xen-netfront: do not assume sk_buff_head list is empty in error handling
When skb_shinfo(skb) is not able to cache extra fragment (that is, skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags >= MAX_SKB_FRAGS), xennet_fill_frags() assumes the sk_buff_head list is already empty. As a result, cons is increased only by 1 and returns to error handling path in xennet_poll(). However, if the sk_buff_head list is not empty, queue->rx.rsp_cons may be set incorrectly. That is, queue->rx.rsp_cons would point to the rx ring buffer entries whose queue->rx_skbs[i] and queue->grant_rx_ref[i] are already cleared to NULL. This leads to NULL pointer access in the next iteration to process rx ring buffer entries. Below is how xennet_poll() does error handling. All remaining entries in tmpq are accounted to queue->rx.rsp_cons without assuming how many outstanding skbs are remained in the list. 985 static int xennet_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) ... ... 1032 if (unlikely(xennet_set_skb_gso(skb, gso))) { 1033 __skb_queue_head(&tmpq, skb); 1034 queue->rx.rsp_cons += skb_queue_len(&tmpq); 1035 goto err; 1036 } It is better to always have the error handling in the same way.
