From b3c3e7d7d9795df16012d5c60e5f789e7fade311 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francois Romieu Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 23:11:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] via-velocity: fix memory corruption when changing the mtu velocity_rx_refill() only replenishes the descriptor entries which belong to the CPU. It works great in the Rx path but the driver must ensure that all the descriptors are freed before velocity_rx_refill() is used in velocity_change_mtu(). The patch resets the Rx descriptors in velocity_free_rd_ring().
