[PATCH net-next v3 1/7] net: axienet: fix RX ring refill allocation failure handling

[Robert Hancock]

If a memory allocation error occurred during an attempt to refill a slot
in the RX ring after the packet was received, the hardware tail pointer
would still have been updated to point to or past the slot which remained
marked as previously completed. This would likely result in the DMA engine
raising an error when it eventually tried to use that slot again.

If a slot cannot be refilled, then just stop processing and do not move
the tail pointer past it. On the next attempt, we should skip receiving
the packet from the empty slot and just try to refill it again.

This failure mode has not actually been observed, but was found as part
of other driver updates.

Fixes: 8a3b7a252dca ("drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx: added Xilinx AXI Ethernet driver")
