After free xsk_pool, there is possibility that napi polling is still running in the middle, thus causes a kernel crash due to kernel NULL pointer dereference of rx_q->xsk_pool and tx_q->xsk_pool. Fix this by changing the XDP pool setup sequence to: 1. disable napi before free xsk_pool 2. enable napi after init xsk_pool The following kernel panic is observed without this patch: RIP: 0010:xsk_uses_need_wakeup+0x5/0x10 Call Trace: stmmac_napi_poll_rxtx+0x3a9/0xae0 [stmmac] __napi_poll+0x27/0x130 net_rx_action+0x233/0x280 __do_softirq+0xe2/0x2b6 run_ksoftirqd+0x1a/0x20 smpboot_thread_fn+0xac/0x140 ? sort_range+0x20/0x20 kthread+0x124/0x150 ? set_kthread_struct+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 ---[ end trace a77c8956b79ac107 ]--- Fixes: bba2556efad6 ("net: stmmac: Enable RX via AF_XDP zero-copy") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.13.x Signed-off-by: Song Yoong Siang <yoong.siang.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
