[PATCH 4.9 22/71] xen/netfront: tolerate frags with no data

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 07 2019 - 08:07:41 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d81c5054a5d1d4999c7cdead7636b6cd4af83d36 ]

At least old Xen net backends seem to send frags with no real data
sometimes. In case such a fragment happens to occur with the frag limit
already reached the frontend will BUG currently even if this situation
is easily recoverable.

Modify the BUG_ON() condition accordingly.
