forcedeth: stop the tx_timeout register dump past the requested window

2026-08-20T19:24:44+00:00

nv_tx_timeout() dumps the register window in rows of eight dwords: for (i = 0; i <= np->register_size; i += 32) { netdev_info(dev, "%3x: %08x ... %08x\n", i, readl(base + i + 0), ..., readl(base + i + 28)); The loop bound only checks the row's starting offset, so the final row reads a full 32 bytes from a position that is below the end of the window but too close to it. base is mapped with exactly that length: np->base = ioremap(addr, np->register_size); so the tail of that row is read from beyond the length the driver asked for. Per variant, the last iteration reads past register_size by: NV_PCI_REGSZ_VER1 (0x270): row 0x260 reads to 0x27f, 16 bytes over NV_PCI_REGSZ_VER2 (0x2d4): row 0x2c0 reads to 0x2df, 12 bytes over NV_PCI_REGSZ_VER3 (0x604): row 0x600 reads to 0x61f, 28 bytes over This happens on every supported device, not just one of them. Note that it is not a consequence of the sizes being odd: with i <= register_size the offending row is reached whatever the size, and a size that were a multiple of 32 would overrun by a full row rather than by a remainder. To be precise about the severity: the reads stay inside the BAR. Memory BAR sizes are powers of two, the driver only accepts a region with pci_resource_len() >= register_size (forcedeth.c:5757-5762), and the next power of two at or above each register_size already covers the offending row: 0x400 for 0x270 and 0x2d4, 0x800 for 0x604. ioremap() also rounds the mapped length up to page granularity, so the reads land inside the mapping the CPU has as well. What they leave is the window the driver asked for, not the BAR and not the mapping. That is still a driver reading registers it did not ask for, and it is trivial to avoid, but nobody should expect a fault from it. Changing <= to < is not enough: register_size is a length and every size above is larger than its last row start, so i still reaches the offending row. Check that the whole row fits instead. The trade-off is that a partial trailing row is no longer dumped: 16 bytes for VER1, 20 for VER2, 4 for VER3. That seemed preferable to reading outside the requested window, and to open-coding a second, narrower dump for the remainder in what is a debug-only path. Extending the dump to cover the tail can be done on top if anyone misses those registers. Only reachable with the debug_tx_timeout module parameter, which defaults to false. It has not been observed at runtime: forcing a genuine TX timeout on the reference machine is not something I can do safely, so this rests on the arithmetic above and on a build test, not on a reproduction. UBSAN does not catch it either, since these are MMIO reads rather than an array access. It was found by reading the function while fixing the saved_config_space off-by-one in nv_suspend() and nv_resume(). The dump was introduced with a fixed 0x400 bound while ioremap() mapped only NV_PCI_REGSZ (0x270), so it read about 0x190 bytes too far from the start. Commit 86a0f04387bf ("[PATCH] forcedeth: fix initialization") later replaced 0x400 with np->register_size, which shrank the overrun to the remainder but did not remove it.

forcedeth: fix off-by-one when saving/restoring non-PCI config space

2026-08-20T19:24:44+00:00

nv_suspend() and nv_resume() walk the non-PCI configuration space with for (i = 0; i <= np->register_size/sizeof(u32); i++) which runs one iteration too many. saved_config_space is declared as u32 saved_config_space[NV_PCI_REGSZ_MAX/4]; and NV_PCI_REGSZ_VER3 is equal to NV_PCI_REGSZ_MAX (0x604), so on a VER3 device register_size/sizeof(u32) is exactly the array length and the last iteration addresses one element past the end. The element it lands on is np->name_rx[0..3]: saved_config_space[] is followed immediately by char name_rx[IFNAMSIZ + 3], and char needs no padding. Nothing observable is corrupted by that, because nv_request_irq() rewrites name_rx with sprintf() before it is ever passed to request_irq(). The bug is the out-of-bounds access itself, which UBSAN reports and which CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y turns into a trap that aborts the running kernel code, plus an MMIO read and, on resume, an MMIO writel() to base + 0x604, one dword past the range the driver mapped: np->base = ioremap(addr, np->register_size); VER1 and VER2 devices stay inside the array, but they too get the stray read and the stray write one dword past their own window. Caught by UBSAN on an Apple Macmini3,1 (MCP79) during a deep S3 cycle. The splat below is trimmed: the build path in the file name, the CPU and taint lines, the Workqueue line, the "?" hint frames, and the frames below device_suspend are all cut. The kernel was tainted, with an out-of-tree nouveau and CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC; forcedeth itself was the stock module. UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c:6225:25 index 385 is out of range for type 'u32 [385]' Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x5d/0x80 ubsan_epilogue+0x5/0x2b __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds.cold+0x54/0x59 __this_module+0xe398c/0xe9010 [forcedeth] pci_pm_suspend+0x80/0x170 dpm_run_callback+0x51/0x160 device_suspend+0x1a2/0x4a0 ... Both loops are hit. UBSAN reports each source location only once per module load (__ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds() calls suppress_report(), which does test_and_set_bit(REPORTED_BIT, ...) on the struct source_location), so the two splats land in the first S3 cycle after the module is loaded and later cycles are silent even though the access still runs off the end every time. In that first cycle line 6225 is reported from pci_pm_suspend and line 6240 from pci_pm_resume. The same off-by-one was fixed in nv_get_regs() by commit ba9aa134287f ("forcedeth: fix buffer overflow") in 2012; these two loops were missed. The suspend and resume side was reported on LKML in September 2013 by Marc Weber, with the same analysis and the same one-character fix, but the patch was attached rather than sent inline and the thread ended there. Use < instead of <=, which saves and restores exactly register_size bytes.

forcedeth: fix UAF of txrx_stats in nv_remove

2026-07-28T00:52:50+00:00

nv_remove() frees the per-CPU txrx_stats before unregister_netdev(). Until unregister completes, ndo_get_stats64, the NAPI/xmit data path, and nv_close()/drain may still access txrx_stats, leading to a use-after-free. Free the stats only after unregister_netdev().

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook
