The SONIC can sometimes advance its rx buffer pointer (RRP register)
without advancing its rx descriptor pointer (CRDA register). As a result
the index of the current rx descriptor may not equal that of the current
rx buffer. The driver mistakenly assumes that they are always equal.
This assumption leads to incorrect packet lengths and possible packet
duplication. Avoid this by calling a new function to locate the buffer
corresponding to a given descriptor.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
