In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i40e: Fix DMA mappings leak

During reallocation of RX buffers, new DMA mappings are created for
those buffers.

steps for reproduction:
while :
do
for ((i=0; i<=8160; i=i+32))
do
ethtool -G enp130s0f0 rx $i tx $i
sleep 0.5
ethtool -g enp130s0f0
done
done

This resulted in crash:
i40e 0000:01:00.1: Unable to allocate memory for the Rx descriptor ring, size=65536

This was caused because of new buffers with different RX ring count should
substitute older ones, but those buffers were freed in
i40e_configure_rx_ring and reallocated again with i40e_alloc_rx_bi,
thus kfree on rx_bi caused leak of already mapped DMA.

Fix this by reallocating ZC with rx_bi_zc struct when BPF program loads. Additionally
reallocate back to rx_bi when BPF program unloads.

If BPF program is loaded/unloaded and XSK pools are created, reallocate
RX queues accordingly in XSP_SETUP_XSK_POOL handler.
