[ Upstream commit 2b3c688538 ]
There have been reports of oversize UDP packets being sent to the
driver to be transmitted, causing error conditions. The issue is
likely caused by the dst of the SKB switching between 'lo' with
64K MTU and the hardware device with a smaller MTU. Patches are
being proposed by Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> to fix the
issue.
In the meantime, add a quick length check in the driver to prevent
the error. The driver uses the TX packet size as index to look up an
array to setup the TX BD. The array is large enough to support all MTU
sizes supported by the driver. The oversize TX packet causes the
driver to index beyond the array and put garbage values into the
TX BD. Add a simple check to prevent this.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
