net: qede: initialize extack in qede_flow_spec_to_rule()
qede_flow_spec_to_rule() declares a netlink_ext_ack on the stack without initializing it. qede_parse_flow_attr() and qede_flow_spec_validate() only set extack._msg on error paths via NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(), so on a successful parse the err_out block reads an uninitialized pointer. If that garbage happens to be non-NULL, DP_NOTICE("%s", extack._msg) dereferences it inside vsnprintf, causing a page fault and kernel panic. This manifests when configuring ethtool ntuple flow rules (ethtool -U flow-type tcp4/udp4) on kernels built with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_NONE=y. With CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO=y the bug is masked because the compiler zero-initializes extack, making _msg NULL. Reproduced on RHEL 9.8 (kernel-5.14.0-687.47.1.el9_8) and mainline (v7.3-rc6) with the following reproducer: IFACE=ens2f0 ip link set $IFACE up ethtool -K $IFACE ntuple on for i in $(seq 1 100); do ethtool -U $IFACE flow-type udp4 src-ip 192.168.2.$i action -1 done The loop panics reliably after 10-15 iterations with: BUG: unable to handle page fault RIP: string+0x49/0xd0 Call Trace: vsnprintf qede_flow_spec_to_rule+0x2b6/0x4b0 [qede] qede_add_cls_rule ethtool_set_rxnfc Zero-initialize extack so _msg is NULL unless explicitly set by an error path.
