__octep_oq_process_rx() builds an skb for a multi-buffer packet by adding
one fragment per buffer_size chunk:
data_len = buff_info->len - oq->max_single_buffer_size;
while (data_len) {
...
skb_add_rx_frag(skb, shinfo->nr_frags, buff_info->page, 0,
buff_info->len, buff_info->len);
...
}
buff_info->len comes from the device response header
(be64_to_cpu(resp_hw->length)). Nothing bounds the fragment count against
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. data_len can be close to 65535. buffer_size defaults to
about 3776 on 4K pages, so a full packet yields about 18 fragments. That
is one more than the default MAX_SKB_FRAGS of 17, so skb_add_rx_frag()
writes past shinfo->frags[].
The fragment count is now checked before build_skb(). A packet that needs
more fragments than the skb can hold is dropped. octep_oq_drop_rx()
consumes its descriptors like the build_skb failure path. The same class
was fixed in other RX paths, including commit 5ffcb7b890f6 ("net: atlantic:
fix fragment overflow handling in RX path") and commit f0813bcd2d9d ("net:
wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX path").

__octep_vf_oq_process_rx() has the same unbounded fragment loop as the PF
driver. buff_info->len comes from the device response header, and one
fragment is added per buffer_size chunk with no check against
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. A long packet yields about 18 fragments, one past the
default MAX_SKB_FRAGS of 17, so skb_add_rx_frag() writes past
shinfo->frags[].
The fragment count is now checked before napi_build_skb(). A packet that
needs more fragments than the skb can hold is dropped.
octep_vf_oq_drop_rx() drains its descriptors. The napi_build_skb()
failure path now uses the same helper.
