Again this is confusing/wrong, or at least not a complete fix...

...as we have 

        index = rx_queue->page_remove & rx_queue->page_ptr_mask;
	page = rx_queue->page_ring[index];
		
in ef4_reuse_page, and similar problems in other places, including

        for (i = 0; i <= rx_queue->page_ptr_mask; i++) {
                struct page *page = rx_queue->page_ring[i];

. Best regards,
