Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 2/9] net/mlx5e: check for failure when pulling the Ethernet header after XDP
Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 18:16:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-164446@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007-b4-pskb-pull-tail-drivers-v1-2-9512b0fb977b@toxicpanda.com>
> When an XDP program leaves less than ETH_HLEN in the linear part of a
> multi-buffer packet, mlx5e_skb_from_cqe_mpwrq_nonlinear() pulls the rest
> of the Ethernet header in from the frags with __pskb_pull_tail() and
> ignores the return value. If that pull fails, eth_type_trans() later
> finds less than ETH_HLEN in the head and BUG()s in __skb_pull().
>
> Use pskb_may_pull() instead and drop the packet if it fails. Pulling
> min(ETH_HLEN, skb->len) keeps today's behaviour for a frame shorter
> than an Ethernet header.
