This preserves the\nzero-copy optimization for the last slave while making the \"last\"\ndetermination stable against concurrent list mutations.\n\nThe UAF can trigger the following crash:\n\n==================================================================\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in skb_clone\nRead of size 8 at addr ffff888100ef8d40 by task exploit/147\n\nCPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 147 Comm: exploit Not tainted 7.0.0-rc3+ #4 PREEMPTLAZY\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n dump_stack_lvl (lib/dump_stack.c:123)\n print_report (mm/kasan/report.c:379 mm/kasan/report.c:482)\n kasan_report (mm/kasan/report.c:597)\n skb_clone (include/linux/skbuff.h:1724 include/linux/skbuff.h:1792 include/linux/skbuff.h:3396 net/core/skbuff.c:2108)\n bond_xmit_broadcast (drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:5334)\n bond_start_xmit (drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:5567 drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:5593)\n dev_hard_start_xmit (include/linux/netdevice.h:5325 include/linux/netdevice.h:5334 net/core/dev.c:3871 net/core/dev.c:3887)\n __dev_queue_xmit (include/linux/netdevice.h:3601 net/core/dev.c:4838)\n ip6_finish_output2 (include/net/neighbour.h:540 include/net/neighbour.h:554 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:136)\n ip6_finish_output (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:208 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:219)\n ip6_output (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:250)\n ip6_send_skb (net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1985)\n udp_v6_send_skb (net/ipv6/udp.c:1442)\n udpv6_sendmsg (net/ipv6/udp.c:1733)\n __sys_sendto (net/socket.c:730 net/socket.c:742 net/socket.c:2206)\n __x64_sys_sendto (net/socket.c:2209)\n do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94)\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130)\n </TASK>\n\nAllocated by task 147:\n\nFreed by task 147:\n\nThe buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888100ef8c80\n which belongs to the cache skbuff_head_cache of size 224\nThe buggy address is located 192 bytes inside of\n freed 224-byte region [ffff888100ef8c80, ffff888100ef8d60)\n\nMemory state around the buggy address:\n ffff888100ef8c00: fb fb fb fb fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n ffff888100ef8c80: fa fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb\n>ffff888100ef8d00: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fc fc fc fc\n                                                    ^\n ffff888100ef8d80: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fa fb fb fb fb fb fb fb\n ffff888100ef8e00: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb\n==================================================================\n\n[Fix]\n\nQuesting: cherry picked from upstream\nNoble:    applied Jammy patch\nJammy:    backported from upstream\nFocal:    not affected\nBionic:   not affected\nXenial:   not affected\nTrusty:   not affected\n\n[Test Plan]\n\nCompile and boot tested.\n\n[Where problems could occur]\n\nThe change affects the network bonding driver's broadcast\nmechanism.
