Subject: [PATCH v2] xfrm: iptfs: propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG in iptfs_skb_add_frags()
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 11:31:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701033152.29222-1-635381823cyj@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Chen YanJun <moomichen@tencent.com>
When iptfs_skb_add_frags() copies frag references from the source
frag walk into a new SKB, it increments the page reference count via
__skb_frag_ref() but does not propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG to the
destination SKB's skb_shinfo->flags.
If the source SKB carries shared frags (e.g. from a page-pool backed
receive path), the new inner SKB will appear to ESP as having privately
owned frags. A subsequent esp_input() call for a nested transport-mode
SA then takes the no-COW fast path and decrypts in place, writing over
pages that are still referenced by the outer IPTFS SKB. This causes
kernel-visible memory corruption and can trigger a panic.
All other frag-transfer helpers in the kernel (skb_try_coalesce,
skb_gro_receive, __pskb_copy_fclone, skb_shift, skb_segment) correctly
propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG; align iptfs_skb_add_frags() with this
convention by setting the flag inside the loop immediately after
__skb_frag_ref() and nr_frags++, so every exit path that attaches a frag
unconditionally propagates SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG.
Fixes: 5f2b6a909574 ("xfrm: iptfs: add skb-fragment sharing code")

v2: move SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG assignment inside the loop, immediately after
__skb_frag_ref()/nr_frags++, to also cover the early-return path
that fires when the requested length is satisfied mid-frag (pointed
out by maintainer review of v1).
