Subject: CVE-2021-47015: bnxt_en: Fix RX consumer index logic in the error path.

From: gregkh@...nel.org

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bnxt_en: Fix RX consumer index logic in the error path.

In bnxt_rx_pkt(), the RX buffers are expected to complete in order.
If the RX consumer index indicates an out of order buffer completion,
it means we are hitting a hardware bug and the driver will abort all
remaining RX packets and reset the RX ring.  The RX consumer index
that we pass to bnxt_discard_rx() is not correct.  We should be
passing the current index (tmp_raw_cons) instead of the old index
(raw_cons).  This bug can cause us to be at the wrong index when
trying to abort the next RX packet.  It can crash like this:

 #1 [ffff9bbcdf5c3a00] __crash_kexec at ffffffff9b111232

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
