net: gso: fix ownership in __udp_gso_segment
In __udp_gso_segment the skb destructor is removed before segmenting the
skb but the socket reference is kept as-is. This is an issue if the
original skb is later orphaned as we can hit the following bug:
kernel BUG at ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3312! (skb_orphan)
RIP: 0010:ip_rcv_core+0x8b2/0xca0
Call Trace:
ip_rcv+0xab/0x6e0
__netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x168/0x1b0
process_backlog+0x384/0x1100
__napi_poll.constprop.0+0xa1/0x370
net_rx_action+0x925/0xe50
The above can happen following a sequence of events when using
OpenVSwitch, when an OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE action precedes an
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT action:
1. OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE is handled (in do_execute_actions): the skb
goes through queue_gso_packets and then __udp_gso_segment, where its
destructor is removed.
2. The segments' data are copied and sent to userspace.
3. OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT is handled (in do_execute_actions) and the
same original skb is sent to its path.
4. If it later hits skb_orphan, we hit the bug.
Fix this by also removing the reference to the socket in
__udp_gso_segment.
