[PATCH net] vmxnet3: fix BUG_ON in vmxnet3_get_hdr_len() for Geneve packets

From: Harshaka Narayana <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-07 16:55:04
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, vmware vmxnet3 ethernet driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Ronak Doshi

When rcd->tcp is set based on the inner TCP header of a
Geneve-encapsulated packet that exceeds MTU and is non-LRO, the driver
hits BUG_ON(hdr.ipv4->protocol != IPPROTO_TCP) in vmxnet3_get_hdr_len()
because the outer IPv4 protocol is UDP (Geneve), not TCP.

Convert this BUG_ON to return 0, letting the caller's existing hlen == 0
check skip the LRO path gracefully. Also convert the preceding
BUG_ON(gdesc->rcd.tcp == 0) assertion to return 0 defensively.

Fixes: 45dac1d6ea04 ("vmxnet3: Changes for vmxnet3 adapter version 2 (fwd)")
