Subject[ 026/187] lpc_eth: add missing ndo_change_mtu()
Date
From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit e30478598a8476d02e3b00caa89ce1a3b1dad54b ]

lpc_eth does a copy of transmitted skbs to DMA area, without checking
skb lengths, so can trigger buffer overflows :

memcpy(pldat->tx_buff_v + txidx * ENET_MAXF_SIZE, skb->data, len);

One way to get bigger skbs is to allow MTU changes above the 1500 limit.

Calling eth_change_mtu() in ndo_change_mtu() makes sure this cannot
happen.
