Subject: [PATCH net v4 1/2] xsk: Fix fragment node deletion to prevent buffer leak
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:08:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217211019.48280-2-nikhil.rao@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260217211019.48280-1-nikhil.rao@amd.com>
After commit b692bf9a7543 ("xsk: Get rid of xdp_buff_xsk::xskb_list_node"),
the list_node field is reused for both the xskb pool list and the buffer
free list, this causes a buffer leak as described below.
xp_free() checks if a buffer is already on the free list using
list_empty(&xskb->list_node). When list_del() is used to remove a node
from the xskb pool list, it doesn't reinitialize the node pointers.
This means list_empty() will return false even after the node has been
removed, causing xp_free() to incorrectly skip adding the buffer to the
free list.
Fix this by using list_del_init() instead of list_del() in all fragment
handling paths, this ensures the list node is reinitialized after removal,
allowing the list_empty() to work correctly.
Fixes: b692bf9a7543 ("xsk: Get rid of xdp_buff_xsk::xskb_list_node")
