The code currently reads both U32 attributes and U64 attributes as U64, so when a U32 attribute is provided by userspace (ie, when not using XPN), on big endian systems, we'll load that value into the upper 32bits of the next_pn field instead of the lower 32bits. This means that the value that userspace provided is ignored (we only care about the lower 32bits for non-XPN), and we'll start using PNs from 0. Switch to nla_get_uint, which will read the value correctly on all arches, whether it's 32b or 64b. Fixes: 48ef50fa866a ("macsec: Netlink support of XPN cipher suites (IEEE 802.1AEbw)") Signed-off-by: Sabrina Dubroca --- I'm submitting it for net since it fixes the behavior on BE, but I'm ok if this goes to net-next instead. The patch doesn't conflict with my policy rework. drivers/net/macsec.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/macsec.c b/drivers/net/macsec.c index 4c75d1fea552..01329fe7451a 100644 --- a/drivers/net/macsec.c +++ b/drivers/net/macsec.c @@ -1844,7 +1844,7 @@ static int macsec_add_rxsa(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info) if (tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]) { spin_lock_bh(&rx_sa->lock); - rx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_u64(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); + rx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_uint(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); spin_unlock_bh(&rx_sa->lock); } @@ -2086,7 +2086,7 @@ static int macsec_add_txsa(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info) } spin_lock_bh(&tx_sa->lock); - tx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_u64(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); + tx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_uint(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); spin_unlock_bh(&tx_sa->lock); if (tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_ACTIVE]) @@ -2398,7 +2398,7 @@ static int macsec_upd_txsa(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info) spin_lock_bh(&tx_sa->lock); prev_pn = tx_sa->next_pn_halves; - tx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_u64(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); + tx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_uint(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); spin_unlock_bh(&tx_sa->lock); } @@ -2496,7 +2496,7 @@ static int macsec_upd_rxsa(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info) spin_lock_bh(&rx_sa->lock); prev_pn = rx_sa->next_pn_halves; - rx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_u64(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); + rx_sa->next_pn = nla_get_uint(tb_sa[MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN]); spin_unlock_bh(&rx_sa->lock); } -- 2.51.0
