Two race conditions can be triggered when storing xps cpus, resulting in various oops and invalid memory accesses: 1. Calling netdev_set_num_tc while netif_set_xps_queue: - netif_set_xps_queue uses dev->tc_num as one of the parameters to compute the size of new_dev_maps when allocating it. dev->tc_num is also used to access the map, and the compiler may generate code to retrieve this field multiple times in the function. - netdev_set_num_tc sets dev->tc_num. If new_dev_maps is allocated using dev->tc_num and then dev->tc_num is set to a higher value through netdev_set_num_tc, later accesses to new_dev_maps in netif_set_xps_queue could lead to accessing memory outside of new_dev_maps; triggering an oops. 2. Calling netif_set_xps_queue while netdev_set_num_tc is running: 2.1. netdev_set_num_tc starts by resetting the xps queues, dev->tc_num isn't updated yet. 2.2. netif_set_xps_queue is called, setting up the map with the *old* dev->num_tc. 2.3. netdev_set_num_tc updates dev->tc_num. 2.4. Later accesses to the map lead to out of bound accesses and oops. A similar issue can be found with netdev_reset_tc. One way of triggering this is to set an iface up (for which the driver uses netdev_set_num_tc in the open path, such as bnx2x) and writing to xps_cpus in a concurrent thread. With the right timing an oops is triggered. Both issues have the same fix: netif_set_xps_queue, netdev_set_num_tc and netdev_reset_tc should be mutually exclusive. We do that by taking the rtnl lock in xps_cpus_store.
