Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Stop leased rxq before uninstalling its memory provider
netif_rxq_cleanup_unlease() tears down the memory provider that was
installed on a physical RX queue through a netkit queue lease. It
currently revokes the provider's DMA mappings before stopping the
physical queue:
__netif_mp_uninstall_rxq(virt_rxq, p); /* DMA unmap */
__netif_mp_close_rxq(phys_rxq->dev, rxq_idx, p); /* queue stop */
This inverts the ordering used by the regular teardown paths (normal
device unregister and the io_uring zcrx close path), which stop the
queue before revoking the provider's mappings.
With the physical queue still live, its NAPI can keep consuming
net_iov entries from the page_pool alloc cache after the
__netif_mp_uninstall_rxq() has already cleared their dma_addr,
opening a window for the device to DMA to a stale or zero address.
Fix it by swapping the two calls so the queue is stopped (and its
NAPI quiesc
