From 6c15d74defd38e7e7f8805392578b7a1d508097e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aurelien Jacobs Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2012 12:15:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] asix: fix infinite loop in rx_fixup() At this point if skb->len happens to be 2, the subsequant skb_pull(skb, 4) call won't work and the skb->len won't be decreased and won't ever reach 0, resulting in an infinite loop. With an ASIX 88772 under heavy load, without this patch, rx_fixup() reaches an infinite loop in less than a minute. With this patch applied, no infinite loop even after hours of heavy load.
