XDP multi-buffer support introduced XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS flag that is used by drivers to notify data path whether xdp_buff contains fragments or not. Data path looks up mentioned flag on first buffer that occupies the linear part of xdp_buff, so drivers only modify it there. This is sufficient for SKB and XDP_DRV modes as usually xdp_buff is allocated on stack or it resides within struct representing driver's queue and fragments are carried via skb_frag_t structs. IOW, we are dealing with only one xdp_buff. ZC mode though relies on list of xdp_buff structs that is carried via xsk_buff_pool::xskb_list, so ZC data path has to make sure that fragments do *not* have XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS set. Otherwise, xsk_buff_free() could misbehave if it would be executed against xdp_buff that carries a frag with XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS flag set. Such scenario can take place when within supplied XDP program bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() is used with negative offset that would in turn release the tail fragment from multi-buffer frame. Calling xsk_buff_free() on tail fragment with XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS would result in releasing all the nodes from xskb_list that were produced by driver before XDP program execution, which is not what is intended - only tail fragment should be deleted from xskb_list and then it should be put onto xsk_buff_pool::free_list. Such multi-buffer frame will never make it up to user space, so from AF_XDP application POV there would be no traffic running, however due to free_list getting constantly new nodes, driver will be able to feed HW Rx queue with recycled buffers. Bottom line is that instead of traffic being redirected to user space, it would be continuously dropped. To fix this, let us clear the mentioned flag on xsk_buff_pool side during xdp_buff initialization, which is what should have been done right from the start of XSK multi-buffer support. Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
