Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Reject fragmented frames in devmap
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Devmap broadcast redirects clone the packet for all but the last
destination.
For native XDP, that clone path copies only the linear xdp_frame data,
while fragmented frames keep skb_shared_info in tailroom outside the
linear area. Cloning such a frame leaves XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS set but
without valid frag metadata, and the later free path can interpret
uninitialized tail data as skb_shared_info, leading to an out-of-bounds
access during frame return.
Reject fragmented native XDP frames in dev_map_enqueue_clone().
Add the same restriction to the generic XDP clone path in
dev_map_redirect_clone(). Generic XDP represents fragmented packets as
nonlinear skbs, and rejecting them here keeps clone-based broadcast
support aligned between native and generic XDP.

[ Upstream commit 2e88d4ff03013937028f5397268b21e10cf68713 ]
Introduce flags field in xdp_frame and xdp_buffer data structures
to define additional buffer features. At the moment the only
supported buffer feature is frags bit (XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS).
frags bit is used to specify if this is a linear buffer
(XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS not set) or a frags frame (XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS
set). In the latter case the driver is expected to initialize the
skb_shared_info structure at the end of the first buffer to link together
subsequent buffers belonging to the same frame.
