[PATCH net v2 0/3] virtio-net: fixes for mergeable XDP receive path

[PATCH net v2 0/3] virtio-net: fixes for mergeable XDP receive path

[Bui Quang Minh]

Hi everyone,

This series contains fixes for XDP receive path in virtio-net
- Patch 1: add a missing check for the received data length with our
allocated buffer size in mergeable mode.
- Patch 2: remove a redundant truesize check with PAGE_SIZE in mergeable
mode
- Patch 3: make the current repeated code use the check_mergeable_len to
check for received data length in mergeable mode

Version 2 changes:
- Move the check_mergeable_len helper definition to the patch 1.
- Remove patch 4.

Thanks,
Quang Minh.

Bui Quang Minh (3):
  virtio-net: ensure the received length does not exceed allocated size
  virtio-net: remove redundant truesize check with PAGE_SIZE
  virtio-net: use the check_mergeable_len helper

[PATCH net v2 1/3] virtio-net: ensure the received length does not exceed allocated size

[Bui Quang Minh]

In xdp_linearize_page, when reading the following buffers from the ring,
we forget to check the received length with the true allocate size. This
can lead to an out-of-bound read. This commit adds that missing check.

[PATCH net v2 2/3] virtio-net: remove redundant truesize check with PAGE_SIZE

[Bui Quang Minh]

The truesize is guaranteed not to exceed PAGE_SIZE in
get_mergeable_buf_len(). It is saved in mergeable context, which is not
changeable by the host side, so the check in receive path is quite
redundant.
