https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D270964 Bug ID: 270964 Summary: iflib/ice(4): invalid sized packet sent via netmap triggers MDD Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: brian90013@gmail.com Hello, We recently saw a machine with Intel E810 cards stop transmitting and start printing "Malicious Driver Detection Tx Descriptor check event 'Packet too small or too big'" to the console. Some investigation showed a user applica= tion was incorrectly building packets over 9724 bytes and passing them via netma= p to the ice driver. We quickly avoided the MDD event by fixing the user application. However, I= was surprised there appears to be no length checking when using netmap with ifl= ib drivers. Looking at iflib_netmap_txsync(), it assembles the set of fragments composi= ng a packet and passes them to ctx->isc_txd_encap() aka ice_ift_txd_encap(). That function has an int return value and seems like an excellent place to compa= re the total packet length (in pi->ipi_len) against ICE_MAX_FRAME_SIZE. (In fa= ct the ixl driver does this with MPASS().) The issue is iflib_netmap_txsync() ignores the return code and always increments the nic_i pointer. I have made several attempts to modify this function to handle failures from isc_txd_encap but none have passed all my tests. I wonder if there is a reasonable way to modify iflib_netmap_txsync() to dr= op fragments if isc_txd_encap returns an error code? I realize this code is in= the fast path and should be kept to a minimum. However, this change would let t= he ice driver (and other iflib users) inspect packet sizes, avoid this class of MDD events, and keep the interface up and running. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
