Subject: [PATCH net v1] virtio_net: Introduce skb_vnet_common_hdr to avoid typecasting
The virtio_net driver currently deals with different versions and types
of virtio net headers, such as virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf,
virtio_net_hdr_v1_hash, etc. Due to these variations, the code relies
on multiple type casts to convert memory between different structures,
potentially leading to bugs when there are changes in these structures.
Introduces the "struct skb_vnet_common_hdr" as a unifying header
structure using a union. With this approach, various virtio net header
structures can be converted by accessing different members of this
structure, thus eliminating the need for type casting and reducing the
risk of potential bugs.
For example following code:
static struct sk_buff *page_to_skb(struct virtnet_info *vi,
struct receive_queue *rq,
struct page *page, unsigned int offset,
unsigned int len, unsigned int truesize,
unsigned int headroom)
{
[...]
struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf *hdr;
[...]
hdr_len = vi->hdr_len;
[...]
ok:
hdr = skb_vnet_hdr(skb);
memcpy(hdr, hdr_p, hdr_len);
[...]
}
When VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT feature is enabled, hdr_len = 20
But the sizeof(*hdr) is 12,
memcpy(hdr, hdr_p, hdr_len); will copy 20 bytes to the hdr,
which make a potential risk of bug. And this risk can be avoided by
introducing struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf.
