While processing encapsulated packet on RX, one of the fields that is checked is the inner packet length. If the length as specified in the header doesn't match the actual inner packet length, the packet is invalid and should be dropped. However, such packet caused the NIC to hang. This patch turns on a 'fail_on_error' HW bit which allows HW to drop such an invalid packet while processing RX packet and trying to decap it.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
