From 9dc829a135fb5927f1519de11286e2bbb79f5b66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xie He Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2020 17:45:21 -0700 Subject: drivers/net/wan/lapbether: Fixed the value of hard_header_len When this driver transmits data, first this driver will remove a pseudo header of 1 byte, then the lapb module will prepend the LAPB header of 2 or 3 bytes, then this driver will prepend a length field of 2 bytes, then the underlying Ethernet device will prepend its own header. So, the header length required should be: -1 + 3 + 2 + "the header length needed by the underlying device". This patch fixes kernel panic when this driver is used with AF_PACKET SOCK_DGRAM sockets.

But in both drivers, kfree_skb is not called. 2) skb_cow should be called before skb_push so that is can ensure the safety of skb_push. But in "lapbether", it is incorrectly called after skb_push. More details about these 2 issues: 1) The behavior of calling kfree_skb on failure is also the behavior of netif_rx, which is called by this function with "return netif_rx(skb);". So this function should follow this behavior, too. 2) In "lapbether", skb_cow is called after skb_push. This results in 2 logical issues: a) skb_push is not protected by skb_cow; b) An extra headroom of 1 byte is ensured after skb_push. This extra headroom has no use in this function. It also has no use in the upper-layer function that this function passes the skb to (x25_lapb_receive_frame in net/x25/x25_dev.c). So logically skb_cow should instead be called before skb_push.
