Subject: [PATCH net 3/4] xsk: handle NULL dereference of the skb without frags issue
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 12:56:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260418045644.28612-4-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260418045644.28612-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com>

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

When a first descriptor (xs->skb == NULL) triggers -EOVERFLOW in
xsk_build_skb_zerocopy (e.g., MAX_SKB_FRAGS exceeded), the free_err
EOVERFLOW handler unconditionally dereferences xs->skb via
xsk_inc_num_desc(xs->skb) and xsk_drop_skb(xs->skb), causing a NULL
pointer dereference.

In the patch 2/4, the skb is already freed by kfree_skb() inside
xsk_build_skb_zerocopy for the first-descriptor case, so we only need
to do the bookkeeping: cancel the one reserved CQ slot and account for
the single invalid descriptor.

Guard the existing xsk_inc_num_desc/xsk_drop_skb calls with an
xs->skb check (for the continuation case), and add an else branch
for the first-descriptor case that manually cancels the CQ slot and
increments invalid_descs by one.

Fixes: cf24f5a5feea ("xsk: add support for AF_XDP multi-buffer on Tx path")
