This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xsk: Fix generic transmit when completion queue reservation fails to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: xsk-fix-generic-transmit-when-completion-queue-reser.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a6931b4b5042348aec9f037e8ee85f2473997a64 Author: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 14 07:07:46 2022 +0000 xsk: Fix generic transmit when completion queue reservation fails [ Upstream commit a6e944f25cdbe6b82275402b8bc9a55ad7aac10b ] Two points of potential failure in the generic transmit function are: 1. completion queue (cq) reservation failure. 2. skb allocation failure Originally the cq reservation was performed first, followed by the skb allocation. Commit 675716400da6 ("xdp: fix possible cq entry leak") reversed the order because at the time there was no mechanism available to undo the cq reservation which could have led to possible cq entry leaks in the event of skb allocation failure. However if the skb allocation is performed first and the cq reservation then fails, the xsk skb destructor is called which blindly adds the skb address to the already full cq leading to undefined behavior. This commit restores the original order (cq reservation followed by skb allocation) and uses the xskq_prod_cancel helper to undo the cq reserve in event of skb allocation failure.
