[PATCH 0/1] net/ena/base: bug fix for 23.11 stable only

[shaibran]

From: Shai Brandes <shaibran@amazon.com>

Hi, the fix is for a bug that was introduced in 23.11.

The fix was already merged into 24.03 indirectly as part of c8a1898f82f8 ("net/ena: improve style and readability")
and the entire function was later restructured in patch bcb1753156ac ("net/ena/base: modify customer metrics memory management").

Meaning, this issue is indirectly fixed going forward, but we need to introduce a dedicated fix for 23.11 stable only.
I CC'ed also dev mailing list since this involves Bugzilla bug fix.

All the best,
Shai

[PATCH 1/1] net/ena/base: fix metrics excessive memory consumption

[shaibran]

From: Shai Brandes <shaibran@amazon.com>

[ upstream commit c8a1898f82f8c04cbe1d3e2d0eec0705386c23f7 ]

The driver accidentally allocates a huge memory
buffer for the customer metrics because it uses
an uninitialized variable for the buffer length.
This can lead to excessive memory footprint for
the driver which can even fail to initialize in
case of insufficient memory.

Sorry in advance in case this is not the correct procedure.
