[16/20] asix: fix infinite loop in rx_fixup()

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Aurelien Jacobs <aurel@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6c15d74defd38e7e7f8805392578b7a1d508097e upstream.

At this point if skb->len happens to be 2, the subsequant skb_pull(skb, 4)
call won't work and the skb->len won't be decreased and won't ever reach 0,
resulting in an infinite loop.

With an ASIX 88772 under heavy load, without this patch, rx_fixup() reaches
an infinite loop in less than a minute. With this patch applied,
no infinite loop even after hours of heavy load.
