bpf: Explicitly check accesses to bpf_sock_addr

2025-10-15T10:00:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6fabca2fc94d33cdf7ec102058983b086293395f ] Syzkaller found a kernel warning on the following sock_addr program: 0: r0 = 0 1: r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 +60) 2: exit which triggers: verifier bug: error during ctx access conversion (0) This is happening because offset 60 in bpf_sock_addr corresponds to an implicit padding of 4 bytes, right after msg_src_ip4. Access to this padding isn't rejected in sock_addr_is_valid_access and it thus later fails to convert the access. This patch fixes it by explicitly checking the various fields of bpf_sock_addr in sock_addr_is_valid_access. I checked the other ctx structures and is_valid_access functions and didn't find any other similar cases. Other cases of (properly handled) padding are covered in new tests in a subsequent patch.

net: allow alloc_skb_with_frags() to use MAX_SKB_FRAGS

2025-10-02T11:44:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit ca9f9cdc4de97d0221100b11224738416696163c ] Currently, alloc_skb_with_frags() will only fill (MAX_SKB_FRAGS - 1) slots. I think it should use all MAX_SKB_FRAGS slots, as callers of alloc_skb_with_frags() will size their allocation of frags based on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This issue was discovered via a test patch that sets 'order' to 0 in alloc_skb_with_frags(), which effectively tests/simulates high fragmentation. In this case sendmsg() on unix sockets will fail every time for large allocations. If the PAGE_SIZE is 4K, then data_len will request 68K or 17 pages, but alloc_skb_with_frags() can only allocate 64K in this case or 16 pages.

net: gso: Forbid IPv6 TSO with extensions on devices with only IPV6_CSUM

2025-08-28T14:31:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 864e3396976ef41de6cc7bc366276bf4e084fff2 ] When performing Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) on an IPv6 packet that contains extension headers, the kernel incorrectly requests checksum offload if the egress device only advertises NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM feature, which has a strict contract: it supports checksum offload only for plain TCP or UDP over IPv6 and explicitly does not support packets with extension headers. The current GSO logic violates this contract by failing to disable the feature for packets with extension headers, such as those used in GREoIPv6 tunnels. This violation results in the device being asked to perform an operation it cannot support, leading to a `skb_warn_bad_offload` warning and a collapse of network throughput. While device TSO/USO is correctly bypassed in favor of software GSO for these packets, the GSO stack must be explicitly told not to request checksum offload. Mask NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, NETIF_F_TSO6 and NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 in gso_features_check if the IPv6 header contains extension headers to compute checksum in software. The exception is a BIG TCP extension, which, as stated in commit 68e068cabd2c6c53 ("net: reenable NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM offload for BIG TCP packets"): "The feature is only enabled on devices that support BIG TCP TSO. The header is only present for PF_PACKET taps like tcpdump, and not transmitted by physical devices." kernel log output (truncated): WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5273 at net/core/dev.c:3535 skb_warn_bad_offload+0x81/0x140 ...

netpoll: prevent hanging NAPI when netcons gets enabled

2025-08-15T10:14:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2da4def0f487f24bbb0cece3bb2bcdcb918a0b72 ] Paolo spotted hangs in NIPA running driver tests against virtio. The tests hang in virtnet_close() -> virtnet_napi_tx_disable(). The problem is only reproducible if running multiple of our tests in sequence (I used TEST_PROGS="xdp.py ping.py netcons_basic.sh \ netpoll_basic.py stats.py"). Initial suspicion was that this is a simple case of double-disable of NAPI, but instrumenting the code reveals: Deadlocked on NAPI ffff888007cd82c0 (virtnet_poll_tx): state: 0x37, disabled: false, owner: 0, listed: false, weight: 64 The NAPI was not in fact disabled, owner is 0 (rather than -1), so the NAPI "thinks" it's scheduled for CPU 0 but it's not listed (!list_empty(&n->poll_list) => false). It seems odd that normal NAPI processing would wedge itself like this. Better suspicion is that netpoll gets enabled while NAPI is polling, and also grabs the NAPI instance. This confuses napi_complete_done(): [netpoll] [normal NAPI] napi_poll() have = netpoll_poll_lock() rcu_access_pointer(dev->npinfo) return NULL # no netpoll __napi_poll() ->poll(->weight) poll_napi() cmpxchg(->poll_owner, -1, cpu) poll_one_napi() set_bit(NAPI_STATE_NPSVC, ->state) napi_complete_done() if (NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC) return false # exit without clearing SCHED This feels very unlikely, but perhaps virtio has some interactions with the hypervisor in the NAPI ->poll that makes the race window larger? Best I could to to prove the theory was to add and trigger this warning in napi_poll (just before netpoll_poll_unlock()): WARN_ONCE(!have && rcu_access_pointer(n->dev->npinfo) && napi_is_scheduled(n) && list_empty(&n->poll_list), "NAPI race with netpoll %px", n); If this warning hits the next virtio_close() will hang. This patch survived 30 test iterations without a hang (without it the longest clean run was around 10). Credit for triggering this goes to Breno's recent netconsole tests.
