CVE-2022-49142

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

net: preserve skb_end_offset() in skb_unclone_keeptruesize()

syzbot found another way to trigger the infamous WARN_ON_ONCE(delta < len) in skb_try_coalesce() [1]

I was able to root cause the issue to kfence.

When kfence is in action, the following assertion is no longer true:

int size = xxxx; void *ptr1 = kmalloc(size, gfp); void *ptr2 = kmalloc(size, gfp);

if (ptr1 && ptr2) ASSERT(ksize(ptr1) == ksize(ptr2));

We attempted to fix these issues in the blamed commits, but forgot that TCP was possibly shifting data after skb_unclone_keeptruesize() has been used, notably from tcp_retrans_try_collapse().

So we not only need to keep same skb->truesize value, we also need to make sure TCP wont fill new tailroom that pskb_expand_head() was able to get from a addr = kmalloc(…) followed by ksize(addr)

Split skb_unclone_keeptruesize() into two parts:

1. Inline skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the common case, when skb is not cloned.

2. Out of line __skb_unclone_keeptruesize() for the slow path.
