net: dsa: fix db type confusion in host fdb/mdb add/del
We have the following code paths: Host FDB (unicast RX filtering): dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_add() dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add() | | +--------------+ +------------+ | | v v dsa_port_host_fdb_add() dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_del() dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_del() | | +--------------+ +------------+ | | v v dsa_port_host_fdb_del() Host MDB (multicast RX filtering): dsa_port_standalone_host_mdb_add() dsa_port_bridge_host_mdb_add() | | +--------------+ +------------+ | | v v dsa_port_host_mdb_add() dsa_port_standalone_host_mdb_del() dsa_port_bridge_host_mdb_del() | | +--------------+ +------------+ | | v v dsa_port_host_mdb_del() The logic added by commit 5e8a1e03 ("net: dsa: install secondary unicast and multicast addresses as host FDB/MDB") zeroes out db.bridge.num if the switch doesn't support ds->fdb_isolation (the majority doesn't). This is done for a reason explained in commit c2693363 ("net: dsa: request drivers to perform FDB isolation"). Taking a single code path as example - dsa_port_host_fdb_add() - the others are similar - the problem is that this function handles: - DSA_DB_PORT databases, when called from dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_add() - DSA_DB_BRIDGE databases, when called from dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add() So, if dsa_port_host_fdb_add() were to make any change on the "bridge.num" attribute of the database, this would only be correct for a DSA_DB_BRIDGE, and a type confusion for a DSA_DB_PORT bridge. However, this bug is without consequences, for 2 reasons: - dsa_port_standalone_host_fdb_add() is only called from code which is (in)directly guarded by dsa_switch_supports_uc_filtering(ds), and that function only returns true if ds->fdb_isolation is set. So, the code only executed for DSA_DB_BRIDGE databases. - Even if the code was not dead for DSA_DB_PORT, we have the following memory layout: struct dsa_bridge { struct net_device *dev; unsigned int num; bool tx_fwd_offload; refcount_t refcount; }; struct dsa_db { enum dsa_db_type type; union { const struct dsa_port *dp; // DSA_DB_PORT struct dsa_lag lag; struct dsa_bridge bridge; // DSA_DB_BRIDGE }; }; So, the zeroization of dsa_db :: bridge :: num on a dsa_db structure of type DSA_DB_PORT would access memory which is unused, because we only use dsa_db :: dp for DSA_DB_PORT, and this is mapped at the same address with dsa_db :: dev for DSA_DB_BRIDGE, thanks to the union definition. It is correct to fix up dsa_db :: bridge :: num only from code paths that come from the bridge / switchdev, so move these there.
