Subject: [PATCH net] usbnet: cap max_mtu for drivers without bind callback
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:16:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717151626.2913171-1-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit c7159e960f14 ("usbnet: limit max_mtu based on device's hard_mtu")
caps max_mtu inside the if (info->bind) block in usbnet_probe(). Drivers
without a bind callback never enter this block, so max_mtu stays at
ETH_MAX_MTU.
QEMU's usb-net device (0x0525/0xa4a2) is claimed by the cdc_subset
driver which has no bind callback. The guest accepts any MTU from DHCP
(e.g. 65520 from passt), leading to TCP segments that exceed the
device's 2048-byte receive buffer and are silently dropped.
Move the max_mtu capping after the if/else block so it applies to all
usbnet drivers.
