__ip_append_data() can get into an infinite loop when asked to splice into
a partially-built UDP message that has more than the frag-limit data and up
to the MTU limit. Something like:
pipe(pfd);
sfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
connect(sfd, ...);
send(sfd, buffer, 8161, MSG_CONFIRM|MSG_MORE);
write(pfd[1], buffer, 8);
splice(pfd[0], 0, sfd, 0, 0x4ffe0ul, 0);
where the amount of data given to send() is dependent on the MTU size (in
this instance an interface with an MTU of 8192).
The problem is that the calculation of the amount to copy in
__ip_append_data() goes negative in two places, and, in the second place,
this gets subtracted from the length remaining, thereby increasing it.
This happens when pagedlen > 0 (which happens for MSG_ZEROCOPY and
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES), the terms in:
copy = datalen - transhdrlen - fraggap - pagedlen;
then mostly cancel when pagedlen is substituted for, leaving just -fraggap.
This causes:
length -= copy + transhdrlen;
to increase the length to more than the amount of data in msg->msg_iter,
which causes skb_splice_from_iter() to be unable to fill the request and it
returns less than 'copied' - which means that length never gets to 0 and we
never exit the loop.
Fix this by:
(1) Insert a note about the dodgy calculation of 'copy'.
(2) If MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, clear copy if it is negative from the above
equation, so that 'offset' isn't regressed and 'length' isn't
increased, which will mean that length and thus copy should match the
amount left in the iterator.
(3) When handling MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, give a warning and return -EIO if
we're asked to splice more than is in the iterator. It might be
better to not give the warning or even just give a 'short' write.
The same problem occurs in __ip6_append_data(), except that there's a check
in there that errors out with EINVAL if copy < 0. Fix this function in
much the same way as the ipv4 variant but also skip the erroring out if
copy < 0.
[!] Note that this ought to also affect MSG_ZEROCOPY, but MSG_ZEROCOPY
avoids the problem by simply assuming that everything asked for got copied,
not just the amount that was in the iterator. This is a potential bug for
the future.

I don't think the two should be combined.
Removing that branch actually opens up to new bugs, e.g., in MSG_ZEROCOPY.
Since the ipv6 stack is not subject to this bug in MSG_SPLICE_PAGES,
I think v1 on its own is correct, and has the right Fixes tag.
If we think this IPv6 branch is mistaken and a bug, then that would
have a different Fixes tag, going back to ancient history. But arguably
safer to limit that net-next, if touching that at all.
It makes sense to update MSG_SPLICE_PAGES in the IPv6 path to be
equivalent to the IPv4 path, and to be correct if that branch is
ever removed.
