Hi Jakub,

I agree. We can do something like:

diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c b/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c
index e81dfaf99bcb..6d84533d1df2 100644

 }
 

I do not know if it can occur, but I guess we should even check q->rx_head
pointer before overwriting it because if the hw does not report more set to
false for last fragment we will get a memory leak as well. Something like:
