An sk_buff stores data in three places: + +1. A linear chunk of allocated memory in skb->data. This is the easiest + one to work with, but it precludes using scatterdata since the memory + must be linear. +2. The array skb_shinfo(skb)->frags, which is of maximum length + MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is nice for scattergather, since these fragments + can point to different pages. +3. skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list, which is a pointer to another sk_buff, + which in turn can have data in either (1) or (2). + +The first two are rather easy to deal with, since they're of a fixed +maximum length, while the third one is not, since there can be +potentially limitless chains of fragments. Fortunately dealing with +frag_list is opt-in for drivers, so drivers don't actually have to deal +with this mess. For whatever reason, macsec decided it wanted pain, and +so it explicitly specified NETIF_F_FRAGLIST. + +Because dealing with (1), (2), and (3) is insane, most users of sk_buff +doing any sort of crypto or paging operation calls a convenient function +called skb_to_sgvec (which happens to be recursive if (3) is in use!). +This takes a sk_buff as input, and writes into its output pointer an +array of scattergather list items. Sometimes people like to declare a +fixed size scattergather list on the stack; othertimes people like to +allocate a fixed size scattergather list on the heap. However, if you're +doing it in a fixed-size fashion, you really shouldn't be using +NETIF_F_FRAGLIST too (unless you're also ensuring the sk_buff and its +frag_list children arent't shared and then you check the number of +fragments in total required.) + +Macsec specifically does this: + + size += sizeof(struct scatterlist) * (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1); + tmp = kmalloc(size, GFP_ATOMIC); + *sg = (struct scatterlist *)(tmp + sg_offset); + ... + sg_init_table(sg, MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1); + skb_to_sgvec(skb, sg, 0, skb->len); + +Specifying MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 is the right answer usually, but not if you're +using NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, in which case the call to skb_to_sgvec will +overflow the heap, and disaster ensues. + +Signed-off-by: Jason A.
