Packets with an unexpected HW format are currently first extracted from the RX buffer, passed upwards to the layer-specific driver and only then finally dropped. Enhance the RX path so that we can drop such packets before even allocating an skb. For this, add some additional logic so that when a packet is meant to be dropped, we can still walk along the packet's data chunks in the RX buffer. This allows us to extract the following packet(s) from the buffer. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
