4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
commit cd9e2e5d3ff148be9ea210f622ce3e8e8292fcd6 upstream.
In testing with HiKey, we found that since
commit 3f30b158eba5 ("asix: On RX avoid creating bad Ethernet
frames"),
we're seeing lots of noise during network transfers:
[ 239.027993] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988
[ 239.037310] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x54ebb5ec, offset 4
[ 239.045519] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0xcdffe7a2, offset 4
[ 239.275044] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988
[ 239.284355] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x1d36f59d, offset 4
[ 239.292541] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0xaef3c1e9, offset 4
[ 239.518996] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Data Header synchronisation was lost, remaining 988
[ 239.528300] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x2881912, offset 4
[ 239.536413] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x5638f7e2, offset 4
And network throughput ends up being pretty bursty and slow with
a overall throughput of at best ~30kB/s (where as previously we
got 1.1MB/s with the slower USB1.1 "full speed" host).
We found the issue also was reproducible on a x86_64 system,
using a "high-speed" USB2.0 port but the throughput did not
measurably drop (possibly due to the scp transfer being cpu
bound on my slow test hardware).
After lots of debugging, I found the check added in the
problematic commit seems to be calculating the offset
incorrectly.
In the normal case, in the main loop of the function, we do:
(where offset is zero, or set to "offset += (copy_length + 1) &
0xfffe" in the previous loop)
rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data +
offset);
offset += sizeof(u32);
But the problematic patch calculates:
offset = ((rx->remaining + 1) & 0xfffe) + sizeof(u32);
rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data + offset);
Adding some debug logic to check those offset calculation used
to find rx->header, the one in problematic code is always too
large by sizeof(u32).
Thus, this patch removes the incorrect " + sizeof(u32)" addition
in the problematic calculation, and resolves the issue.
