Although it is unlikely that stack could transmit a non LSO skb with length > MTU, however in some cases or environment such occurrences actually resulted into firmware asserts due to packet length being greater than the max supported by the device (~9700B). This patch adds the safeguard for such odd cases to avoid firmware asserts. v2: Added "Fixes" tag with one of the initial driver commit which enabled the TX traffic actually (as this was probably day1 issue which was discovered recently by some customer environment) Fixes: a2ec6172d29c ("qede: Add support for link") Signed-off-by: Manish Chopra <manishc@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Alok Prasad <palok@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Prabhakar Kushwaha <pkushwaha@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior <aelior@xxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211203174413.13090-1-manishc@xxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qede/qede_fp.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qede/qede_fp.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qede/qede_fp.c @@ -1580,6 +1580,13 @@ netdev_tx_t qede_start_xmit(struct sk_bu data_split = true; } } else { + if (unlikely(skb->len > ETH_TX_MAX_NON_LSO_PKT_LEN)) { + DP_ERR(edev, "Unexpected non LSO skb length = 0x%x\n", skb->len); + qede_free_failed_tx_pkt(txq, first_bd, 0, false); + qede_update_tx_producer(txq); + return NETDEV_TX_OK; + } + val |= ((skb->len & ETH_TX_DATA_1ST_BD_PKT_LEN_MASK) << ETH_TX_DATA_1ST_BD_PKT_LEN_SHIFT); } Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from manishc@xxxxxxxxxxx are queue-4.14/qede-validate-non-lso-skb-length.patch
