Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue<br />
<br />
This is based on alx driver commit 881d0327db37 ("net: alx: Work around<br />
the DMA RX overflow issue").<br />
<br />
The alx and atl1c drivers had RX overflow error which was why a custom<br />
allocator was created to avoid certain addresses. The simpler workaround<br />
then created for alx driver, but not for atl1c due to lack of tester.<br />
<br />
Instead of using a custom allocator, check the allocated skb address and<br />
use skb_reserve() to move away from problematic 0x...fc0 address.<br />
<br />
Tested on AR8131 on Acer 4540.
