Subject: [PATCH] nfc: s3fwrn5: allocate rx skb before consuming bytes
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2026 12:21:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402042148.65236-1-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

s3fwrn82_uart_read() reports the number of accepted bytes to the serdev
core. The current code consumes bytes into recv_skb and may already
deliver a complete frame before allocating a fresh receive buffer.

If that alloc_skb() fails, the callback returns 0 even though it has
already consumed bytes, and it leaves recv_skb as NULL for the next
receive callback. That breaks the receive_buf() accounting contract and
can also lead to a NULL dereference on the next skb_put_u8().

Allocate the receive skb lazily before consuming the next byte instead.
If allocation fails, return the number of bytes already accepted.

Fixes: 3f52c2cb7e3a ("nfc: s3fwrn5: Support a UART interface")
