Subject: [PATCH net] net: macb: exclude software FCS from TX byte statistics
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:31:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831113128.1678674-1-nb@tipi-net.de> (raw)

Frames for which macb_pad_and_fcs() supplies the FCS have four FCS
bytes appended, and TX completion then accounts the grown skb->len.
tx_bytes is defined to exclude the FCS, so these frames are reported
four bytes too large.

Track only the number of FCS bytes appended in software, 0 or
ETH_FCS_LEN, and subtract that from skb->len at completion. skb->len
already reflects the padded length by then, so there is nothing else
to store. macb_pad_and_fcs() already returns 0 on every non-error
path. Return the FCS length from there instead, rather than
recomputing the same check in the caller. BQL stays on the padded
skb->len that netdev_tx_sent_queue() saw.

Fixes: 653e92a9175e ("net: macb: add support for padding and fcs computation")
Signed-off-by: Nicolai Buchwitz <nb@tipi-net.de>

Originally patch 1/2 of "net: macb: fix zero UDPv4 checksum on
transmit" [1], split out into its own patch since it's a pre-existing,
partly related issue, as suggested by Paolo and David.
