From: Sandeep Penigalapati <[email protected]>
Shared UMEM is meant to be shared by a limited number of sockets,
governed by the mempool size (max_xsks). When the UMEM was already at
capacity (refcnt >= max_xsks), xdp_umem_configure() returned the UMEM
without incrementing its refcount, so the extra socket used it
unaccounted for.
This missing reference has two consequences. During queue setup the
fill-queue reservation is chosen from the refcount, so the sharing
socket reserves into its own uninitialised fill queue and crashes. At
close, the under-counted refcount reaches zero while the UMEM is still
in use, freeing it early and causing a use-after-free.
Reject sharing once the UMEM is at capacity by returning NULL. The
error is propagated from xsk_configure(), so Rx queue setup fails
cleanly with -ENOMEM. This applies the per-mempool socket limit that
shared UMEM was always intended to respect.
Harden the failure path this makes reachable:
- clear rxq->umem and its paired txq->umem when xsk_configure() fails,
and skip queues whose UMEM is not yet set in get_shared_umem(), so a
later scan over the same mempool cannot dereference a NULL or
dangling UMEM;
- free the fill-queue mbufs that were allocated but not yet handed to
the fill queue when a sharing socket fails to bind, so it no longer
leaks a burst of mbufs back out of the shared mempool;
- propagate the map-insert failures in xsk_configure() instead of
returning success, so a failed xsks_map update no longer leaves the
caller using a deleted socket;
- continue past, rather than stop at, a failed queue in eth_dev_close()
so later successful queues and their UMEM references are still freed;
- clamp max_xsks to UINT8_MAX so the cap stays within the uint8_t
refcount.
Also correct the UMEM refcount memory ordering: relaxed on the shared
increment, release on the decrements, with an acquire fence before
xdp_umem_destroy() so the final user's writes are visible to the thread
that frees the UMEM.
Document the shared mempool sizing requirement (4096 mbufs per socket).
Note: on stable branches this is a behaviour change. Shared-UMEM setups
that previously appeared to start, until the fill-queue crash or the
use-after-free at close, now fail cleanly at Rx queue setup with
-ENOMEM.

v4:
- Free fill-queue mbufs on the failure path.
- Propagate map-insert failures and the -ENOMEM from xsk_configure() to
the caller instead of a blanket -EINVAL / silent success.
- eth_dev_close(): continue past failed queues instead of break.
- Correct refcount memory ordering (relaxed increment, release
decrement, acquire fence before destroy).
- Clamp max_xsks to UINT8_MAX so the cap fits the uint8_t refcount.
- Clear txq->umem on the early return; clearer log when the mempool is
too small (max_xsks == 0).
v3:
- Move the NULL umem check after ctx_exists() so a failed queue is still
checked for a duplicate context, as before.
- Shorten the "at capacity" log to one line and drop the count.
- Also clear txq->umem, not just rxq->umem, when setup fails.
- Clarify "AF_XDP socket" in the doc.
v2:
- Guard get_shared_umem() against a NULL umem and clear rxq->umem on the
xsk_configure() error path (review).
- doc: "Rx queue setup fails", one sentence per line.
- Drop unrelated reflow of the refcount increment.

+The shared mempool must be large enough for every AF_XDP socket sharing
+the UMEM.
+Each socket requires 4096 mbufs, so a UMEM shared by ``N`` sockets needs at
