[PATCH net-next v7] hv_netvsc: fix netvsc_send_completion to avoid multiple message length checks

From: Sonia Sharma
Date: Mon Oct 09 2023 - 04:00:26 EST


From: Sonia Sharma <sonia.sharma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The switch statement in netvsc_send_completion() is incorrectly validating
the length of incoming network packets by falling through to the next case.
Avoid the fallthrough. Instead break after a case match and then process
the complete() call.
The current code has not caused any known failures. But nonetheless, the
code should be corrected as a different ordering of the switch cases might
cause a length check to fail when it should not.
