Since the skb is attached to the first control block of a fragmented
skb it is possible that the skb could be freed when reclaiming that
control block before all fragments of the skb have been consumed by
the hardware and unmapped.
This commit introduces first_cb and last_cb pointers to the skb
control block used by the driver to keep track of which transmit
control blocks within a transmit ring are the first and last ones
associated with the skb.
It then splits the bcmgenet_free_cb() function into transmit
(bcmgenet_free_tx_cb) and receive (bcmgenet_free_rx_cb) versions
that can handle the unmapping of dma mapped memory and cleaning up
the corresponding control block structure so that the skb is only
freed after the last associated transmit control block is reclaimed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
