[PATCH net v2] veth: manage XDP program pointers during channel resize

COOLING12d

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-09-21 23:18:59
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

veth_set_channels() tears down XDP resources for removed RX queues
without clearing rq->xdp_prog.  If the program is then detached or
replaced, those queues keep the old pointer after bpf_prog_put().
A later channel increase can re-enable NAPI and run the freed program.

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90000256048
