From 8fc3672a8ad3e782bac80e979bc2a2c10960cbe9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lijun Pan Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 17:04:56 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ibmvnic: fix ibmvnic_set_mac Jakub Kicinski brought up a concern in ibmvnic_set_mac(). ibmvnic_set_mac() does this: ether_addr_copy(adapter->mac_addr, addr->sa_data); if (adapter->state != VNIC_PROBED) rc = __ibmvnic_set_mac(netdev, addr->sa_data); So if state == VNIC_PROBED, the user can assign an invalid address to adapter->mac_addr, and ibmvnic_set_mac() will still return 0. The fix is to validate ethernet address at the beginning of ibmvnic_set_mac(), and move the ether_addr_copy to the case of "adapter->state != VNIC_PROBED".
