[PATCH 2/3] korina: add error-handling to korina_alloc_ring

From: Phil Sutter <hidden>
Date: 2009-08-09 00:06:37
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

This also avoids a potential buffer overflow in case the very first
receive descriptor fails to allocate, as an index of -1 would be used
afterwards. Kudos to Roel Kluin for pointing this out and providing an
initial patch.
