Subject: [PATCH net] ibmvnic: Don't reference skb after sending to VIOS
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2025 09:52:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250214155233.235559-1-nnac123@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Previously, after successfully flushing the xmit buffer to VIOS,
the tx_bytes stat was incremented by the length of the skb.
It is invalid to access the skb memory after sending the buffer to
the VIOS because, at any point after sending, the VIOS can trigger
an interrupt to free this memory. A race between reading skb->len
and freeing the skb is possible (especially during LPM) and will
result in use-after-free:
