From 0f08f0b0fb5e674b48f30e86c103760204a1d3f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Fuchs Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 19:10:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: ps3_gelic_net: handle skb allocation failures Handle skb allocation failures in RX path, to avoid NULL pointer dereference and RX stalls under memory pressure. If the refill fails with -ENOMEM, complete napi polling and wake up later to retry via timer. Also explicitly re-enable RX DMA after oom, so the dmac doesn't remain stopped in this situation. Previously, memory pressure could lead to skb allocation failures and subsequent Oops like: Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#2] Hardware name: SonyPS3 Cell Broadband Engine 0x701000 PS3 NIP [c0003d0000065900] gelic_net_poll+0x6c/0x2d0 [ps3_gelic] (unreliable) LR [c0003d00000659c4] gelic_net_poll+0x130/0x2d0 [ps3_gelic] Call Trace: gelic_net_poll+0x130/0x2d0 [ps3_gelic] (unreliable) __napi_poll+0x44/0x168 net_rx_action+0x178/0x290 Steps to reproduce the issue: 1. Start a continuous network traffic, like scp of a 20GB file 2. Inject failslab errors using the kernel fault injection: echo -1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/times echo 30 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/interval echo 100 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/probability 3. After some time, traces start to appear, kernel Oopses and the system stops Step 2 is not always necessary, as it is usually already triggered by the transfer of a big enough file.
