linux / linux_kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mana: Fix RX buf alloc_size alignment and atomic op panic The MANA driver's RX buffer alloc_size is passed into napi_build_skb() to create SKB. skb_shinfo(skb) is located at the end of skb, and its alignment is affected by the alloc_size passed into napi_build_skb(). The size needs to be aligned properly for better performance and atomic operations. Otherwise, on ARM64 CPU, for certain MTU settings like 4000, atomic operations may panic on the skb_shinfo(skb)->dataref due to alignment fault. To fix this bug, add proper alignment to the alloc_size calculation. Sample panic info: [ 253.298819] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff000129ba5cce [ 253.300900] Mem abort info: [ 253.301760] ESR = 0x0000000096000021 [ 253.302825] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 253.304268] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 253.305172] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 253.306103] FSC = 0x21: alignment fault C
