[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 088/107] net: hns3: pad the short frame before sending to the hardware

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2020-01-24 14:32:55
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: hisilicon network subsystem 3 driver (hns3), hisilicon network subsystem driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jian Shen, Jijie Shao, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Yunsheng Lin <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 36c67349a1a1c88b9cf11d7ca7762ababdb38867 ]

The hardware can not handle short frames below or equal to 32
bytes according to the hardware user manual, and it will trigger
a RAS error when the frame's length is below 33 bytes.

This patch pads the SKB when skb->len is below 33 bytes before
sending it to hardware.
