We received a report[1] of kernel crashes when Cilium is used in XDP mode with virtio_net after updating to newer kernels. After investigating the reason it turned out that when using mergeable bufs with an XDP program which adjusts xdp.data or xdp.data_meta page_to_buf() calculates the build_skb address wrong because the offset can become less than the headroom so it gets the address of the previous page (-X bytes depending on how lower offset is): page_to_skb: page addr ffff9eb2923e2000 buf ffff9eb2923e1ffc offset 252 headroom 256
This is a pr_err() I added in the beginning of page_to_skb which clearly shows offset that is less than headroom by adding 4 bytes of metadata via an xdp prog. The calculations done are: receive_mergeable(): headroom = VIRTIO_XDP_HEADROOM; // VIRTIO_XDP_HEADROOM == 256 bytes offset = xdp.data - page_address(xdp_page) - vi->hdr_len - metasize;
page_to_skb(): p = page_address(page) + offset; ... buf = p - headroom;
Now buf goes -4 bytes from the page's starting address as can be seen above which is set as skb->head and skb->data by build_skb later. Depending on what's done with the skb (when it's freed most often) we get all kinds of corruptions and BUG_ON() triggers in mm[2]. The story of the faulty commit is interesting because the patch was sent and applied twice (it seems the first one got lost during merge back in 5.13 window). The first version of the patch that was applied as: commit 7bf64460e3b2 ("virtio-net: get build_skb() buf by data ptr") was actually correct because it calculated the page starting address without relying on offset or headroom, but then the second version that was applied as: commit 8fb7da9e9907 ("virtio_net: get build_skb() buf by data ptr") was wrong and added the above calculation. An example xdp prog[3] is below.
