Subject: [PATCH 5.15 130/171] net: cdc_ncm: Allow for dwNtbOutMaxSize to be unset or zero

From: Lee Jones <lee.jones@...aro.org>

commit 2be6d4d16a0849455a5c22490e3c5983495fed00 upstream.

Currently, due to the sequential use of min_t() and clamp_t() macros,
in cdc_ncm_check_tx_max(), if dwNtbOutMaxSize is not set, the logic
sets tx_max to 0.  This is then used to allocate the data area of the
SKB requested later in cdc_ncm_fill_tx_frame().

This does not cause an issue presently because when memory is
allocated during initialisation phase of SKB creation, more memory
(512b) is allocated than is required for the SKB headers alone (320b),
leaving some space (512b - 320b = 192b) for CDC data (172b).

However, if more elements (for example 3 x u64 = [24b]) were added to
one of the SKB header structs, say 'struct skb_shared_info',
increasing its original size (320b [320b aligned]) to something larger
(344b [384b aligned]), then suddenly the CDC data (172b) no longer
fits in the spare SKB data area (512b - 384b = 128b).

Consequently the SKB bounds checking semantics fails and panics:

  skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff830a5b5f len:184 put:172   \
     head:ffff888119227c00 data:ffff888119227c00 tail:0xb8 end:0x80 dev:<NULL>

By overriding the max value with the default CDC_NCM_NTB_MAX_SIZE_TX
when not offered through the system provided params, we ensure enough
data space is allocated to handle the CDC data, meaning no crash will
occur.
