[ Upstream commit 881d0327 ] Note: This is a verified backported patch for stable 4.4 kernel, and it could also be applied to 4.3/4.2/4.1/3.18/3.16 There is a problem with alx devices, that the network link will be lost in 1-5 minutes after the device is up. >From debugging without datasheet, we found the error always happen when the DMA RX address is set to 0x....fc0, which is very likely to be a HW/silicon problem. This patch will apply rx skb with 64 bytes longer space, and if the allocated skb has a 0x...fc0 address, it will use skb_resever(skb, 64) to advance the address, so that the RX overflow can be avoided.
