Subject: net: qcom/emac: specify the correct size when mapping a DMA buffer
From: Timur Tabi <timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a93ad944f4ff9a797abff17c73fc4b1e4a1d9141 ]
When mapping the RX DMA buffers, the driver was accidentally specifying
zero for the buffer length. Under normal circumstances, SWIOTLB does not
need to allocate a bounce buffer, so the address is just mapped without
checking the size field. This is why the error was not detected earlier.
