Subject: [PATCH 02/16] NTB: ntb_transport: Reject oversized TX buffers
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 01:51:21 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810165136.2292436-3-den@valinux.co.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810165136.2292436-1-den@valinux.co.jp>

ntb_process_tx() handles an oversized buffer by calling tx_handler()
with a NULL data pointer, returning the queue entry to tx_free_q, and
returning success. ntb_netdev therefore neither frees the skb from the
callback nor takes its enqueue error path, leaking it.

Return -EMSGSIZE instead. ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() puts the acquired
queue entry back on tx_free_q when ntb_process_tx() fails, while the
caller retains ownership of the rejected buffer.

Fixes: fce8a7bb5b4b ("PCI-Express Non-Transparent Bridge Support")
