Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/9] net: stmmac: descs: fix buffer 1 off-by-one error
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:36:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1vdtvs-00000002Gtb-2U9G@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aV_q2Kneinrk3Z-W@shell.armlinux.org.uk>
norm_set_tx_desc_len_on_ring() incorrectly tests the buffer length,
leading to a length of 2048 being squeezed into a bitfield covering
bits 10:0 - which results in the buffer 1 size being zero.
If this field is zero, buffer 1 is ignored, and thus is equivalent to
transmitting a zero length buffer.
The path to norm_set_tx_desc_len_on_ring() is only possible when the
hardware does not support enhanced descriptors (plat->enh_desc clear)
which is dependent on the hardware.
