Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix queues reservation for XDP
When XDP was configured on a system with large number of CPUs
and X722 NIC there was a call trace with NULL pointer dereference.
i40e 0000:87:00.0: failed to get tracking for 256 queues for VSI 0 err -12
i40e 0000:87:00.0: setup of MAIN VSI failed
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

RIP: 0033:0x7f83fa7a39e0
This was caused by PF queue pile fragmentation due to
flow director VSI queue being placed right after main VSI.
Because of this main VSI was not able to resize its
queue allocation for XDP resulting in no queues allocated
for main VSI when XDP was turned on.
Fix this by always allocating last queue in PF queue pile
for a flow director VSI.
