commit f3600c867c99a2cc8038680ecf211089c50e7971 upstream.
Currently on stable trees we have support for netmem/devmem RX but not TX. It is not safe to forward/redirect an RX unreadable netmem packet into the device's TX path, as the device may call dma-mapping APIs on dma addrs that should not be passed to it.
Fix this by preventing the xmit of unreadable skbs.
Tested by configuring tc redirect:
sudo tc qdisc add dev eth1 ingress sudo tc filter add dev eth1 ingress protocol ip prio 1 flower ip_proto \ tcp src_ip 192.168.1.12 action mirred egress redirect dev eth1
Before, I see unreadable skbs in the driver's TX path passed to dma mapping APIs.
After, I don't see unreadable skbs in the driver's TX path passed to dma mapping APIs.
