[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net] i40e: xsk: fix multi-buffer XDP_PASS skb construction

[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net] i40e: xsk: fix multi-buffer XDP_PASS skb construction

[Chenguang Zhao]

From: Chenguang Zhao <zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

When AF_XDP ZC receives a multi-buffer frame and the XDP program
returns XDP_PASS, i40e_construct_skb_zc() copies frags into a new
skb. The copy used skb_frag_page() as the memcpy source (page
metadata instead of packet data) and passed a virtual address to
__skb_fill_page_desc_noacc(), which expects a struct page *.

Use skb_frag_address() for the copy, attach frags with
skb_add_rx_frag() so len/data_len/truesize are updated, and on
dev_alloc_page() failure free the skb via the shared out path so
xsk_buff_free() still runs and previously attached pages are
released by kfree_skb.

Fixes: 1c9ba9c14658 ("i40e: xsk: add RX multi-buffer support")
Signed-off-by: Chenguang Zhao <zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

 - Fix memcpy source: use skb_frag_address() instead of skb_frag_page(),
   which was copying page metadata rather than packet data.

 - Fix frag attachment: pass the allocated struct page * to the skb frag
   helper instead of the page virtual address.

 - Use skb_add_rx_frag() so skb->len, data_len and truesize are updated
   when attaching copied frags.

 - On mid-loop dev_alloc_page() failure, go through the shared out path
   so previously attached pages are released via kfree_skb and
   xsk_buff_free() is still called.

Hi!

I assume this is a fix, so you should include your target tree in patch
subject (net) plus Fixes: tag.

However, could you take a look if we could use xdp_build_skb_from_zc() and
wipe out i40e_construct_skb_zc() altogether?

Aleks, may I ask what is your intent here? Do you disagree with suggestion
I had regarding this change?

We could go with this as-is, right, but given we have a helper available
to do exactly what this patch touches, I think we could kill two birds
with one stone by removing home-grown code. However one might argue that
such change is a -next material.

Anyways, some explanation would be better than dropping plain tag.
