This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xsk: Free skb when TX metadata options are invalid to the 6.11-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-free-skb-when-tx-metadata-options-are-invalid.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bf97eefca50e73579da7a11d2b6657eabaa68869 Author: Felix Maurer <fmaurer@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 14 12:30:05 2024 +0100 xsk: Free skb when TX metadata options are invalid [ Upstream commit 0c0d0f42ffa6ac94cd79893b7ed419c15e1b45de ] When a new skb is allocated for transmitting an xsk descriptor, i.e., for every non-multibuf descriptor or the first frag of a multibuf descriptor, but the descriptor is later found to have invalid options set for the TX metadata, the new skb is never freed. This can leak skbs until the send buffer is full which makes sending more packets impossible. Fix this by freeing the skb in the error path if we are currently dealing with the first frag, i.e., an skb allocated in this iteration of xsk_build_skb.
