The RX buffer poison needs to be refreshed, if we recycle an RX buffer, because it might be (partially) overwritten by some DMA operations. Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: Francesco Gringoli <francesco.gringoli@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@xxxxxxxxx> --- Francesco, please stresstest this on top of the other patch that adds poisoning. John, please queue as bugfix.
