Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

eth: bnxt: fix truesize for mb-xdp-pass case

When mb-xdp is set and return is XDP_PASS, packet is converted from
xdp_buff to sk_buff with xdp_update_skb_shared_info() in
bnxt_xdp_build_skb().
bnxt_xdp_build_skb() passes incorrect truesize argument to
xdp_update_skb_shared_info().
The truesize is calculated as BNXT_RX_PAGE_SIZE * sinfo->nr_frags but
the skb_shared_info was wiped by napi_build_skb() before.
So it stores sinfo->nr_frags before bnxt_xdp_build_skb() and use it
instead of getting skb_shared_info from xdp_get_shared_info_from_buff().

Splat looks like:

How to reproduce:
<Node A>
ip link set $interface1 xdp obj xdp_pass.o
ip link set $interface1 mtu 9000 up
ip a a 10.0.0.1/24 dev $interface1
<Node B>
ip link set $interfac2 mtu 9000 up
ip a a 10.0.0.2/24 dev $interface2
ping 10.0.0.1 -s 65000

Following ping.py patch adds xdp-mb-pass case. so ping.py is going to be
able to reproduce this issue.
