Jesse Brandeburg 9926146b15 e1000/e1000e: don't use small hardware rx buffers ... When testing the "e1000: enhance frame fragment detection" (and e1000e) patches we found some bugs with reducing the MTU size. The 1024 byte descriptor used with the 1000 mtu test also (re) introduced the (originally) reported bug, and causes us to need the e1000_clean_tx_irq "enhance frame fragment detection" fix. So what has occured here is that 2.6.32 is only vulnerable for mtu < 1500 due to the jumbo specific routines in both e1000 and e1000e. So, 2.6.32 needs the 2kB buffer len fix for those smaller MTUs, but is not vulnerable to the original issue reported. It has been pointed out that this vulnerability needs to be patched in older kernels that don't have the e1000 jumbo routine. Without the jumbo routines, we need the "enhance frame fragment detection" fix the e1000, old e1000e is only vulnerable for < 1500 mtu, and needs a similar fix. We split the patches up to provide easy backport paths. There is only a slight bit of extra code when this fix and the original "enhance frame fragment detection" fixes are applied, so please apply both, even though it is a bit of overkill.
