netfilter buglog - Mar 2007 - [Bug 555] New: skb_trim() Called on Paged skb in ip_queue

https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=555

           Summary: skb_trim() Called on Paged skb in ip_queue
           Product: netfilter/iptables
           Version: linux-2.6.x
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Debian GNU/Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
        AssignedTo: laforge@netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: smilerliu@gmail.com


In ip_queue.c:

***
static int
ipq_mangle_ipv4(ipq_verdict_msg_t *v, struct ipq_queue_entry *e)
{
        int diff;
        struct iphdr *user_iph = (struct iphdr *)v->payload;

        if (v->data_len < sizeof(*user_iph))
                return 0;
        diff = v->data_len - e->skb->len;
        if (diff < 0)
                skb_trim(e->skb, v->data_len);
***

Here skb_trim is called on a potentially paged skb. In older kernels (such as
2.6.16.13) there is no problem because its __skb_trim() automatically calls
___pskb_trim() when the skb is paged, but in newer kernels (such as 2.6.18)
WARN_ON(1) is called and the trim is not really done.
