qlcnic: dont assume NET_IP_ALIGN is 2
qlcnic driver allocates rx skbs and gives to hardware too bytes of extra storage, allowing for corruption of kernel data. NET_IP_ALIGN being 0 on some platforms (including x86), drivers should not assume it's 2. rds_ring->skb_size = rds_ring->dma_size + NET_IP_ALIGN; ... skb = dev_alloc_skb(rds_ring->skb_size); skb_reserve(skb, 2); pci_map_single(pdev, skb->data, rds_ring->dma_size, PCI_DMA_FROMDEVICE); (and rds_ring->skb_size == rds_ring->dma_size) -> bug Because of extra alignment (1500 + 32) -> four extra bytes are available before the struct skb_shared_info, so corruption is not noticed. Note: this driver could use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
