Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: use skb_share_check() in loopback selftest hooks
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2026 20:29:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007-nb-net-selftest-shared-net-v1-0-458369bfa1ba@tipi-net.de> (raw)
The loopback selftest hooks can get a shared skb when another handler
is bound to the device. Linearizing a non-linear frame then hits
BUG_ON(skb_shared()) in pskb_expand_head().
Stumbled over this on RPi CM4 (bcmgenet, with jumbo series applied +
WIP selftest patches) with a packet socket open at the same time as
running ethtool -t.
stmmac and mlx5 seem to have the same pattern, xgbe already handles
shared skbs. Patches 2 and 3 are compile tested only.
As the impact is pretty limited and doesn't seem to bother anyone in
the wild, I've chosen net-next, but kept the Fixes tags. That matches
what Paolo suggested during the LPC track.
