Subject: [PATCH stable 0/2] virtio-net: backport error handling bugfix

Error handling for virtio-net mergeable buffers was broken
for a long time. Backport recent bugfix to a stable
kernel.

Please note that it's really a single patch split out in two for ease of
review: if we apply 1/2 only the code is correct but ugly and confusing, so I
think it's best to backport both patches 1/2 and 2/2 same as upstream has them.

Please review and consider for stable.

Michael S. Tsirkin (2):
  virtio_net: fix error handling for mergeable buffers
  virtio-net: make all RX paths handle erors consistently
