[PATCH net] net: dsa: bcm_sf2_cfp: fix NULL deref when port_num is out of bounds

From: Danesh Petigara <hidden>

Subsystem: broadcom b53/sf2 ethernet switch driver, networking drivers, networking [dsa], the rest · Maintainers: Florian Fainelli, Jonas Gorski, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Andrew Lunn, Vladimir Oltean, Linus Torvalds

From: Justin Chen <justin.chen@broadcom.com>

bcm_sf2_cfp_rule_insert() validates port_num against
priv->hw_params.num_ports, but the bounds check was placed after the
calls to dsa_is_user_port() and dsa_is_cpu_port():

    if (ring_cookie == RX_CLS_FLOW_DISC ||
        !(dsa_is_user_port(ds, port_num) ||
          dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port_num)) ||
        port_num >= priv->hw_params.num_ports)

Both helpers call dsa_to_port(), which iterates the port list and
returns NULL if no entry matches.  With a user-supplied ring_cookie
large enough to produce an out-of-bounds port_num, dsa_to_port()
returns NULL and the immediate ->type dereference faults.

Move the bounds check first so dsa_is_user_port()/dsa_is_cpu_port()
are never reached with an invalid port_num.
