    openvswitch: fix skb_panic due to the incorrect actions attrlen · 494bea39
    Liping Zhang authored
    For sw_flow_actions, the actions_len only represents the kernel part's
    size, and when we dump the actions to the userspace, we will do the
    convertions, so it's true size may become bigger than the actions_len.
    
    But unfortunately, for OVS_PACKET_ATTR_ACTIONS, we use the actions_len
    to alloc the skbuff, so the user_skb's size may become insufficient and
    oops will happen like this:
      skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff8148fabf len:1749 put:157 head:
      ffff881300f39000 data:ffff881300f39000 tail:0x6d5 end:0x6c0 dev:<NULL>

    Also we can find that the actions_len is much little than the orig_len:
      crash> struct sw_flow_actions 0xffff8812f539d000
      struct sw_flow_actions {
        rcu = {
          next = 0xffff8812f5398800,
          func = 0xffffe3b00035db32
        },
        orig_len = 1384,
        actions_len = 592,
        actions = 0xffff8812f539d01c
      }
    
    So as a quick fix, use the orig_len instead of the actions_len to alloc
    the user_skb.
    
    Last, this oops happened on our system running a relative old kernel, but
    the same risk still exists on the mainline, since we use the wrong
    actions_len from the beginning.
