mlxsw: pci: Recycle received packet upon allocation failure
commit 75963576 upstream. When the driver fails to allocate a new Rx buffer, it passes an empty Rx descriptor (contains zero address and size) to the device and marks it as invalid by setting the skb pointer in the descriptor's metadata to NULL. After processing enough Rx descriptors, the driver will try to process the invalid descriptor, but will return immediately seeing that the skb pointer is NULL. Since the driver no longer passes new Rx descriptors to the device, the Rx queue will eventually become full and the device will start to drop packets. Fix this by recycling the received packet if allocation of the new packet failed. This means that allocation is no longer performed at the end of the Rx routine, but at the start, before tearing down the DMA mapping of the received packet. Remove the comment about the descriptor being zeroed as it is no longer correct. This is OK because we either use the descriptor as-is (when recycling) or overwrite its address and size fields with that of the newly allocated Rx buffer. The issue was discovered when a process ("perf") consumed too much memory and put the system under memory pressure. It can be reproduced by injecting slab allocation failures [1]. After the fix, the Rx queue no longer comes to a halt.
