mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix memory leak during rehash
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The rehash delayed work migrates filters from one region to another.
This is done by iterating over all chunks (all the filters with the same
priority) in the region and in each chunk iterating over all the
filters.

If the migration fails, the code tries to migrate the filters back to
the old region. However, the rollback itself can also fail in which case
another migration will be erroneously performed. Besides the fact that
this ping pong is not a very good idea, it also creates a problem.

Each virtual chunk references two chunks: The currently used one
('vchunk->chunk') and a backup ('vchunk->chunk2'). During migration the
first holds the chunk we want to migrate filters to and the second holds
the chunk we are migrating filters from.

The code currently assumes - but does not verify - that the backup chunk
does not exist (NULL) if the currently used chunk does not reference the
target region. This assumption breaks when we are trying to rollback a
rollback, resulting in the backup chunk being overwritten and leaked
[1].

Fix by not rolling back a failed rollback and add a warning to avoid
future cases.
