Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] Fix crash caused by reporting inconsistent skb->len to BQL

From: Sean Wang <sean.wang@...iatek.com>

The series fixes kernel BUG caused by inconsistent SKB length reported
into BQL. The reason for inconsistent length comes from hardware BUG which
results in different port number carried on the TXD within the lifecycle of
SKB. So patch 2) is proposed for use a software way to track which port
the SKB involving instead of hardware way. And patch 1) is given for another
issue I found which causes TXD and SKB inconsistency that is not expected
in the initial logic, so it is also being corrected it in the series.

The log for the kernel BUG caused by the issue is shown as below.
