From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fb7861d14c8d7edac65b2fcb6e8031cb138457b2 ] In the current code, ->ndo_start_xmit() can be executed recursively only 10 times because of stack memory. But, in the case of the vxlan, 10 recursion limit value results in a stack overflow. In the current code, the nested interface is limited by 8 depth. There is no critical reason that the recursion limitation value should be 10. So, it would be good to be the same value with the limitation value of nesting interface depth. Test commands: ip link add vxlan10 type vxlan vni 10 dstport 4789 srcport 4789 4789 ip link set vxlan10 up ip a a 192.168.10.1/24 dev vxlan10 ip n a 192.168.10.2 dev vxlan10 lladdr fc:22:33:44:55:66 nud permanent for i in {9..0} do let A=$i+1 ip link add vxlan$i type vxlan vni $i dstport 4789 srcport 4789 4789 ip link set vxlan$i up ip a a 192.168.$i.1/24 dev vxlan$i ip n a 192.168.$i.2 dev vxlan$i lladdr fc:22:33:44:55:66 nud permanent bridge fdb add fc:22:33:44:55:66 dev vxlan$A dst 192.168.$i.2 self done hping3 192.168.10.2 -2 -d 60000 Splat looks like: [ 103.814237][ T1127] ============================================================================= [ 103.871955][ T1127] BUG kmalloc-2k (Tainted: G B ): Padding overwritten. 0x00000000897a2e4f-0x000 [ 103.873187][ T1127] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ 103.873187][ T1127] [ 103.874252][ T1127] INFO: Slab 0x000000005cccc724 objects=5 used=5 fp=0x0000000000000000 flags=0x10000000001020 [ 103.881323][ T1127] CPU: 3 PID: 1127 Comm: hping3 Tainted: G B 5.7.0+ #575 [ 103.882131][ T1127] Hardware name: innotek GmbH VirtualBox/VirtualBox, BIOS VirtualBox 12/01/2006 [ 103.883006][ T1127] Call Trace: [ 103.883324][ T1127] dump_stack+0x96/0xdb [ 103.883716][ T1127] slab_err+0xad/0xd0 [ 103.884106][ T1127] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x1f/0x30 [ 103.884620][ T1127] ? get_partial_node.isra.78+0x140/0x360 [ 103.885214][ T1127] slab_pad_check.part.53+0xf7/0x160 [ 103.885769][ T1127] ? pskb_expand_head+0x110/0xe10 [ 103.886316][ T1127] check_slab+0x97/0xb0 [ 103.886763][ T1127] alloc_debug_processing+0x84/0x1a0 [ 103.887308][ T1127] ___slab_alloc+0x5a5/0x630 [ 103.887765][ T1127] ? pskb_expand_head+0x110/0xe10 [ 103.888265][ T1127] ? lock_downgrade+0x730/0x730 [ 103.888762][ T1127] ? pskb_expand_head+0x110/0xe10 [ 103.889244][ T1127] ? __slab_alloc+0x3e/0x80 [ 103.889675][ T1127] __slab_alloc+0x3e/0x80 [ 103.890108][ T1127] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0xc7/0x420 [ ... ] Fixes: 11a766ce915f ("net: Increase xmit RECURSION_LIMIT to 10.")
