Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3] xskmap: reject TX-only AF_XDP sockets
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 20:54:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428125518.4556-1-linpu5433@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2b156bc4277a9e891f3399935416701d1f9efd7c.1777276241.git.linpu5433@gmail.com>
XSKMAP entries are used as redirect targets for incoming XDP frames.
A TX-only AF_XDP socket lacks an Rx ring and cannot handle redirected
traffic, but xsk_map_update_elem() currently allows such sockets to
be inserted into the map.
Redirecting packets to such a socket on the veth generic-XDP path
causes a kernel crash in xsk_generic_rcv().
This became possible after xsk_is_setup_for_bpf_map() was removed from
the XSKMAP update path, which allowed bound TX-only sockets to be
inserted into the map.
Reject TX-only sockets during XSKMAP updates to avoid the crash.
They remain fully operational for pure Tx purposes outside XSKMAP.
Fixes: 968be23ceaca ("xsk: Fix possible segfault at xskmap entry insertion")
