[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/2] rtl8139: Fix receive buffer overflow check

[Vladislav Yasevich]

rtl8139_do_receive() tries to check for the overflow condition
by making sure that packet_size + 8 does not exceed the
available buffer space.  The issue here is that RxBuffAddr,
used to calculate available buffer space, is aligned to a
a 4 byte boundry after every update.  So it is possible that
every packet ends up being slightly padded when written
to the receive buffer.  This padding is not taken into
account when checking for overflow and we may end up missing
the overflow condition can causing buffer overwrite.

This patch takes alignment into consideration when
checking for overflow condition.
