The caller of rtl8169_tso_csum_v2() frees the skb if false is returned. eth_skb_pad() internally frees the skb on error what would result in a double free. Therefore use __skb_put_padto() directly and instruct it to not free the skb on error.
Fixes: 25e992a4603c ("r8169: rename r8169.c to r8169_main.c") Reported-by: Jakub Kicinski <k...@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallwe...@gmail.com> --- The Fixes tag refers to the change from which on the patch applies. However it will apply with a little fuzz only on versions up to 5.9. --- drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c index 07d197141..c5d5c1cfc 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169_main.c @@ -4134,7 +4134,8 @@ static bool rtl8169_tso_csum_v2(struct rtl8169_private *tp, opts[1] |= transport_offset << TCPHO_SHIFT; } else { if (unlikely(skb->len < ETH_ZLEN && rtl_test_hw_pad_bug(tp))) - return !eth_skb_pad(skb); + /* eth_skb_pad would free the skb on error */ + return !__skb_put_padto(skb, ETH_ZLEN, false); } return true; -- 2.29.2
