Subject: hyperv: Fix the total_data_buflen in send path
From: Haiyang Zhang <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 942396b01989d54977120f3625e5ba31afe7a75c ]
total_data_buflen is used by netvsc_send() to decide if a packet can be put
into send buffer. It should also include the size of RNDIS message before the
Ethernet frame. Otherwise, a messge with total size bigger than
send_section_size
may be copied into the send buffer, and cause data corruption.
[Request to include this patch to the Stable branches]
