linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xdp: Remove WARN() from __xdp_reg_mem_model()
syzkaller reports a warning in __xdp_reg_mem_model().
The warning occurs only if __mem_id_init_hash_table() returns an error. It
returns the error in two cases:
1. memory allocation fails;
2. rhashtable_init() fails when some fields of rhashtable_params
struct are not initialized properly.
The second case cannot happen since there is a static const rhashtable_params
struct with valid fields. So, warning is only triggered when there is a
problem with memory allocation.
Thus, there is no sense in using WARN() to handle this error and it can be
safely removed.
