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.

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.
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.
