[PATCH net v3 0/2] octeon_ep, octeon_ep_vf: fix skb frags overflow in the RX path

From: Maoyi Xie

Date: Sat Jul 04 2026 - 02:15:23 EST


Both octeon_ep and octeon_ep_vf build an skb for a multi-buffer RX packet
by adding one fragment per buffer_size chunk of a device-reported length.
Neither bounds the count against MAX_SKB_FRAGS. A long packet yields about
18 fragments, one past the default MAX_SKB_FRAGS of 17, so
skb_add_rx_frag() writes past shinfo->frags[].

Each driver now checks the fragment count before it builds the skb and
drops a packet that would not fit.

v3:
- octeon_ep_vf: pull the drop drain into octep_vf_oq_drop_rx().
The overflow drop and the napi_build_skb failure path both use it.
Suggested by Maciej Fijalkowski.
- octeon_ep: add Maciej's Reviewed-by.
