The extra "count >= limit" check in stmmac_rx_zc() is redundant and
has no effect because the value of "count" doesn't change after the
while condition at this point.
However, it can change after "read_again:" label:
while (count < limit) {
...
if (count >= limit)
break;
read_again:
...
/* XSK pool expects RX frame 1:1 mapped to XSK buffer */
if (likely(status & rx_not_ls)) {
xsk_buff_free(buf->xdp);
buf->xdp = NULL;
dirty++;
count++;
goto read_again;
}
...
This patch addresses the same issue previously resolved in stmmac_rx()
by commit fa02de9e7588 ("net: stmmac: fix rx budget limit check").
The fix is the same: move the check after the label to ensure that it
bounds the goto loop.
Detected using the static analysis tool - Svace.

After creating the patch, I also found the previous attempt to fix this issue
from 2023, but I'm not sure what went wrong or why it wasn't applied:
