Multiple BPF helpers in use by sk_skb programs calculate the max
skb length using the __bpf_skb_max_len function. However, this
calculates the max length using the skb->dev pointer which can be
NULL when an sk_skb program is paired with an sk_msg program.

To force this a sk_msg program needs to redirect into the ingress
path of a sock with an attach sk_skb program. Then the the sk_skb
program would need to call one of the helpers that adjust the skb
size.

To fix the null ptr dereference use SKB_MAX_ALLOC size if no dev
is available.

Fixes: 8934ce2f ("bpf: sockmap redirect ingress support")

History
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
