[v5,08/48] e1000e: Always copy ethernet header

Commit Message

Akihiko Odaki May 23, 2023, 2:42 a.m. UTC

e1000e_receive_internal() used to check the iov length to determine
copy the iovs to a contiguous buffer, but the check is flawed in two
ways:
- It does not ensure that iovcnt > 0.
- It does not take virtio-net header into consideration.

The size of this copy is just 18 octets, which can be even less than
the code size required for checks. This (wrong) optimization is probably
not worth so just remove it.

Fixes: 6f3fbe4ed0 ("net: Introduce e1000e device emulation")
