Having Rx-only AF_XDP sockets can potentially lead to a crash in the
system by a NULL pointer dereference in xsk_umem_consume_tx(). This
function iterates through a list of all sockets tied to a umem and
checks if there are any packets to send on the Tx ring. Rx-only
sockets do not have a Tx ring, so this will cause a NULL pointer
dereference. This will happen if you have registered one or more
Rx-only sockets to a umem and the driver is checking the Tx ring even
on Rx, or if the XDP_SHARED_UMEM mode is used and there is a mix of
Rx-only and other sockets tied to the same umem.

Fixed by only putting sockets with a Tx component on the list that
xsk_umem_consume_tx() iterates over.

Fixes: ac98d8aab61b ("xsk: wire upp Tx zero-copy functions")

A future improvement might be renaming umem->xsk_list to umem->xsk_tx_list
or similar, in order to make it clear that the list is only used on the
TX path.

Agreed. Had that exact name in my first internal version of the patch
:-), but that rename touched a lot of places so it obfuscated the fix
and therefore I removed it to make it clearer. But I can submit a
patch with the rename to bpf-next.

please do so after bpf fixes will travel to net->linus->net-next->bpf-next
Dealing with merge conflicts is not worth it otherwise.
