netlink, mmap: transform mmap skb into full skb on taps
[ Upstream commit 1853c949646005b5959c483becde86608f548f24 ] Ken-ichirou reported that running netlink in mmap mode for receive in combination with nlmon will throw a NULL pointer dereference in __kfree_skb() on nlmon_xmit(), in my case I can also trigger an "unable to handle kernel paging request". The problem is the skb_clone() in __netlink_deliver_tap_skb() for skbs that are mmaped. I.e. the cloned skb doesn't have a destructor, whereas the mmap netlink skb has it pointed to netlink_skb_destructor(), set in the handler netlink_ring_setup_skb(). There, skb->head is being set to NULL, so that in such cases, __kfree_skb() doesn't perform a skb_release_data() via skb_release_all(), where skb->head is possibly being freed through kfree(head) into slab allocator, although netlink mmap skb->head points to the mmap buffer. Similarly, the same has to be done also for large netlink skbs where the data area is vmalloced. Therefore, as discussed, make a copy for these rather rare cases for now. This fixes the issue on my and Ken-ichirou's test-cases.
