Jakub Kicinski d2dced26bc Merge branch 'net-enetc-fix-command-bd-ring-issues'
Wei Fang says:

====================
net: enetc: fix command BD ring issues

Currently, the implementation of command BD ring has two issues, one is
that the driver may obtain wrong consumer index of the ring, because the
driver does not mask out the SBE bit of the CIR value, so a wrong index
will be obtained when a SBE error ouccrs. The other one is that the DMA
buffer may be used after free. If netc_xmit_ntmp_cmd() times out and
returns an error, the pending command is not explicitly aborted, while
ntmp_free_data_mem() unconditionally frees the DMA buffer. If the buffer
has already been reallocated elsewhere, this may lead to silent memory
corruption. Because the hardware eventually processes the pending command
and perform a DMA write of the response to the physical address of the
freed buffer. So this patch set is to fix these two issues.
