From de5b69491fdd95bd7d997a4b7c2972bd3ceb1101 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Vivier Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 15:10:26 +0100 Subject: tcp_vu: vu_pad() expects l2 length tcp_vu_hdrlen() returns a length that includes VNET_HLEN (the virtio net header), but vu_pad() expects the Layer-2 frame length, which should not include the virtio header. Passing the inflated length means short frames aren't padded to the minimum 60-byte Ethernet frame size (ETH_ZLEN). Subtract VNET_HLEN from hdrlen when computing the l2 length passed to vu_pad() in both tcp_vu_send_flag() and tcp_vu_data_from_sock().
