Subject: [PATCH v2] sfc: handle NULL returned by xdp_convert_buff_to_frame()
Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2025 14:56:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250726195605.1650303-1-chenyuan0y@gmail.com> (raw)

The xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() function can return NULL when there is
insufficient headroom in the buffer to store the xdp_frame structure
or when the driver didn't reserve enough tailroom for skb_shared_info.

Currently, the sfc driver does not check for this NULL return value
in the XDP_TX case within efx_do_xdp(). While the efx_xdp_tx_buffers()
function has some defensive checks, passing a NULL xdpf can still lead
to undefined behavior when the function tries to access xdpf->len and
xdpf->data.

Fix by adding a proper NULL check in the XDP_TX case, following the
suggestions of the developers.

Fixes: 1b698fa5d8ef ("xdp: Rename convert_to_xdp_frame in xdp_convert_buff_to_frame")
