[ Upstream commit 7ec318feeed10a64c0359ec4d10889cb4defa39a ]

When a GSO skb of truesize O is segmented into 2 new skbs of truesize N1 and N2, we want to transfer socket ownership to the new fresh skbs.

In order to avoid expensive atomic operations on a cache line subject to cache bouncing, we replace the sequence :

refcount_add(N1, &sk->sk_wmem_alloc); refcount_add(N2, &sk->sk_wmem_alloc); // repeated by number of segments

refcount_sub(O, &sk->sk_wmem_alloc);

by a single

refcount_add(sum_of(N) - O, &sk->sk_wmem_alloc);

Problem is :

In some pathological cases, sum(N) - O might be a negative number, and syzkaller bot was apparently able to trigger this trace [1]

atomic_t was ok with this construct, but we need to take care of the negative delta with refcount_t
