redacted>

If hinic3_tx_map_skb() fails in hinic3_send_one_skb(), the skb is freed,
but tx_info->skb was set before the mapping attempt and is not cleared. The
SQ producer index is rolled back, so later transmissions normally overwrite
the entry.

If the interface is brought down first, hinic3_free_txqs_res() calls
free_all_tx_skbs(). It scans the entire tx_info array and finds the stale
pointer. hinic3_tx_unmap_skb() then dereferences the freed skb in
skb_shinfo(), before it is freed again.

Set tx_info->skb and its WQEBB count only after DMA mapping succeeds,
preventing the stale pointer from reaching free_all_tx_skbs().
