Subject: [PATCH net v3] xsk: fix NULL pointer dereference in __xsk_rcv()
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 16:47:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806204757.47817-1-blbllhy@gmail.com> (raw)
In the __xsk_rcv() multi-buffer path, xsk_buff_alloc() is called in a
loop without checking its return value. xsk_buff_can_alloc() only
counts fill queue entries without validating their addresses, so it
can succeed while xsk_buff_alloc() rejects all remaining entries and
returns NULL.
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xdffffc0000000000
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range
[0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
RIP: 0010:__xsk_rcv+0x426/0xc20 (net/xdp/xsk.c:350)
Call Trace:
xsk_generic_rcv+0x26d/0x5f0

Fix this with a two-stage transaction. First allocate and stage all
buffers required for the packet using the pool's xskb_list, recycling
them with xsk_buff_free() if any allocation fails. Only after the
allocation stage succeeds, copy the data, reserve the RX descriptors,
and release the buffers in an error-free loop using
xsk_buff_get_frag().

v3:
- Use pool's xskb_list and xsk_buff_get_frag() instead of a local
staging list, per Maciej and Jason's review.
- Set frags flag on head so xsk_buff_free() recycles the entire
staged group in one call.
- Guard against duplicate aligned Fill Ring addresses.
v2:
- Allocate all packet buffers before reserving RX descriptors.
- Recycle partially allocated buffers instead of only cancelling the
RX producer reservations.
