[ Upstream commit 2f99619820c2269534eb2c0cde44870313c6d353 ]
Fix a missing validation of a Tx descriptor when executing in skb mode
and the umem is in unaligned mode. A descriptor could point to a
buffer straddling the end of the umem, thus effectively tricking the
kernel to read outside the allowed umem region. This could lead to a
kernel crash if that part of memory is not mapped.
In zero-copy mode, the descriptor validation code rejects such
descriptors by checking a bit in the DMA address that tells us if the
next page is physically contiguous or not. For the last page in the
umem, this bit is not set, therefore any descriptor pointing to a
packet straddling this last page boundary will be rejected. However,
the skb path does not use this bit since it copies out data and can do
so to two different pages. (It also does not have the array of DMA
address, so it cannot even store this bit.) The code just returned
that the packet is always physically contiguous. But this is
unfortunately also returned for the last page in the umem, which means
that packets that cross the end of the umem are being allowed, which
they should not be.
Fix this by introducing a check for this in the SKB path only, not
penalizing the zero-copy path.

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.
