From: Dima Chumak dchumak@nvidia.com Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2021 15:16:26 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: Fix nullptr in mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow()
The result of __dev_get_by_index() is not checked for NULL, which then passed to mlx5e_attach_encap() and gets dereferenced.
Also, in case of a successful lookup, the net_device reference count is not incremented, which may result in net_device pointer becoming invalid at any time during mlx5e_attach_encap() execution.
Fix by using dev_get_by_index(), which does proper reference counting on the net_device pointer. Also, handle nullptr return value when mirred device is not found.
It's safe to call dev_put() on the mirred net_device pointer, right after mlx5e_attach_encap() call, because it's not being saved/copied down the call chain.
