Subject: [PATCH] netdevsim: update rxq->napi pointer during queue reset
Author: subasris1210@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git a59f57e2aa127c5354168d2ec4bac920df1be4f4
In netdevsim, when queue reset is performed using debugfs, it triggers
these sequence of operations: nsim_queue_stop() -> nsim_queue_start()
-> nsim_queue_mem_free(). nsim_queue_mem_free() frees the old
nsim_rq struct which embeds the napi_struct. But the rxq->napi pointer
in the struct netdev_rx_queue still points to the old nsim_rq's embedded
napi_struct. So, any subsequent xsk_bind() which reads rxq->napi->napi_id
after a queue reset is a use-after-free.
Add netif_queue_set_napi() calls to nsim_queue_stop() and
nsim_queue_start() which clears the rxq->napi during stop
and sets it to the new napi instance during start.
