Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tcp_vu, udp_vu: Account for virtio net header in minimum frame size
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:39:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212113932.1047788-3-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260212113932.1047788-1-lvivier@redhat.com>
In the vhost-user paths, the buffers provided by the virtio queue
include the virtio net header (VNET_HLEN) prepended to the Ethernet
frame. The minimum size checks using ETH_ZLEN must therefore account
for this additional header length, otherwise we underestimate the
minimum buffer size needed.
Use ETH_ZLEN + VNET_HLEN instead of bare ETH_ZLEN in vu_collect()
calls and the corresponding ASSERT() checks.
Fixes: 0cb8f9003654 ("tcp, udp: Pad batched frames for vhost-user modes to 60 bytes (802.3 minimum)")
