Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: Fix page double free in test_bpf skb setup
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:38:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917023834.2760055-1-main.kalliope@gmail.com> (raw)
build_test_skb() transfers page ownership to an skb with
skb_add_rx_frag(). If either allocation in the second loop iteration fails,
kfree_skb() releases page[0], but the error path then falls through and
frees page[0] again.
Return after freeing skb[0], since page[0] is already owned by the skb at
that point; the raw page cleanup is only correct for the first iteration.
Fixes: 76db8087c4c9 ("net: bpf: add a test for skb_segment in test_bpf module")
Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-6-astra

Please queue this fix for stable. The double-free has been present since
v4.17 and is reachable when the test_bpf skb test encounters an allocation
failure.
A separate bpf-next patch allowing TEST_BPF=y depends on this fix and will
be posted after this patch.
