Subject: [PATCH 4.4 20/99] arcnet: provide a buffer big enough to actually receive packets

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@...gutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 108639aac35eb57f1d0e8333f5fc8c7ff68df938 ]

struct archdr is only big enough to hold the header of various types of
arcnet packets. So to provide enough space to hold the data read from
hardware provide a buffer large enough to hold a packet with maximal
size.

The problem was noticed by the stack protector which makes the kernel
oops.
