Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/1] i40e: xsk: advance next_to_clean on status descriptors
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 19:24:38 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113082438.54154-2-alessandro.d@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113082438.54154-1-alessandro.d@gmail.com>
Whenever a status descriptor is received, i40e processes and skips over
it, correctly updating next_to_process but forgetting to update
next_to_clean. In the next iteration this accidentally causes the
creation of an invalid multi-buffer xdp_buff where the first fragment
is the status descriptor.
If then a skb is constructed from such an invalid buffer - because the
eBPF program returns XDP_PASS - a panic occurs:

Advance next_to_clean to ensure invalid xdp_buff(s) aren't created.
Rename i40e_inc_ntp to i40e_inc_ntp_ntc. Make it take an optional
pointer to next_to_clean so it's harder for callers to accidentally
forget to advance it.
