Fix this by relocating the RX skb ringbuffer free operation, so that swiotlb page unmapping can be done first. Freeing of aligned TX buffers is not relevant to the issue seen in [1]. Still, reposition TX free calls as well, to have all kfree() operations performed consistently _after_ dma_unmap_*()/dma_free_*().
