Subject: [PATCH net] bng_en: pad short frames before sampling nr_frags
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 09:56:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007075649.468033-1-edumazet@kernel.org> (raw)

bnge_start_xmit() samples skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags into last_frag,
and stores it in tx_buf->nr_frags, before calling eth_skb_pad().

If a nonlinear skb is shorter than ETH_ZLEN, __skb_pad() calls
skb_linearize(), which pulls the frags into the linear part,
releases the frag pages and sets nr_frags to zero.

bnge_start_xmit() then uses the stale last_frag to fill TX_BD_CNT()
and to walk skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[], DMA-mapping pages the skb
no longer holds a reference on, and sending their content twice.

Fix this by calling eth_skb_pad() before nr_frags is sampled.

Found by Sashiko while reviewing the similar bnxt_en fix.
