It turns out that usage of skb extensions can cause memory leaks. Ido Schimmel reported: "[...] there are instances that blindly overwrite 'skb->extensions' by invoking skb_copy_header() after __alloc_skb()." Therefore, give up on using skb extensions for KCOV handle, and instead directly store kcov_handle in sk_buff. Fixes:6370cc3bbd("net: add kcov handle to skb extensions") Fixes:85ce50d337("net: kcov: don't select SKB_EXTENSIONS when there is no NET") Fixes:97f53a08cb("net: linux/skbuff.h: combine SKB_EXTENSIONS + KCOV handling") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20201121160941.GA485907@shredder.lan/ Reported-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@idosch.org> Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201125224840.2014773-1-elver@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
