Subject: CVE-2023-52834: atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue

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

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

atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue

This is based on alx driver commit 881d0327db37 ("net: alx: Work around
the DMA RX overflow issue").

The alx and atl1c drivers had RX overflow error which was why a custom
allocator was created to avoid certain addresses. The simpler workaround
then created for alx driver, but not for atl1c due to lack of tester.

Instead of using a custom allocator, check the allocated skb address and
use skb_reserve() to move away from problematic 0x...fc0 address.

Tested on AR8131 on Acer 4540.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52834 to this issue.

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:
