[PATCH net] lantiq: net: fix duplicated skb in rx descriptor ring

From: Aleksander Jan Bajkowski <hidden>
Date: 2021-06-06 20:07:59

The previous commit didn't fix the bug properly. By mistake, it replaces
the pointer of the next skb in the descriptor ring instead of the current
one. As a result, the two descriptors are assigned the same SKB. The error
is seen during the iperf test when skb_put tries to insert a second packet
and exceeds the available buffer.

Fixes: c7718ee96dbc ("net: lantiq: fix memory corruption in RX ring ")

I would prefer if you handle this problem in the xrx200_alloc_skb() 
function.

You could also provide the skb to xrx200_alloc_skb() and use it in case 
a problem occurs, you would loose the current received packet, but the 
DMA ring stays valid.

An other solution would be to not set LTQ_DMA_OWN, then the DMA hardware 
will not use this memory, but we have to handle it somewhere else.

I am also not sure if the wmb() is needed, the desc_base was allocated 
with dma_alloc_coherent(), I assume that the changes are directly 
written to the memory and not reordered.
