Thanks for your feedback.
I tried to reproduce it on my side, and it cannot be reproduce it.
Here are my test sequences:
1. emulate one of the vhub port to usb ethernet through Linux gadget (ncm)
2. connect BMC vhub to Host
3. BMC & Host can ping each other (both usb eth dev default mtu is 1500)
4. Set BMC mtu to 1000 (Host OS cannot set usb eth dev mtu to 2000, it's maxmtu is 1500)
5. ping BMC with `s -1500` argument from Host OS
6. BMC kernel no oops

I dumped the `req` related members in ast_vhub_epn_handle_ack() to see if whether the received data length exceeds the buffer length.
In my case `req.length` is 16384 bytes, so it never exceeds it in this case.
I'm wondering what's the value of `req.length` in your test scenario? And how can I reproduce it?
Thanks
