3 Subject: [PATCH] skbuff: Fix a race between coalescing and releasing SKBs
5 Commit 1effe8ca4e34 ("skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment
6 recycling") allowed coalescing to proceed with non page pool page and page
7 pool page when @from is cloned, i.e.
9 to->pp_recycle --> false
10 from->pp_recycle --> true
11 skb_cloned(from) --> true
13 However, it actually requires skb_cloned(@from) to hold true until
14 coalescing finishes in this situation. If the other cloned SKB is
15 released while the merging is in process, from_shinfo->nr_frags will be
16 set to 0 toward the end of the function, causing the increment of frag
17 page _refcount to be unexpectedly skipped resulting in inconsistent
18 reference counts. Later when SKB(@to) is released, it frees the page
19 directly even though the page pool page is still in use, leading to
20 use-after-free or double-free errors. So it should be prohibited.
22 The double-free error message below prompted us to investigate:
