asix: fix BUG in receive path when lowering MTU
There is bug in the receive path of the asix driver at the time a
packet is received larger than MTU size and DF bit set:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000004000000001
IP: [<ffffffff8126f65b>] skb_release_head_state+0x2d/0xd2
...
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
[<ffffffff8126f86d>] ? skb_release_all+0x9/0x1e
[<ffffffff8126f8ad>] ? __kfree_skb+0x9/0x6f
[<ffffffffa00b4200>] ? asix_rx_fixup_internal+0xff/0x1ae [asix]
[<ffffffffa00fb3dc>] ? usbnet_bh+0x4f/0x226 [usbnet]
...
It is easily reproducable by setting an MTU of 512 e. g. and sending
something like
ping -s 1472 -c 1 -M do $SELF
from another box.
And this is because the rx->ax_skb is freed on error, but rx->ax_skb
is not reset, and the size is not reset to zero in this case.
And since the skb is added again to the usbnet->done skb queue it is
accessing already freed memory, resulting in the BUG when freeing a
2nd time. I therefore think the value 0x0000004000000001 show in the
trace is more or less random data.
