From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently when the rx_size is too large the intended error -EINVAL is not being returned as this is being assigned to result rather than rx_skb. Fix this be setting rx_skb to ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) so that the error is returned in rx_skb as originally intended.
