commit 3c4cea8fa7f71f00c5279547043a84bc2a4d8b8c upstream. If the sendmsg() call in vhost_tx_batch() fails, both the 'batched_xdp' and 'done_idx' indexes are left unchanged. If such failure happens when batched_xdp == VHOST_NET_BATCH, the next call to vhost_net_build_xdp() will access and write memory outside the xdp buffers area. Since sendmsg() can only error with EBADFD, this change addresses the issue explicitly freeing the XDP buffers batch on error.

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.
