commit 52ff2b840bc723f3be1f096f8017c78e0515858c upstream.
Since commit 2ca34b508774 ("staging: axis-fifo: Correct handling of
tx_fifo_depth for size validation"), write() operations with packets
larger than 'tx_fifo_depth - 4' words are no longer rejected with -EINVAL.
Fortunately, the packets are not actually getting transmitted to hardware,
otherwise they would be raising a 'Transmit Packet Overrun Error'
interrupt, which requires a reset of the TX circuit to recover from.
Instead, the request times out inside wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
and always returns -EAGAIN, since the wake up condition can never be true
for these packets. But still, they unnecessarily block other tasks from
writing to the FIFO and the EAGAIN return code signals userspace to retry
the write() call, even though it will always fail and time out.
According to the AXI4-Stream FIFO reference manual (PG080), the maximum
valid packet length is 'tx_fifo_depth - 4' words, so attempting to send
larger packets is invalid and should not be happening in the first place:
> The maximum packet that can be transmitted is limited by the size of
> the FIFO, which is (C_TX_FIFO_DEPTH–4)*(data interface width/8) bytes.
Therefore, bring back the old behavior and outright reject packets larger
than 'tx_fifo_depth - 4' with -EINVAL. Add a comment to explain why the
check is necessary. The dev_err() message was removed to avoid cluttering
the dmesg log if an invalid packet is received from userspace.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
