This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-bluefield/5.4.0-1068.74
kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and
update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the

problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to
'verification-failed-focal'.

Title:
  mlxbf-tmfifo: robust fix to drop over-sized packet or no Rx
  descriptors

Status in linux-bluefield package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux-bluefield source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux-bluefield source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  [Impact]
  This change is needed to avoid potential tmfifo console stuck when network 
interface is down or receiving oversized packets.

  [Fix]
  Drop the Rx packets in the above cases. Since tmfifo is shared resource for 
both console and networking. Dropping such network packets can continue to 
process the fifo and avoid console stuck.

  [Test Case]
  Same functionality and testing as on BlueField-1/2/3. No functionality change.
  Add negative tests:
  1. 'ifconfig tmfifo_net0 down' on ARM side during traffic, then verify rshim 
console doesn't stuck.
  2. Config MTU to 4000 on rshim host and send oversized packet with command 
'ping 192.168.100.2 -s 2000". It shouldn't cause any stuck.

  [Regression Potential]
  Same behavior from user perspective.
