When using 16K DMA buffers and ring mode, the DES3 refill is not working
correctly as the function is using a bogus pointer for checking the
private data. As a result stale pointers will remain in the RX descriptor
ring, so DMA will now likely overwrite/corrupt some already freed memory.
As simple reproducer, just receive some UDP traffic:
# ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000; ifconfig eth0 up
# iperf3 -c 192.168.253.40 -u -b 0 -R
If you didn't crash by now check the RX descriptors to find non-contiguous
RX buffers:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/stmmaceth/eth0/descriptors_status
[...]
1 [0x2be5020]: 0xa3220321 0x9ffc1ffc 0x72d70082 0x130e207e
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2 [0x2be5040]: 0xa3220321 0x9ffc1ffc 0x72998082 0x1311a07e
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A simple ping test will now report bad data:
# ping -s 8200 192.168.253.40
PING 192.168.253.40 (192.168.253.40) 8200(8228) bytes of data.
8208 bytes from 192.168.253.40: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.00 ms
wrong data byte #8144 should be 0xd0 but was 0x88
Fix the wrong pointer. Also we must refill DES3 only if the DMA buffer
size is 16K.

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.
