Subject: [PATCH v3,net] virtio_net: Improve RSS key size validation
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:33:40 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212130340.3540415-1-schalla@marvell.com> (raw)
Replace hardcoded RSS max key size limit with a type based definition.
Add validation for RSS key size against spec minimum (40 bytes). When
validation fails, gracefully disable RSS features and continue
initialization rather than failing completely.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 3f7d9c1964fc ("virtio_net: Add hash_key_length check")
Signed-off-by: Srujana Challa <schalla@marvell.com>
v3:
- Moved RSS key validation checks to virtnet_validate.
- Add fixes: tag and CC -stable
