Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/21/23. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/d4eebaf47c552011149a6fda7e7cf2dd7dfd4a2c

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix multi-segment Tx inline data length

[ upstream commit e3c7bb56b4583ccb1304219f52639d898727e65d ]

If packet data length exceeds the configured limit for packet
to be inlined in the queue descriptor the driver checks if hardware
requires to do minimal data inline or the VLAN insertion offload is
requested and not supported in hardware (that means we have to do VLAN
insertion in software with inline data). Then driver scans the mbuf
chain to find the minimal segment amount to satisfy the data needed
for minimal inline.

There was incorrect first segment inline data length calculation
with missing VLAN header being inserted, that could lead to the
segmentation fault in the mbuf chain scanning, for example for
the packets:

  packet:
    mbuf0 pkt_len = 288, data_len = 156
    mbuf1 pkt_len = 132, data_len = 132

  txq->inlen_send = 290

The driver was trying to reach the inlen_send inline data length
with missing VLAN header length added and was running out of the
mbuf chain (there were just not enough data in the packet to satisfy
the criteria).

Fixes: 18a1c20044c0 ("net/mlx5: implement Tx burst template")
Fixes: ec837ad0fc7c ("net/mlx5: fix multi-segment inline for the first segments")
