CVE-2023-53060
02.05.2025, 16:15
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: revert rtnl_lock() that causes deadlock
The commit 6faee3d4ee8b ("igb: Add lock to avoid data race") adds
rtnl_lock to eliminate a false data race shown below
(FREE from device detaching) | (USE from netdev core)
igb_remove | igb_ndo_get_vf_config
igb_disable_sriov | vf >= adapter->vfs_allocated_count?
kfree(adapter->vf_data) |
adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 0 |
| memcpy(... adapter->vf_data[vf]
The above race will never happen and the extra rtnl_lock causes deadlock

Since the igb_disable_sriov() will call pci_disable_sriov() before
releasing any resources, the netdev core will synchronize the cleanup to
avoid any races. This patch removes the useless rtnl_(un)lock to guarantee
correctness.Enginsight| Vendor | Product | Version |
