[PATCH 3/6] brcmfmac: use ndev->needed_headroom to reserve additional header space

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: wrightf <wright.feng@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

When using nmap tool with FMAC, the nmap packets were be dropped by kernel
because the size was too short. The kernel message showed like
"nmap: packet size is too short (42 <= 50)". It is caused by the packet
length is shorter than ndev->hard_header_len. According to definition of
LL_RESERVED_SPACE() and hard_header_len, we should use hard_header_len
to reserve for L2 header, like ethernet header(ETH_HLEN) in our case and
use needed_headroom for the additional headroom needed by hardware.
