Subject: [PATCH 0/2] net: isolate SKB data area allocations
Date: Tue,  2 Jun 2026 19:31:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602183122.747759-1-pfalcato@suse.de> (raw)

This is a rather simple series that attempts to address a possible
exploitation avenue - the allocation of skbs around the network stack, which
frequently get user-controlled contents. Found while doing some amateur
exploitation analysis for some other issue, elsewhere.

Patch 0 is a precursor patch that adds a slab allocation helper, patch 1
does the actual bucketing.
I don't know what tree should pick this up, so I just based this on linux-next.

Pedro Falcato (2):
  mm/slab: add a node-track-caller variant for kmem buckets allocation
  net: skb: isolate skb data area allocations into a separate bucket
