Summary
ice: Fix increasing MSI-X on VF
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ice: Fix increasing MSI-X on VF

Increasing MSI-X value on a VF leads to invalid memory operations. This is caused by not reallocating some arrays.

Reproducer: modprobe ice echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$PF_PCI/sriov_drivers_autoprobe echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$PF_PCI/sriov_numvfs echo 17 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$VF0_PCI/sriov_vf_msix_count

Default MSI-X is 16, so 17 and above triggers this issue.

KASAN reports:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ice_vsi_alloc_ring_stats+0x38d/0x4b0 [ice] Read of size 8 at addr ffff8888b937d180 by task bash/28433 (...)

To fix it, use ice_vsi_rebuild() instead of ice_vf_reconfig_vsi(). This causes the required arrays to be reallocated taking the new queue count into account (ice_vsi_realloc_stat_arrays()). Set req_txq and req_rxq before ice_vsi_rebuild(), so that realloc uses the newly set queue count.

Additionally, ice_vsi_rebuild() does not remove VSI filters (ice_fltr_remove_all()), so ice_vf_init_host_cfg() is no longer necessary.
