[PATCH net v1] net: Fix tuntap uninitialized value
From: Jiayuan Chen
Date: Thu Mar 27 2025 - 09:44:05 EST
Then tun/tap allocates an skb, it additionally allocates a prepad size
(usually equal to NET_SKB_PAD) but leaves it uninitialized.
bpf_xdp_adjust_head() may move skb->data forward, which may lead to an
issue.
Since the linear address is likely to be allocated from kmem_cache, it's
unlikely to trigger a KMSAN warning. We need some tricks, such as forcing
kmem_cache_shrink in __do_kmalloc_node, to reproduce the issue and trigger
a KMSAN warning.
