Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: enetc: fix NTMP DMA use-after-free issue
The AI-generated review reported a potential DMA use-after-free issue
[1]. If netc_xmit_ntmp_cmd() times out and returns an error, the pending
command is not explicitly aborted, while ntmp_free_data_mem()
unconditionally frees the DMA buffer. If the buffer has already been
reallocated elsewhere, this may lead to silent memory corruption. Because
the hardware eventually processes the pending command and perform a DMA
write of the response to the physical address of the freed buffer.
To resolve this issue, this patch does the following modifications:
1. Convert cbdr->ring_lock from a spinlock to a mutex
The lock was originally a spinlock in case NTMP operations might be
invoked from atomic context. After downstream support for all NTMP
tables, no such usage has materialized. A mutex lock is now required
because the driver now needs to reclaim used BDs and release associa
