Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] virtio_net: clamp rss_max_key_size to NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 09:19:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408131906.1087303-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026040855-hatless-marbled-c4ed@gregkh>
From: Srujana Challa <schalla@marvell.com>
[ Upstream commit b4e5f04c58a29c499faa85d12952ca9a4faf1cb9 ]
rss_max_key_size in the virtio spec is the maximum key size supported by
the device, not a mandatory size the driver must use. Also the value 40
is a spec minimum, not a spec maximum.
The current code rejects RSS and can fail probe when the device reports a
larger rss_max_key_size than the driver buffer limit. Instead, clamp the
effective key length to min(device rss_max_key_size, NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN)
and keep RSS enabled.
This keeps probe working on devices that advertise larger maximum key sizes
while respecting the netdev RSS key buffer size limit.
Fixes: 3f7d9c1964fc ("virtio_net: Add hash_key_length check")
