[PATCH] skbuff: suppress clang object-size-mismatch error

From: Tadeusz Struk
Date: Wed Nov 10 2021 - 19:36:34 EST


Kernel throws a runtime object-size-mismatch error in skbuff queue
helpers like in [1]. This happens every time there is a pattern
like the below:

int skbuf_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
struct sk_buff_head list;

__skb_queue_head_init(&list);
__skb_queue_tail(&list, skb); <-- offending call

return do_xmit(net, &list);
}

and the kernel is build with clang and -fsanitize=undefined flag set.
The reason is that the functions __skb_queue_[tail|head]() access the
struct sk_buff_head object via a pointer to struct sk_buff, which is
much bigger in size than the sk_buff_head. This could cause undefined
behavior and clang is complaining:

UBSAN: object-size-mismatch in ./include/linux/skbuff.h:2023:28
member access within address ffffc90000cb71c0 with insufficient space
for an object of type 'struct sk_buff'

Suppress the error with __attribute__((no_sanitize("undefined")))
in the skb helpers.
