Subject: [PATCH net v1 3/3] net: hibmcge: fix double-free of tx skb on DMA mapping failure
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 17:05:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710090527.58354-4-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710090527.58354-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
If hbg_dma_map() fails, hbg_net_start_xmit() frees the skb, but buffer->skb
is left pointing to it. ring->ntu is not advanced, so the buffer is not
visible to the TX cleanup path.
A subsequent transmit normally overwrites the buffer. However, if the
interface is brought down first, hbg_ring_uninit() calls hbg_buffer_free().
It sees the stale pointer, attempts to unmap the failed mapping, and frees
the skb again.
Clear buffer->skb before freeing the skb in the error path, preventing
hbg_buffer_free() from treating it as an outstanding TX buffer.
Fixes: 40735e7543f9 ("net: hibmcge: Implement .ndo_start_xmit function")
