The ethernet name should be within the ETH_NAME_LEN, as this is the buffer space allocated to ethernet name.
Otherwise, this causes buffer overflow. At the same time the 16 char ethernet name size is inadequate to hold the name of ethernet "DPMAC17@rgmii-id", which is a valid name in upcoming LX2160AQDS/LX2160ARDB boards. These patches try to solve the above two issues: 1. first patch honors the limit imposed by ETH_NAME_LEN on ethernet name 2. second patch increases this limit to accommodate the requirements of LX2160AQDS/LX2160ARDB Cc: Varun Sethi <v.se...@nxp.com> Pankaj Bansal (2): fsl/mc: Limit the ethernet name to ETH_NAME_LEN net: Increase ethernet name string size to 20 chars drivers/net/fsl-mc/mc.c | 6 +++--- drivers/net/ldpaa_eth/ldpaa_eth.c | 4 ++-- include/net.h | 2 +- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1 _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
