[PATCH 08/10] dp8393x: Implement packet size limit and RBAE interrupt


From: Finn Thain
Subject: [PATCH 08/10] dp8393x: Implement packet size limit and RBAE interrupt
Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2019 12:25:57 +1100

Add a bounds check to prevent a large packet from causing a buffer
overflow. This is defensive programming -- I haven't actually tried
sending an oversized packet or a jumbo ethernet frame.

The SONIC handles packets that are too big for the buffer by raising
the RBAE interrupt and dropping them. Linux uses that interrupt to
count dropped packets.

QEMU passes short packets to dp8393x_receive(). But a real SONIC rejects
packets shorter than 64 bytes.

For dp8393x, the effective limit is 60 bytes because packets passed to
dp8393x_receive() lack a frame checksum. However, even 60 bytes proved
too high and blocked ARP packets when I tried it.

So the SONIC's mechanism for detecting runt packets (the RNT bit in the
RCR register) remains unimplemented in dp8393x (i.e. they are still
accepted).

This packet length issue may have implications for guests that depend on
the chip honouring the packet length threshold set in the EOBC register.
