Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 046/110] igb: Fix oops on changing number of rings

3.16.7-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@....ntt.co.jp>

commit c0a06ee185f2b785c7bd44c4fb6fcae80f7d1a54 upstream.

When changing the number of rings by ethtool -L, q_vectors are reused,
which causes oops because of uninitialized pointers.

- When an rx is reused as a tx, q_vector->rx.ring is not set to NULL, which
  misleads igb_poll() to determine that it has an rx ring although it
  actually points to the tx ring.
- When a tx is reused as an rx, q_vector->rx.ring->skb
  (q_vector->ring[0].skb) has a value that was used as tx_stats before.

Fix these problems by zeroing it out on reuseing it.

Fixes: 02ef6e1d0b00 ("igb: Fix queue allocation method to accommodate changing during runtime")
