NULL Pointer Dereference Affecting kernel-debug-devel package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

This comes from __xdp_return() call with xdp_buff argument passed as NULL which is supposed to be consumed by xsk_buff_free() call.
To address this properly, in ZC case, a node that represents the frag being removed has to be pulled out of xskb_list. Introduce appropriate xsk helpers to do such node operation and use them accordingly within bpf_xdp_adjust_tail().
