Subject[PATCH 1/3] pxa168_eth: Allocate receive queue initialized to zero
Date
Zero pointer in rx_skb or tx_skb is how respective *_deinit() functions find
out that a skb slot is unallocated. If *_init() functions unsuccessfully return
after the allocation (e.g. when subsequent dma_alloc_coherent() is not
successful), this would result in attempt to kfree() invalid pointers.
