Subject: [PATCH net] net/packet: check TX_RING fragments before memory accounting
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 19:14:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028181450.2221013-1-edumazet@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Kyle Zeng <kylebot@openai.com>

tpacket_fill_skb() adds the full non-linear payload length to
skb->truesize and sk_wmem_alloc before checking MAX_SKB_FRAGS. With
PACKET_VNET_HDR, userspace can submit a ring-sized frame even when it
greatly exceeds the device MTU.

A near-INT_MAX frame can saturate sk_wmem_alloc before the fragment
loop rejects it. A subsequent refcount_add(0x40000001) can temporarily
turn REFCOUNT_SATURATED into 1. A concurrent TX completion can then
drop that apparent last reference and free the still-live packet
socket before refcount_warn_saturate() restores the counter.

Check that the remaining payload fits in MAX_SKB_FRAGS pages before
accounting it. Include the initial page offset in the calculation,
and move the existing -EFAULT handling out of the fragment loop.
This preserves the accepted packet sizes and error code while
preventing an invalid frame from injecting an oversized byte charge.
