Subject: [PATCH net v5 1/1] net/sched: fix pedit partial COW leading to page cache corruption
Date: Sun, 31 May 2026 08:32:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260531123221.48732-1-jhs@mojatatu.com> (raw)

From: Rajat Gupta <rajat.gupta@oss.qualcomm.com>

tcf_pedit_act() computes the COW range for skb_ensure_writable()
once before the key loop using tcfp_off_max_hint, but the hint does
not account for the runtime header offset added by typed keys. This
can leave part of the write region un-COW'd.

Fix by moving skb_ensure_writable() inside the per-key loop where
the actual write offset is known, and add overflow checking on the
offset arithmetic. For negative offsets (e.g. Ethernet header edits
at ingress), use skb_cow() to COW the headroom instead. Guard
offset_valid() against INT_MIN, where negation is undefined.

Fixes: 8b796475fd78 ("net/sched: act_pedit: really ensure the skb is writable")

v4->v5:
 1) Dead code removal obsoleted after removing tcfp_off_max_hint as identified
    by sashiko-claude[1]. Remove dead code updating "cur".
 2) Addition of hoffset at tkey->at promotes hoffset to unsigned int,
    wraps on overflow. Claim made by both sashiko-claude[1] and sashiko-gemini[2]
    I think this is far fetched but possible. Cast tkey->at to int.
 3) Signedness mismatch in min() macro may potentially cause build issues.
    Claim made by both sashiko-claude[1] and sashiko-gemini[2].
    Go back to min_t() for now. David L. can make a better proposal later..
