It is also probably better to check whether shinfo->nr_frags is too
large which makes frag_overflow > MAX_SKB_FRAGS. I know skb should be
already be valid at this point but it wouldn't hurt to be more careful.
Ok, I've added this:
/* At this point shinfo->nr_frags is in fact the number of
* slots, which can be as large as XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX.
*/
+ if (shinfo->nr_frags > MAX_SKB_FRAGS) {
+ if (shinfo->nr_frags > XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX) return NULL;
+ frag_overflow = shinfo->nr_frags - MAX_SKB_FRAGS;


What I suggested is

BUG_ON(frag_overflow > MAX_SKB_FRAGS)

Ok, I've changed it.
