> In DMAengine flow, AXI DMA driver invokes callback before freeing BD in
> irq handling path.
> In Rx callback (axienet_dma_rx_cb()), axienet driver tries to allocate
> new BD after processing skb.
> This will be problematic if both AXI-DMA and AXI ethernet have same
> BD count as all Rx BDs will be allocated initially and it won't be
> able to allocate new one after Rx irq. Incrementing head pointer w/o
> checking for BD allocation will result in garbage values in skb BD and
> cause the below kernel crash:
