xsk: reject sw-csum UMEM binding to IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR devices
skb_checksum_help() is a common helper that writes the folded
16-bit checksum back via skb->data + csum_start + csum_offset,
i.e. it relies on the skb's linear head and fails (with WARN_ONCE
and -EINVAL) when skb_headlen() is 0.
AF_XDP generic xmit takes two very different paths depending on the
netdev. Drivers that advertise IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR (e.g. virtio_net)
skip the "copy payload into a linear head" step on purpose as a
performance optimisation: xsk_build_skb_zerocopy() only attaches UMEM
pages as frags and never calls skb_put(), so skb_headlen() stays 0
for the whole skb. For these skbs there is simply no linear area for
skb_checksum_help() to write the csum into - the sw-csum fallback is
structurally inapplicable.
The patch tries to catch this and reject the combination with error at
setup time. Rejecting at bind() converts this silent per-packet failure
into a synchronous, actionable -EOPNOTSUPP at setup time. HW csum and
launch_time metadata on IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR drivers are unaffected
because they do not call skb_checksum_help().
Without the patch, every descriptor carrying 'XDP_TX_METADATA |
XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_CHECKSUM' produces:
1) a WARN_ONCE "offset (N) >= skb_headlen() (0)" from skb_checksum_help(),
2) sendmsg() returning -EINVAL without consuming the descriptor
(invalid_descs is not incremented),
3) a wedged TX ring: __xsk_generic_xmit() does not advance the
consumer on non-EOVERFLOW errors, so the next sendmsg() re-reads
the same descriptor and re-hits the same WARN until the socket
is closed.
