[PATCH 0/6] net: stmmac: fix handling of oversized frames

[PATCH 0/6] net: stmmac: fix handling of oversized frames

[Aaro Koskinen]

From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com>

Hi,

I accidentally had MTU size mismatch (9000 vs. 1500) in my network,
and I noticed I could kill a system using stmmac & 1500 MTU simply
by pinging it with "ping -s 2000 ...".

While testing a fix I encountered also some other issues that need fixing.

I have tested these only with enhanced descriptors, so the normal
descriptor changes need a careful review.

[PATCH 1/6] net: stmmac: use correct DMA buffer size in the RX descriptor

[Aaro Koskinen]

From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com>

We always program the maximum DMA buffer size into the receive descriptor,
although the allocated size may be less. E.g. with the default MTU size
we allocate only 1536 bytes. If somebody sends us a bigger frame, then
memory may get corrupted.

Fix by using exact buffer sizes.

So, I'm seeing that the maximum allowed buffer size that can be
put in the descriptor changes between enhanced descriptors to
normal descriptors (8KB vs. 2KB right ?).

Shouldn't stmmac_main know about this limit before trying to init
descriptors ?

We do limit the MTU according to HW version but I would rather
prefer not having to need to calculate min() values in the
descriptor code and just use the value as is ...

Thanks,

There are two size fields, so it's 16KB vs 4 KB.

Yes, and that is not a problem.

I don't think the calculation can be avoided, as the passed value can
be bigger than a single field can hold, or less than the maximum.

[PATCH 3/6] net: stmmac: don't stop NAPI processing when dropping a packet

[Aaro Koskinen]

From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com>

Currently, if we drop a packet, we exit from NAPI loop before the budget
is consumed. In some situations this will make the RX processing stall
e.g. when flood pinging the system with oversized packets, as the
errorneous packets are not dropped efficiently.

If we drop a packet, we should just continue to the next one as long as
the budget allows.

If we have error bits set, the discard_frame status will get overwritten
by checksum bit checks, which might set the status back to good one.
Fix by checking the COE status only if the frame is good.

[PATCH 5/6] net: stmmac: fix dropping of multi-descriptor RX frames

[Aaro Koskinen]

From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com>

Packets without the last descriptor set should be dropped early. If we
receive a frame larger than the DMA buffer, the HW will continue using the
next descriptor. Driver mistakes these as individual frames, and sometimes
a truncated frame (without the LD set) may look like a valid packet.

This fixes a strange issue where the system replies to 4098-byte ping
although the MTU/DMA buffer size is set to 4096, and yet at the same
time it's logging an oversized packet.
