I am doing this for the first time, so any help would be appreciated! What is to rebase on the netdev/net tree? The patch from my previous e-mail was generated by `git format-patch -1`. I can’t notice any difference when compared to to the newly generated patch, which I rebased on the latest master. According to the description from the link below, I ran the following commands: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#providing-base-tree-information git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git cd linux git checkout -t -b ipheth-fix-RX-EOVERFLOW master git am --signoff < 0001-ipheth-fix-EOVERFLOW-in-ipheth_rcvbulk_callback.patch git format-patch --base=auto --cover-letter -o drivers/net/ master drivers/net/0000-cover-letter.patch >From cd18496373e28af570dc382f618edd442d705252 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Georgi Valkov <gvalkov@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2021 14:15:58 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 0/1] *** SUBJECT HERE *** *** BLURB HERE *** Georgi Valkov (1): ipheth: fix EOVERFLOW in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback drivers/net/usb/ipheth.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) base-commit: 2734d6c1b1a089fb593ef6a23d4b70903526fe0c -- 2.32.0 drivers/net/0001-ipheth-fix-EOVERFLOW-in-ipheth_rcvbulk_callback.patch >From cd18496373e28af570dc382f618edd442d705252 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Georgi Valkov <gvalkov@xxxxxx> Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2021 20:44:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ipheth: fix EOVERFLOW in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback When rx_buf is allocated we need to account for IPHETH_IP_ALIGN, which reduces the usable size by 2 bytes. Otherwise we have 1512 bytes usable instead of 1514, and if we receive more than 1512 bytes, ipheth_rcvbulk_callback is called with status -EOVERFLOW, after which the driver malfunctiones and all communication stops.
