This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ipa: certain dropped packets aren't accounted for to the 5.17-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-ipa-certain-dropped-packets-aren-t-accounted-for.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7feaa42b0b802e9f0b50eb77ae0bab95559a2b57 Author: Alex Elder <elder@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 12 10:10:31 2022 -0500 net: ipa: certain dropped packets aren't accounted for [ Upstream commit 30b338ff7998b6ed7a90815870cd5db725f87168 ] If an RX endpoint receives packets containing status headers, and a packet in the buffer is not dropped, ipa_endpoint_skb_copy() is responsible for wrapping the packet data in an SKB and forwarding it to ipa_modem_skb_rx() for further processing. If ipa_endpoint_skb_copy() gets a null pointer from build_skb(), it just returns early. But in the process it doesn't record that as a dropped packet in the network device statistics. Instead, call ipa_modem_skb_rx() whether or not the SKB pointer is NULL; that function ensures the statistics are properly updated.
