Subject: CVE-2025-21961: eth: bnxt: fix truesize for mb-xdp-pass case

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.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-21961 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
