[PATCH 3.13] core, nfqueue, openvswitch: Orphan frags in skb_zerocopy and handle errors

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Tue Apr 22 2014 - 15:18:46 EST


From: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 36d5fe6a000790f56039afe26834265db0a3ad4c upstream.

skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't
orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that
as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to
the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the
skb.

[bwh: Backported to 3.13: skb_zerocopy() is new in 3.14, but was moved from a
static function in nfnetlink_queue. We need to patch that and its caller, but
not openvswitch.]

Sorry for mixing these up. I believe this bug has been present since
zerocopy was added to nfqueue in Linux 3.10 (commit ae08ce002108). This
is the version I used for Debian's 3.13 branch, which might be usable
for older stable branches too.

Ben.
