net: Prevent invalid access to skb->prev in __qdisc_drop_all
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There are places in the stack, where we access skb->prev directly and
modify it. Namely, __qdisc_drop_all().

With commit 68d2f84 ("net: gro: properly remove skb from list")
the skb-list handling has been changed to set skb->next to NULL and set
the list-poison on skb->prev.

With that change, __qdisc_drop_all() will panic when it tries to
dereference skb->prev.

Since commit 992cba7 ("net: Add and use skb_list_del_init().")
__list_del_entry is used, leaving skb->prev unchanged (thus,
pointing to the list-head if it's the first skb of the list).
This will make __qdisc_drop_all modify the next-pointer of the list-head
and result in a panic later on:

This patch makes sure that skb->prev is also set to NULL when removing
it from the list.

The bug is in v4.19.x as well, but the patch can't be backported easily.
I can post a follow-up for that.
