net/bnx2x: Prevent access to a freed page in page_pool
[ Upstream commit d27e2da94a42655861ca4baea30c8cd65546f25d ]
Fix race condition leading to system crash during EEH error handling
During EEH error recovery, the bnx2x driver's transmit timeout logic
could cause a race condition when handling reset tasks. The
bnx2x_tx_timeout() schedules reset tasks via bnx2x_sp_rtnl_task(),
which ultimately leads to bnx2x_nic_unload(). In bnx2x_nic_unload()
SGEs are freed using bnx2x_free_rx_sge_range(). However, this could
overlap with the EEH driver's attempt to reset the device using
bnx2x_io_slot_reset(), which also tries to free SGEs. This race
condition can result in system crashes due to accessing freed memory
locations in bnx2x_free_rx_sge()
799 static inline void bnx2x_free_rx_sge(struct bnx2x *bp,
800 struct bnx2x_fastpath *fp, u16 index)
801 {
802 struct sw_rx_page *sw_buf = &fp->rx_page_ring[index];
803 struct page *page = sw_buf->page;
....
where sw_buf was set to NULL after the call to dma_unmap_page()
by the preceding thread.

To solve this issue, we need to verify page pool allocations before
freeing.
