Subject: [PATCH 4.17 062/101] net: cxgb3_main: fix potential Spectre v1
4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@...eddedor.com>
commit 676bcfece19f83621e905aa55b5ed2d45cc4f2d3 upstream.
t.qset_idx can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c:2286 cxgb_extension_ioctl()
warn: potential spectre issue 'adapter->msix_info'
Fix this by sanitizing t.qset_idx before using it to index
adapter->msix_info
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
