Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, cpumap: Handle skb as well when clean up ptr_ring
The following warning was reported when running xdp_redirect_cpu with
both skb-mode and stress-mode enabled:
------------[ cut here ]------------
Incorrect XDP memory type (-2128176192) usage
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1442 at net/core/xdp.c:405

The reason for the warning is twofold. One is due to the kthread
cpu_map_kthread_run() is stopped prematurely. Another one is
__cpu_map_ring_cleanup() doesn't handle skb mode and treats skbs in
ptr_ring as XDP frames.
Prematurely-stopped kthread will be fixed by the preceding patch and
ptr_ring will be empty when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() is called. But
as the comments in __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() said, handling and freeing
skbs in ptr_ring as well to "catch any broken behaviour gracefully".
