[PATCH net] net: dsa: ksz: don't pad a cloned sk_buff

From: Christian Eggers
Date: Fri Oct 16 2020 - 03:36:26 EST


If the supplied sk_buff is cloned (e.g. in dsa_skb_tx_timestamp()),
__skb_put_padto() will allocate a new sk_buff with size = skb->len +
padlen. So the condition just tested for (skb_tailroom(skb) >= padlen +
len) is not fulfilled anymore. Although the real size will usually be
larger than skb->len + padlen (due to alignment), there is no guarantee
that the required memory for the tail tag will be available

Instead of letting __skb_put_padto allocate a new (too small) sk_buff,
lets take the already existing path and allocate a new sk_buff ourself
(with sufficient size).

Fixes: 8b8010fb7876 ("dsa: add support for Microchip KSZ tail tagging")

I am not sure whether this is a problem for current kernels (it depends
whether cloned sk_buffs can happen on any paths). But when adding time
stamping (will be submitted soon), this will become an issue.

This patch supersedes "net: dsa: ksz: fix padding size of skb" from
yesterday.
