Subject: [PATCH net-next V2] net: fix kfree_skb_list use of skb_mark_not_on_list
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:34:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <167421088417.1125894.9761158218878962159.stgit@firesoul> (raw)

A bug was introduced by commit eedade12f4cb ("net: kfree_skb_list use
kmem_cache_free_bulk"). It unconditionally unlinked the SKB list via
invoking skb_mark_not_on_list().

In this patch we choose to remove the skb_mark_not_on_list() call as it
isn't necessary. It would be possible and correct to call
skb_mark_not_on_list() only when __kfree_skb_reason() returns true,
meaning the SKB is ready to be free'ed, as it calls/check skb_unref().

This fix is needed as kfree_skb_list() is also invoked on skb_shared_info
frag_list (skb_drop_fraglist() calling kfree_skb_list()). A frag_list can
have SKBs with elevated refcnt due to cloning via skb_clone_fraglist(),
which takes a reference on all SKBs in the list. This implies the
invariant that all SKBs in the list must have the same refcnt, when using
kfree_skb_list().
