> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-net 2/2] ice: fix NULL access of 
> tx->in_use in ice_ll_ts_intr
>
> Recent versions of the E810 firmware have support for an extra interrupt to 
> handle report of the "low latency" Tx timestamps coming from the specialized 
> low latency firmware interface. Instead of polling the registers, software 
> can wait until the low latency interrupt is fired.
>
> This logic makes use of the Tx timestamp tracking structure, ice_ptp_tx, as 
> it uses the same "ready" bitmap to track which Tx timestamps.
>
> Unfortunately, the ice_ll_ts_intr() function does not check if the tracker is 
> initialized before its first access. This results in NULL dereference or 
> use-after-free bugs similar to the issues fixed in the
> ice_ptp_ts_irq() function.
>
> Fix this by only checking the in_use bitmap (and other fields) if the tracker 
> is marked as initialized. The reset flow will clear the init field under lock 
> before it tears the tracker down, thus preventing any use-after-free or NULL 
> access.
