Subject: [PATCH ipsec v2] xfrm: iptfs: fix skb_put() panic on non-linear skb during reassembly
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 15:09:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304140935.19783-1-fmancera@suse.de> (raw)
In iptfs_reassem_cont(), IP-TFS attempts to append data to the new inner
packet 'newskb' that is being reassembled. First a zero-copy approach is
tried if it succeeds then newskb becomes non-linear.
When a subsequent fragment in the same datagram does not meet the
fast-path conditions, a memory copy is performed. It calls skb_put() to
append the data and as newskb is non-linear it triggers
SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT check.
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

RIP: 0010:skb_put+0x3c/0x40

<TASK>
Fix this by checking if the skb is non-linear. If it is, linearize it by
calling skb_linearize(). As the initial allocation of newskb originally
reserved enough tailroom for the entire reassembled packet we do not
need to check if we have enough tailroom or extend it.

v2: adjusted fixes tag and dropped skb_is_nonlinear() as skb_linearize()
is enough.
