Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: xilinx: axienet: Fix BQL accounting for multi-BD TX packets
When a TX packet spans multiple buffer descriptors (scatter-gather),
axienet_free_tx_chain sums the per-BD actual length from descriptor
status into a caller-provided accumulator. That sum is reset on each
NAPI poll. If the BDs for a single packet complete across different
polls, the earlier bytes are lost and never credited to BQL. This
causes BQL to think bytes are permanently in-flight, eventually
stalling the TX queue.
The SKB pointer is stored only on the last BD of a packet. When that
BD completes, use skb->len for the byte count instead of summing
per-BD status lengths. This matches netdev_sent_queue(), which debits
skb->len, and naturally survives across polls because no partial
packet contributes to the accumulator.
