Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Fix DMA FIFO desync on error CQE SQ recovery In case of a TX error CQE, a recovery flow is triggered, mlx5e_reset_txqsq_cc_pc() resets dma_fifo_cc to 0 but not dma_fifo_pc, desyncing the DMA FIFO producer and consumer. After recovery, the producer pushes new DMA entries at the old dma_fifo_pc, while the consumer reads from position 0. This causes us to unmap stale DMA addresses from before the recovery. The DMA FIFO is a purely software construct with no HW counterpart. At the point of reset, all WQEs have been flushed so dma_fifo_cc is already equal to dma_fifo_pc. There is no need to reset either counter, similar to how skb_fifo pc/cc are untouched. Remove the 'dma_fifo_cc = 0' reset. This fixes the following WARNING: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c:1240 iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90 Modules linked in: mlx5_vdpa vringh vdpa bonding mlx5_ib mlx5_vfio_pci ipip mlx5_fwctl tunnel4 mlx5_core ib_ipoib geneve ip6_gre ip_gre gre nf_tables ip6_tunnel rdma_ucm ib_uverbs ib_umad vfio_pci vfio_pci_core act_mirred act_skbedit act_vlan vhost_net vhost tap ip6table_mangle ip6table_nat ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_mangle cls_matchall nfnetlink_cttimeout act_gact cls_flower sch_ingress vhost_iotlb iptable_raw tunnel6 vfio_iommu_type1 vfio openvswitch nsh rpcsec_gss_krb5 auth_rpcgss oid_registry xt_conntrack xt_MASQUERADE nf_conntrack_netlink nfnetlink iptable_nat nf_nat xt_addrtype br_netfilter overlay zram zsmalloc rpcrdma ib_iser libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi rdma_cm iw_cm ib_cm ib_core fuse [last unloaded: nf_tables] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.13.0-rc5_for_upstream_min_debug_2024_12_30_21_33 #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90 Code: 2b 4d 3b 21 72 26 4d 3b 61 08 73 20 49 89 d8 44 89 f9 5b 4c 89 f2 4c 89 e6 48 89 ef 5d 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f e9 c7 ae 9e ff <0f> 0b 5b 5d 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 Call Trace: <IRQ> ? __warn+0x7d/0x110 ? iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90 ? report_bug+0x16d/0x180 ? handle_bug+0x4f/0x90 ? exc_invalid_op+0x14/0x70 ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x16/0x20 ? iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90 ? iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x2e/0x90 dma_unmap_page_attrs+0x10d/0x1b0 mlx5e_tx_wi_dma_unmap+0xbe/0x120 [mlx5_core] mlx5e_poll_tx_cq+0x16d/0x690 [mlx5_core] mlx5e_napi_poll+0x8b/0xac0 [mlx5_core] __napi_poll+0x24/0x190 net_rx_action+0x32a/0x3b0 ? mlx5_eq_comp_int+0x7e/0x270 [mlx5_core] ? notifier_call_chain+0x35/0xa0 handle_softirqs+0xc9/0x270 irq_exit_rcu+0x71/0xd0 common_interrupt+0x7f/0xa0 </IRQ> <TASK> asm_common_interrupt+0x22/0x40

There is no need to reset either counter,\nsimilar to how skb_fifo pc/cc are untouched.\n\nRemove the \u0027dma_fifo_cc = 0\u0027 reset.\n\nThis fixes the following WARNING:\n    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c:1240 iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90\n    Modules linked in: mlx5_vdpa vringh vdpa bonding mlx5_ib mlx5_vfio_pci ipip mlx5_fwctl tunnel4 mlx5_core ib_ipoib geneve ip6_gre ip_gre gre nf_tables ip6_tunnel rdma_ucm ib_uverbs ib_umad vfio_pci vfio_pci_core act_mirred act_skbedit act_vlan vhost_net vhost tap ip6table_mangle ip6table_nat ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_mangle cls_matchall nfnetlink_cttimeout act_gact cls_flower sch_ingress vhost_iotlb iptable_raw tunnel6 vfio_iommu_type1 vfio openvswitch nsh rpcsec_gss_krb5 auth_rpcgss oid_registry xt_conntrack xt_MASQUERADE nf_conntrack_netlink nfnetlink iptable_nat nf_nat xt_addrtype br_netfilter overlay zram zsmalloc rpcrdma ib_iser libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi rdma_cm iw_cm ib_cm ib_core fuse [last unloaded: nf_tables]\n    CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.13.0-rc5_for_upstream_min_debug_2024_12_30_21_33 #1\n    Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\n    RIP: 0010:iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90\n    Code: 2b 4d 3b 21 72 26 4d 3b 61 08 73 20 49 89 d8 44 89 f9 5b 4c 89 f2 4c 89 e6 48 89 ef 5d 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f e9 c7 ae 9e ff \u003c0f\u003e 0b 5b 5d 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00\n    Call Trace:\n     \u003cIRQ\u003e\n     ? __warn+0x7d/0x110\n     ? iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90\n     ? report_bug+0x16d/0x180\n     ? handle_bug+0x4f/0x90\n     ? exc_invalid_op+0x14/0x70\n     ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x16/0x20\n     ? iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x79/0x90\n     ? iommu_dma_unmap_page+0x2e/0x90\n     dma_unmap_page_attrs+0x10d/0x1b0\n     mlx5e_tx_wi_dma_unmap+0xbe/0x120 [mlx5_core]\n     mlx5e_poll_tx_cq+0x16d/0x690 [mlx5_core]\n     mlx5e_napi_poll+0x8b/0xac0 [mlx5_core]\n     __napi_poll+0x24/0x190\n     net_rx_action+0x32a/0x3b0\n     ? mlx5_eq_comp_int+0x7e/0x270 [mlx5_core]\n     ? notifier_call_chain+0x35/0xa0\n     handle_softirqs+0xc9/0x270\n     irq_exit_rcu+0x71/0xd0\n     common_interrupt+0x7f/0xa0\n     \u003c/IRQ\u003e\n     \u003cTASK\u003e\n     asm_common_interrupt+0x22/0x40"

There is no attacker-uncontrolled race in the vulnerable logic, so the higher-severity low complexity value is appropriate.\nPR:N - The reachable data path has no credential or capability check, and a remote peer can make the host transmit packets through exposed services or forwarding workloads. The recovery is automatic through the devlink health reporter rather than gated by an admin action.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required after the affected mlx5e interface is active; packet transmission, CQ polling, and recovery occur asynchronously in kernel/NAPI/workqueue context.\nS:U - The bug affects the host kernel driver\u0027s own DMA bookkeeping and availability within the same security authority. It does not create a demonstrated VM escape or IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass that would justify changed scope.\nC:N - The investigated failure is stale DMA unmapping, not an out-of-bounds read or CPU memory disclosure primitive. I found no evidence that it exposes kernel memory contents to the attacker.\nI:L - Stale DMA unmaps can release or disturb the wrong DMA/IOMMU mappings and corrupt device I/O state for packets, but the code path does not provide an arbitrary write or control-flow primitive. Choosing low integrity impact reflects the higher-severity side of the plausible non-arbitrary data corruption assessment.\nA:H - The observed failure is a WARN in `iommu_dma_unmap_page` from IRQ/NAPI context, and systems with `panic_on_warn` or repeated DMA/IOMMU faults can suffer a kernel panic or persistent network outage. This is a high availability impact."
