Subject: [RFC/PATCH] vdpa/mlx5: Fix buffer length in create_direct_keys()
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 12:01:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706100129.1541140-1-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

We have seen in our CI the following KASAN message:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cmd_exec+0x550/0xca0 [mlx5_core]
Read of size 272 at addr 0000000176795020 by task qemu-system-s39/82764
[...]
[<000011388ab3a7a0>] cmd_exec+0x550/0xca0 [mlx5_core]
[<000011388ab3b61c>] mlx5_cmd_exec_cb+0x25c/0x4f0 [mlx5_core]
[<000011388b21e82e>] mlx5_vdpa_exec_async_cmds+0x22e/0x5e0 [mlx5_vdpa]
[<000011388b21fd44>] create_direct_keys+0x954/0xef0 [mlx5_vdpa]
[...]
The buggy address is located 4128 bytes inside of
allocated 4384-byte region [0000000176794000, 0000000176795120)

So in essence we read 16 bytes beyond 4384-byte allocation.
create_direct_keys calculates the pointer and length for in and out
buffers.
The size calculation for in includes the entire structure
size (out + in + mtt[]) but the pointer passed to cmd_exec points only
to the 'in' field, skipping the 'out' field.

This causes mlx5_copy_to_msg() to read beyond the allocated buffer
by sizeof(out) bytes when copying command data.

Calculates the input size as sizeof(in) + mtt_array_size to match the
pointer and allocation size.

Fixes: 0071b138d44a ("vdpa/mlx5: Create direct MKEYs in parallel")
