This patch corrects packet receiving in ax88179_rx_fixup. - problem observed: ifconfig shows allways a lot of 'RX Errors' while packets are received normally. This occurs because ax88179_rx_fixup does not recognise properly the usb urb received. The packets are normally processed and at the end, the code exits with 'return 0', generating RX Errors. (pkt_cnt==-2 and ptk_hdr over field rx_hdr trying to identify another packet there) This is a usb urb received by "tcpdump -i usbmon2 -X" on a little-endian CPU: 0x0000: eeee f8e3 3b19 87a0 94de 80e3 daac 0800 ^ packet 1 start (pkt_len = 0x05ec) ^^^^ IP alignment pseudo header ^ ethernet packet start last byte ethernet packet v padding (8-bytes aligned) vvvv vvvv 0x05e0: c92d d444 1420 8a69 83dd 272f e82b 9811 0x05f0: eeee f8e3 3b19 87a0 94de 80e3 daac 0800 ... ^ packet 2 0x0be0: eeee f8e3 3b19 87a0 94de 80e3 daac 0800 ... 0x1130: 9d41 9171 8a38 0ec5 eeee f8e3 3b19 87a0 ... 0x1720: 8cfc 15ff 5e4c e85c eeee f8e3 3b19 87a0 ... 0x1d10: ecfa 2a3a 19ab c78c eeee f8e3 3b19 87a0 ... 0x2070: eeee f8e3 3b19 87a0 94de 80e3 daac 0800 ... ^ packet 7 0x2120: 7c88 4ca5 5c57 7dcc 0d34 7577 f778 7e0a 0x2130: f032 e093 7489 0740 3008 ec05 0000 0080 ====1==== ====2==== hdr_off ^ pkt_len = 0x05ec ^^^^ AX_RXHDR_*=0x00830 ^^^^ ^ pkt_len = 0 ^^^^ AX_RXHDR_DROP_ERR=0x80000000 ^^^^ ^ 0x2140: 3008 ec05 0000 0080 3008 5805 0000 0080 0x2150: 3008 ec05 0000 0080 3008 ec05 0000 0080 0x2160: 3008 5803 0000 0080 3008 c800 0000 0080 ===11==== ===12==== ===13==== ===14==== 0x2170: 0000 0000 0e00 3821 ^^^^ ^^^^ rx_hdr ^^^^ pkt_cnt=14 ^^^^ hdr_off=0x2138 ^^^^ ^^^^ padding The dump shows that pkt_cnt is the number of entrys in the per-packet metadata. It is "2 * packet count". Each packet have two entrys. The first have a valid value (pkt_len and AX_RXHDR_*) and the second have a dummy-header 0x80000000 (pkt_len=0 with AX_RXHDR_DROP_ERR). Why exists dummy-header for each packet?!? My guess is that this was done probably to align the entry for each packet to 64-bits and maintain compatibility with old firmware. There is also a padding (0x00000000) before the rx_hdr to align the end of rx_hdr to 64-bit. Note that packets have a alignment of 64-bits (8-bytes). This patch assumes that the dummy-header and the last padding are optional. So it preserves semantics and recognises the same valid packets as the current code. This patch was made using only the dumpfile information and tested with only one device: 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp.
