Subject: [PATCH net] qede: Fix out-of-bound fastpath memory access

Driver allocates a shadow array for transmitted SKBs with X entries;
That means valid indices are {0,...,X - 1}. [X == 8191]
Problem is the driver also uses X as a mask for a
producer/consumer in order to choose the right entry in the
array which allows access to entry X which is out of bounds.

To fix this, simply allocate X + 1 entries in the shadow array.

Hi Dave,

Please consider applying this to `net'.

Thanks,
Yuval
