When an XDP program is installed, tun_build_skb() grabs a reference to
the current page fragment page if the program returns XDP_REDIRECT or
XDP_TX. However, since tun_xdp_act() passes through negative return
values from the XDP program, it is possible to trigger the error path by
mistake and accidentally drop a reference to the fragments page without
taking one, leading to a spurious free. This is believed to be the cause
of some KASAN use-after-free reports from syzbot [1], although without a
reproducer it is not possible to confirm whether this patch fixes the
problem.
Ensure that we only drop a reference to the fragments page if the XDP
transmit or redirect operations actually fail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
