Subject: [PATCH 1/1 v2] skbuff: Fix a potential race while recycling page_pool packets
Date:   Fri,  9 Jul 2021 09:29:39 +0300
Message-Id: <20210709062943.101532-1-ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org>

As Alexander points out, when we are trying to recycle a cloned/expanded
SKB we might trigger a race.  The recycling code relies on the
pp_recycle bit to trigger,  which we carry over to cloned SKBs.
If that cloned SKB gets expanded or if we get references to the frags,
call skbb_release_data() and overwrite skb->head, we are creating separate
instances accessing the same page frags.  Since the skb_release_data()
will first try to recycle the frags,  there's a potential race between
the original and cloned SKB, since both will have the pp_recycle bit set.

Fix this by explicitly those SKBs not recyclable.
The atomic_sub_return effectively limits us to a single release case,
and when we are calling skb_release_data we are also releasing the
option to perform the recycling, or releasing the pages from the page pool.

Fixes: 6a5bcd84e886 ("page_pool: Allow drivers to hint on SKB recycling")

Changes since v1:
- Set the recycle bit to 0 during skb_release_data instead of the 
  individual fucntions triggering the issue, in order to catch all 
  cases
