Subject: Re: [PATCH net v8 3/4] net/smc: bound the send length to the send buffer in smc_tx_sendmsg()

> conn->sndbuf_space can run past the send buffer. After an SMC-R link
> failover, a late completion from the old link can move tx_curs_fin back,
> and the next completion credits the same bytes again; across the ring
> end, smc_curs_diff() credits the step back itself as more than a whole
> ring, so even with a conforming peer sndbuf_space can reach three times
> the buffer. The failover catch-up and SMC-D DMB merge (only the loopback
> device today) also credit it from the peer's consumer cursor without a
> bound. smc_tx_sendmsg() takes it as the write space, and the second
> chunk of its copy writes past the send buffer.
>
> Clamp writespace, which sizes the copy, to sndbuf_desc->len, negative
> values included, so the copy stays in the send buffer.

> Fixes: c6f02ebeea3a ("net/smc: switch connections to alternate link")
> Fixes: cc0ab806fc52 ("net/smc: adapt cursor update when sndbuf and peer DMB are merged")
> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
