This fixes ice/i40e/ixgbe/ixgbevf_rx_buffer_flip in
copy mode xdp that can lead to data corruption.

I split two patches, since i40e/xgbe/ixgbevf supports xsk
receiving from 4.18, put their fixes in a patch


Li, sorry for the looong latency. I took a looong vacation. :-P

Thanks for taking a look at this, but I believe this is not a bug.


Ok, dug a bit more into this. I had an offlist discussion with Li, and
there are two places (AFAIK) where Li experience a BUG() in
tcp_collapse():

             BUG_ON(offset < 0);
and
                 if (skb_copy_bits(skb, offset, skb_put(nskb, size), size))
                     BUG();

(Li, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I still claim that the page-flipping mechanism is correct, but I found
some weirdness in the build_skb() call.

In drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c, build_skb() is invoked as:
     skb = build_skb(xdp->data_hard_start, truesize);

For the setup Li has truesize is 2048 (half a page), but the
rx_buf_len is 1536. In the driver a packet is layed out as:

| padding 192 | packet data 1536 | skb shared info 320 |

build_skb() assumes that the second argument (frag_size) is max packet
size + SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)). In other words,
frag_size should not include the padding (192 above). In build_skb(),

Not sure I am buying that reasoning. It assumes the padding + packet_data
and we use skb_reserve() to tell the skb about the padding.

__build_skb_around() subtracts sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) from size
that we are providing, so now we are with padding + packet_data.
Then it is used to calculate the skb->end.

Back to i40e_build_skb(), we use the skb_reserve() to advance the
skb->data and skb->tail so that they point to packet_data. Finally
__skb_put() will move the skb->tail to the end of packet_data.

Wouldn't your approach disallow having the headroom at all in the linear
part of skb?


Mea culpa.

You're perfectly right, and I'm all wrong. Thanks for sorting that out. xdp->data_hard_start messed up my neurons (if any one should ask).

Sorry for the mail noise,
