[PATCH net v2 2/2] net: mana: Validate the packet length reported by the NIC

From: Dexuan Cui

Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 18:27:57 EST


Validate the packet length reported in the RX CQE before using it as a DMA
sync length or passing it to skb processing. The CQE is supplied by the
NIC device and should not be blindly trusted.
