CVE-2025-21788

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: fix memleak in certain XDP cases

If the XDP program doesn't result in XDP_PASS then we leak the
memory allocated by am65_cpsw_build_skb().

It is pointless to allocate SKB memory before running the XDP
program as we would be wasting CPU cycles for cases other than XDP_PASS.
Move the SKB allocation after evaluating the XDP program result.

This fixes the memleak. A performance boost is seen for XDP_DROP test.

XDP_DROP test:
Before: 460256 rx/s                  0 err/s
After:  784130 rx/s                  0 err/s

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
