Description		In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: core: remove unnecessary frame_sz check in bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() Syzkaller reported the following issue: ======================================= Too BIG xdp->frame_sz = 131072 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5020 at net/core/filter.c:4121 ____bpf_xdp_adjust_tail net/core/filter.c:4121 [inline] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5020 at net/core/filter.c:4121 bpf_xdp_adjust_tail+0x466/0xa10 net/core/filter.c:4103 ...

But Jesper Dangaard Brouer <jbrouer@redhat.com> noted that after introducing the xdp_init_buff() which all XDP driver use - it's safe to remove this check. The original intend was to catch cases where XDP drivers have not been updated to use xdp.frame_sz, but that is not longer a concern (since xdp_init_buff). Running the initial syzkaller repro it was discovered that the contiguous physical memory allocation is used for both xdp paths in tun_get_user(), e.g. tun_build_skb() and tun_alloc_skb(). It was also stated by Jesper Dangaard Brouer <jbrouer@redhat.com> that XDP can work on higher order pages, as long as this is contiguous physical memory (e.g. a page).
