[PATCH net] net: devmem: reject TX dma-buf with non-page-aligned size or SG length

From: David Carlier

Date: Sun May 17 2026 - 16:18:45 EST


The TX dma-buf bind assumes dmabuf->size and every sg_dma_len() are
PAGE_SIZE multiples: tx_vec is sized dmabuf->size / PAGE_SIZE and
indexed by virt_addr / PAGE_SIZE, with only a virt_addr < dmabuf->size
bound check. A non-page-aligned size lets sendmsg() reach the tail
region past the last populated slot and read one past tx_vec[]. A
non-page-aligned, non-final SG entry causes the same OOB indirectly
by desyncing later slots.

Reject both up front. Real exporters (udmabuf, dma-buf heaps, GPU
drivers) already page-align, so this only refuses layouts the TX path
can't back correctly.
