Subject: Re: [PATCH net v2 2/8] xsk: handle NULL dereference of the skb without frags issue
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:34:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <519af099662f2b79eb95ceaabc7f7069.sdf.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)

> When a first descriptor (xs->skb == NULL) triggers -EOVERFLOW in
> xsk_build_skb_zerocopy (e.g., MAX_SKB_FRAGS exceeded), the free_err
> EOVERFLOW handler unconditionally dereferences xs->skb via
> xsk_inc_num_desc(xs->skb) and xsk_drop_skb(xs->skb), causing a NULL
> pointer dereference.
> 
> In this series, the skb is already freed by kfree_skb() inside
> xsk_build_skb_zerocopy for the first-descriptor case, so we only need
> to do the bookkeeping: cancel the one reserved CQ slot and account for
> the single invalid descriptor.
> 
> Guard the existing xsk_inc_num_desc/xsk_drop_skb calls with an
> xs->skb check (for the continuation case), and add an else branch
> for the first-descriptor case that manually cancels the CQ slot and
> increments invalid_descs by one.

> Fixes: cf24f5a5feea ("xsk: add support for AF_XDP multi-buffer on Tx path")
