Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 19.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 05/21/20. 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.

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix possible stack smashing

[ upstream commit 6ebabb76a57c02681a01e07bf8016e4308c14c7c ]

We see a stack smashing as a result of defensive code missing. Once the
nb_pkts is less than RTE_BNXT_DESCS_PER_LOOP, it will be modified to
zero after doing a floor align, and we can not exit the following
receiving packets loop. And the buffers will be overwrite, then the
stack frame was ruined.

Fix the problem by adding defensive code, once the nb_pkts is zero, just
directly return with no packets.

Fixes: bc4a000f2f53 ("net/bnxt: implement SSE vector mode")
