[PATCH 5.10 002/167] igb: Fix use-after-free error during reset

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-07-26 16:15:36
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Vinicius Costa Gomes <vinicius.gomes@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 7b292608db23ccbbfbfa50cdb155d01725d7a52e ]

Cleans the next descriptor to watch (next_to_watch) when cleaning the
TX ring.

Failure to do so can cause invalid memory accesses. If igb_poll() runs
while the controller is reset this can lead to the driver try to free
a skb that was already freed.

(The crash is harder to reproduce with the igb driver, but the same
potential problem exists as the code is identical to igc)

Fixes: 7cc6fd4c60f2 ("igb: Don't bother clearing Tx buffer_info in igb_clean_tx_ring")
