Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v2] e1000e: fix Tx descriptor field wrapping
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 13:02:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028170239.28606-1-tactii@gmail.com> (raw)

When an skb arrives at the driver and the header length exceeds the u8
hdr_len, tucss and tucso fields in e1000_context_desc, wrapped values
are sent to the card. If TSO is enabled, some header lengths will cause
the card to hang.

This was reproduced on an I218-V with an unprivileged Python script.

Fix it by disabling GSO and checksum offload when the header length (and
checksum offset) would exceed the field widths. Compensate for a
software-inserted VLAN tag.

Because of a quirk in the ordering of ndo_features_check, the skb's
transport_header field may be stale. If the skb carries
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, use csum_start to find the header. Otherwise, there's
no reliable interface, so don't offload it.
