Subject: [PATCH bpf v3 1/2] bpf, veth: xdp: fix page_pool page leak on skb-backed XDP
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:56:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911135711.109338-2-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911135711.109338-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>

bpf_xdp_shrink_data() frees a released frag via __xdp_return() using
xdp->rxq->mem.type, but that type is wrong for skb-backed XDP: the skb is
cow'd into page_pool memory while the rxq still says MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED,
so the page_pool page is freed with page_frag_free() and we hit
"Bad page state ... page_pool leak".

Both generic XDP and veth are affected. A non-linear skb is cow'd into
page_pool memory (skb_cow_data_for_xdp() -> skb_pp_cow_data() for generic
XDP, veth_convert_skb_to_xdp_buff() for veth), so its frags become
page_pool pages while the rxq keeps MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED.

We can't just fix rxq->mem.type in place:
- generic XDP: xdp->rxq is dev->_rx[queue].xdp_rxq (see
  bpf_prog_run_generic_xdp()), a shared rxq that other CPUs may access in
  parallel, so we must not write to it.
- veth: rq->xdp_rxq.mem is shared per-queue state that veth resets on XDP
  teardown, and with GRO that reset runs without stopping in-flight NAPI,
  so a type stashed there can be clobbered under a packet still in flight.

Adding a check in __xdp_return() or bpf_xdp_shrink_data() itself is not an
option either: without recording it somewhere, both can only guess the
frag's memory type, which quickly gets confusing.

So record it in the xdp_buff. A dedicated mem_type field (mirroring
xdp_frame->mem_type) would read more naturally, but it grows xdp_buff, and
struct xdp_page_head embeds two of them, which shifts the layout the
xdp_do_redirect live-frames selftest hard-codes (MAX_PKT_SIZE). So use a
flag bit: add XDP_FLAGS_FRAGS_PAGE_POOL, the two skb-cow sites set it, and
bpf_xdp_shrink_data() frees the frag to the page_pool when it is set,
otherwise it keeps falling back to xdp->rxq->mem.type unchanged.

The flag describes the buff, so the buff <-> frame conversions have to keep
it consistent:
- buff -> frame: xdp_update_frame_from_buff() copies xdp->flags into the
  frame. veth XDP_TX/XDP_REDIRECT hand the frame to the peer, and cpumap
  and devmap run a second program on it, so the peer would inherit a stale
  tag; strip it, an xdp_frame describes its memory with ::mem_type.
- frame -> buff: xdp_convert_frame_to_buff() rebuilds a buff, and veth and
  devmap then run a program whose rxq says MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED even for a
  page_pool frame (only cpumap copies mem_type into the rxq). A shrink
  there leaks the same way (this predates the series: bpf_xdp_adjust_tail()
  frees frags by rxq->mem.type), so re-derive the flag from the frame's
  ::mem_type.

Fixes: e6d5dbdd20aa ("xdp: add multi-buff support for xdp running in generic mode")
Fixes: 0ebab78cbcbf ("net: veth: add page_pool for page recycling")
Fixes: bf25146a5595 ("bpf: add frags support to the bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() API")
