Muhammad Hammad Ijaz 0cfcd31f98 net: mvpp2: guard flow control update with global_tx_fc in buffer switching 
[ Upstream commit 8a63baadf0 ]

mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers() unconditionally calls
mvpp2_bm_pool_update_priv_fc() when switching between per-cpu and
shared buffer pool modes. This function programs CM3 flow control
registers via mvpp2_cm3_read()/mvpp2_cm3_write(), which dereference
priv->cm3_base without any NULL check.

When the CM3 SRAM resource is not present in the device tree (the
third reg entry added by commit 60523583b0 ("dts: marvell: add CM3
SRAM memory to cp11x ethernet device tree")), priv->cm3_base remains
NULL and priv->global_tx_fc is false. Any operation that triggers
mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(), for example an MTU change that crosses
the jumbo frame threshold, will crash:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
  virtual address 0000000000000000

   sock_ioctl+0x314/0x378

Every other flow control call site in the driver already guards
hardware access with either priv->global_tx_fc or port->tx_fc.
mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers() is the only place that omits this check.

Add the missing priv->global_tx_fc guard to both the disable and
re-enable calls in mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(), consistent with the
rest of the driver.

README 

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.
