The problem is in the pppoe_recvmsg() function that handles errors in the wrong order. For the skb_recv_datagram() function, check the pointer to skb for NULL first, and then check the 'error' variable, because the skb_recv_datagram() function can set 'error' to -EAGAIN in a loop but return a correct pointer to socket buffer after a number of attempts, though 'error' remains set to -EAGAIN. skb_recv_datagram __skb_recv_datagram // Loop. if (err == -EAGAIN) then // go to the next loop iteration __skb_try_recv_datagram // if (skb != NULL) then return 'skb' // else if a signal is received then // return -EAGAIN Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
