macvlan: Don't propagate promisc change to lower dev in passthru
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 7e1caea ]

Macvlan device in passthru mode sets its lower device promiscuous mode
according to its MACVLAN_FLAG_NOPROMISC flag instead of synchronizing it to
its own promiscuity setting. However, macvlan_change_rx_flags() function
doesn't check the mode before propagating such changes to the lower device
which can cause net_device->promiscuity counter overflow as illustrated by
reproduction example [0] and resulting dmesg log [1]. Fix the issue by
first verifying the mode in macvlan_change_rx_flags() function before
propagating promiscuous mode change to the lower device.

ip link add macvlan1 link enp8s0f0 type macvlan mode passthru
ip link set macvlan1 promisc on
ip l set dev macvlan1 up
ip link set macvlan1 promisc off
ip l set dev macvlan1 down
ip l set dev macvlan1 up
