Subject: Re: [PATCH] ixgbe: drop zero length frame segments during a packet
split rx
This kind of fix just opens up a whole can of security related worms.
If you are going to discard a packet you should do it after we have
reached the EOP in the series. My advice would be to determine what
traits identify this packet and add those to the check for the
IXGBE_RXDADV_ERR_FRAME_ERR_MASK check further down in the code. Likely
what you are seeing is skb_headlen(skb) will be equal to 0.
I'm suspecting this is some sort of read corruption. It looks like in
order to trigger it you have to either be reading rx_buffer_info->dma as
0, or the header length is being read as 0. Do you know if you actually
have header split enabled when this is occuring? Are you running with
jumbo frames enabled to see the issue? If not then packet split
wouldn't be enabled.
Is this occurring on net-next or on an older kernel? I just want to be
sure since we added a read memory barrier in 2.6.34 to address the fact
that the length and descriptor DD bits were being read in the wrong
order resulting in the length being corrupted on PowerPC systems. The
fact that we are now seeing another length error on PowerPC seems very odd.
Thanks,
Alex
