pkelsey accepted D33189: vmxnet3: skip zero-length descriptor in the middle of a packet.
In D33189#750472, @avg wrote:

I thought a bit about gracefully handling too many (non-empty) fragments for a packet.
My only concern is what happens if we abort after seeing SOP and before reaching EOP.
Might that confuse the next call to vmxnet3_isc_rxd_available / vmxnet3_isc_rxd_pkt_get?

pkelsey accepted D33189: vmxnet3: skip zero-length descriptor in the middle of a packet.

We can only guess as to what may be really going on in the virtual device, but this seems like a correct defensive approach to what has been observed. Given the data at https://people.freebsd.org/~avg/vmxnet3-fragment-overrun.txt (thanks for collecting this!), I was concerned that there might be an issue with the fact that the virtual device is consuming free list entries for the zero-length fragments, but we are hiding this information from iflib, and that might break free list maintenance. I reviewed those paths, and it's fine (iflib tracks and replaces packet mbufs sent to the stack via a bitmap, provides the corresponding free list indexes to the driver during refill, and during refill, the vmx driver correctly identifies and handles gaps in those provided indexes).

I get it, but that (totally arbitrary) limit is a pet peeve of mine. Its one of those things that you follow up several levels of code to an "XXX" comment and an arbitrary value. Its like reading a mystery novel and finding the butler really did do it.

And, to be honest, you already have the sysctl, If the user already has to touch something for decent performance, let's just have him set the budget to 65535 rather than making the running code even more complex.

The reason why I am asking is, I am trying to understand if we actually *can* get into the situation with overrun, I got the impression the zfs on disk format should keep things sector aligned, but it really is easy to get confused there... And it does feel safer if we do have proper checks in place.

If the zfs on-disk format keeps things sector-aligned / sector-multiple, then why was vdev_read complicated with code to handle non-sector aligned / non-sector multiple reads to begin with?

Yea, you are right:)
