Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf: Fix reference count leak in bpf_prog_test_run_xdp()<br />
<br />
syzbot is reporting<br />
<br />
unregister_netdevice: waiting for sit0 to become free. Usage count = 2<br />
<br />
problem. A debug printk() patch found that a refcount is obtained at<br />
xdp_convert_md_to_buff() from bpf_prog_test_run_xdp().<br />
<br />
According to commit ec94670fcb3b ("bpf: Support specifying ingress via<br />
xdp_md context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN"), the refcount obtained by<br />
xdp_convert_md_to_buff() will be released by xdp_convert_buff_to_md().<br />
<br />
Therefore, we can consider that the error handling path introduced by<br />
commit 1c1949982524 ("bpf: introduce frags support to<br />
bpf_prog_test_run_xdp()") forgot to call xdp_convert_buff_to_md().
