5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Przemek Kitszel <przemyslaw.kitszel@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit aec806fb4afba5fe80b09e29351379a4292baa43 ] Change kzalloc() flags used in ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa() to GFP_ATOMIC, to avoid sleeping in IRQ context. Dan Carpenter, with the help of Smatch, has found following issue: The patch eda0333ac293: "ixgbe: add VF IPsec management" from Aug 13, 2018 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c:917 ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa() warn: sleeping in IRQ context The call tree that Smatch is worried about is: ixgbe_msix_other() <- IRQ handler -> ixgbe_msg_task() -> ixgbe_rcv_msg_from_vf() -> ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa() Fixes: eda0333ac293 ("ixgbe: add VF IPsec management") Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/intel-wired-lan/db31a0b0-4d9f-4e6b-aed8-88266eb5665c@moroto.mountain Reviewed-by: Michal Kubiak <michal.kubiak@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Przemek Kitszel <przemyslaw.kitszel@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@xxxxxxx> Tested-by: Pucha Himasekhar Reddy <himasekharx.reddy.pucha@xxxxxxxxx> (A Contingent worker at Intel) Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c index 5799b434165e0..bd2b0f4466c64 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c @@ -909,7 +909,13 @@ int ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa(struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter, u32 *msgbuf, u32 vf) goto err_out; } - xs = kzalloc(sizeof(*xs), GFP_KERNEL); + algo = xfrm_aead_get_byname(aes_gcm_name, IXGBE_IPSEC_AUTH_BITS, 1); + if (unlikely(!algo)) { + err = -ENOENT; + goto err_out; + } + + xs = kzalloc(sizeof(*xs), GFP_ATOMIC); if (unlikely(!xs)) { err = -ENOMEM; goto err_out; @@ -925,14 +931,8 @@ int ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa(struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter, u32 *msgbuf, u32 vf) memcpy(&xs->id.daddr.a4, sam->addr, sizeof(xs->id.daddr.a4)); xs->xso.dev = adapter->netdev; - algo = xfrm_aead_get_byname(aes_gcm_name, IXGBE_IPSEC_AUTH_BITS, 1); - if (unlikely(!algo)) { - err = -ENOENT; - goto err_xs; - } - aead_len = sizeof(*xs->aead) + IXGBE_IPSEC_KEY_BITS / 8; - xs->aead = kzalloc(aead_len, GFP_KERNEL); + xs->aead = kzalloc(aead_len, GFP_ATOMIC); if (unlikely(!xs->aead)) { err = -ENOMEM; goto err_xs; -- 2.43.0
