Subject: [PATCH ipsec] esp: Force skb_cow_data() on RX when the skb is non-linear
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:49:13 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <afLDKSvAvMwGh7Fy@v4bel> (raw)
esp_input() and esp6_input() skip skb_cow_data() on uncloned skbs
through two arms: one for fully linear skbs (nfrags = 1) and one for
skbs carrying paged fragments without a frag_list, which sets
nfrags = skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags + 1. In both arms the skb is mapped
into a scatterlist via skb_to_sgvec() and passed as both src and dst of
aead_request_set_crypt(), so the AEAD operates in place over the
existing frag pages.
Drop the paged-fragment arm so any non-linear inbound skb falls through
to skb_cow_data(). The fully linear fast path is unchanged and the
existing skb_cow_data() error handling that follows the gate is reused.
Fixes: cac2661c53f3 ("esp4: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible")
Fixes: 03e2a30f6a27 ("esp6: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible")
