Subject: ixgbe: fix crash in build_skb Rx code path
From: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0c5661ecc5dd7ce296870a3eb7b62b1b280a5e89 upstream.
Add check for build_skb enabled ring in ixgbe_dma_sync_frag().
In that case &skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[0] may not always be set which
can lead to a crash. Instead we derive the page offset from skb->data.
Fixes: 42073d91a214 ("ixgbe: Have the CPU take ownership of the buffers sooner")
