xsk: Fix crash on double free in buffer pool
Fix a crash in the buffer pool allocator when a buffer is double freed. It is possible to trigger this behavior not only from a faulty driver, but also from user space like this: Create a zero-copy AF_XDP socket. Load an XDP program that will issue XDP_DROP for all packets. Put the same umem buffer into the fill ring multiple times, then bind the socket and send some traffic. This will crash the kernel as the XDP_DROP action triggers one call to xsk_buff_free()/xp_free() for every packet dropped. Each call will add the corresponding buffer entry to the free_list and increase the free_list_cnt. Some entries will have been added multiple times due to the same buffer being freed. The buffer allocation code will then traverse this broken list and since the same buffer is in the list multiple times, it will try to delete the same buffer twice from the list leading to a crash. The fix for this is just to test that the buffer has not been added before in xp_free(). If it has been, just return from the function and do not put it in the free_list a second time. Note that this bug was not present in the code before the commit referenced in the Fixes tag. That code used one list entry per allocated buffer, so multiple frees did not have any side effects. But the commit below optimized the usage of the pool and only uses a single entry per buffer in the umem, meaning that multiple allocations/frees of the same buffer will also only use one entry, thus leading to the problem.
