Subject: [PATCH net 8/9] batman-adv: mcast: linearize skbuff for packet generation
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 11:48:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821094813.201800-9-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821094813.201800-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_mcast_forw_packet() and batadv_mcast_forw_scrape() is not only
called (indirectly) by the unsharing+linearizing batadv_recv_mcast_packet()
handler. When it is called (indirectly) by batadv_mcast_forw_mcsend() then
it will be unshared but not linearized. The SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT() can
therefore cause a fatal BUG().

The linearization should happen during the expansion of the head because
the scrape function can be hit already during the initial
batadv_mcast_forw_mode() selection code:

* batadv_interface_tx
* batadv_mcast_forw_mode
* batadv_mcast_forw_mode_by_count()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push()
  -> calls batadv_mcast_forw_expand_head() before everything else
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_tvlvs()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_dests()
* batadv_mcast_forw_push_adjust_padding()
* batadv_mcast_forw_scrape()
