When constructing an skb in the XSK generic transmit path, neither
xsk_build_skb() nor xsk_build_skb_zerocopy() calls
skb_reset_network_header(). After __finalize_skb_around(), the
network_header offset defaults to 0 (pointing to skb->head). The
subsequent skb_reserve(skb, hr) moves skb->data forward by hr bytes,
but leaves network_header still at 0. This makes skb_network_offset()
return a negative value (-hr).
When such an skb reaches a tunnel driver like ipgre_xmit(), the call
chain pskb_inet_may_pull() -> pskb_network_may_pull_reason() computes:
pskb_may_pull_reason(skb, skb_network_offset(skb) + nhlen)
The negative int from skb_network_offset() is implicitly promoted to
unsigned int, wrapping around to a huge value. This triggers the
DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(len > INT_MAX) in pskb_may_pull_reason().
Call trace from syzkaller:
ipgre_xmit+0x958/0xcd0 net/ipv4/ip_gre.c:658
__netdev_start_xmit include/linux/netdevice.h:5400
netdev_start_xmit include/linux/netdevice.h:5409
__dev_direct_xmit+0x4b6/0x730 net/core/dev.c:4942
__xsk_generic_xmit net/xdp/xsk.c:1079
xsk_generic_xmit+0x277a/0x40a0 net/xdp/xsk.c:1120
Fix this by calling skb_reset_network_header() in the common path to
cover both the copy and the zerocopy cases, so that network_header
points at skb->data and skb_network_offset() returns 0.
