[PATCH net v4 2/2] octeon_ep: Add SKB allocation failures handling in __octep_oq_process_rx()

From: Aleksandr Mishin
Date: Sat Oct 12 2024 - 05:56:29 EST


build_skb() returns NULL in case of a memory allocation failure so handle
it inside __octep_oq_process_rx() to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

__octep_oq_process_rx() is called during NAPI polling by the driver. If
skb allocation fails, keep on pulling packets out of the Rx DMA queue: we
shouldn't break the polling immediately and thus falsely indicate to the
octep_napi_poll() that the Rx pressure is going down. As there is no
associated skb in this case, don't process the packets and don't push them
up the network stack - they are skipped.

Helper function is implemented to unmmap/flush all the fragment buffers
used by the dropped packet. 'alloc_failures' counter is incremented to
mark the skb allocation error in driver statistics.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Compile tested only.

v4:
- Split patch up as suggested by Jakub
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241004073311.223efca4@xxxxxxxxxx/)
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240930053328.9618-1-amishin@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Optimize helper as suggested by Paolo
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/b9ae8575-f903-425f-aa42-0c2a7605aa94@xxxxxxxxxx/)
- v3 has been reviewed-by Simon Horman
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240930162622.GF1310185@xxxxxxxxxx/)
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240916060212.12393-1-amishin@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Implement helper instead of adding multiple checks for '!skb' and
remove 'rx_bytes' increasing in case of packet dropping as suggested
by Paolo
