Subject: [PATCH net 7/7] net: bcm4908_enet: drop RX frames longer than the buffer
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 00:57:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109235700.2586821-8-kudzo51@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109235700.2586821-1-kudzo51@gmail.com>

poll_rx() takes the frame length from the DMA descriptor and passes it
to skb_put() unchecked, so a length larger than the buffer ends in
skb_over_panic() from the NAPI poll. It was seen on a BCM4908 with the
RX channel's MAX_BURST raised to 32, where the DMA reported a length of
3388 bytes, more than twice the size of the buffer; with the default
burst length it has not been seen. Drop such a frame like any other bad
one and count it as a length error.

Fixes: 4feffeadbcb2 ("net: broadcom: bcm4908enet: add BCM4908 controller driver")
