Subject: [PATCH net] igc: only strip RX timestamp header from first buffer
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 23:55:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825235530.3278670-1-p@1g4.org> (raw)

igc_clean_rx_irq() strips IGC_TS_HDR_LEN whenever a descriptor reports
IGC_RXDADV_STAT_TSIP. For multi-buffer packets, continuation descriptors
retain TSIP even though the inline timestamp is present only in the first
RX buffer.

Subtracting the header length from each continuation buffer truncates
jumbo packets by 16 bytes per continuation and leaves the packet length
larger than the received data.

Only consume the timestamp header when skb is NULL, which identifies the
first buffer of a new packet. An skb carried in rx_ring->skb remains
non-NULL when packet assembly resumes in a later NAPI poll.
