When mapping a fragment fails, bgmac_dma_tx_add() unwinds with the
wrong slots. It passes the failed fragment's slot->dma_addr, which
holds the mapping error, to dma_unmap_single() for the head. The
fragment loop indexes from ring->end instead of ring->end + 1, so it
unmaps the head a second time as a page and leaves the last mapped
fragment mapped. None of the affected slots get their dma_addr cleared
either, which includes the head slot when mapping the head fails.
bgmac_dma_tx_ring_free() unmaps every slot with a non-zero dma_addr,
so tearing down the ring unmaps these addresses again. It also frees
the skbs of pending TX slots but leaves slot->skb and slot->dma_addr
set. The slots survive a down/up cycle, and bgmac_dma_tx_add() only
sets slot->skb on the last slot of a packet. If a slot with a stale
pointer is later used for the head or a fragment of a scatter/gather
packet, bgmac_dma_tx_free() frees the old skb a second time when that
slot completes.
bgmac_dma_tx_ring_free() also picks dma_unmap_single() or
dma_unmap_page() by looking at slot->skb, which is set on the last slot
of a packet, while the head was mapped with dma_map_single() and the
fragments with skb_frag_dma_map().
In the error path, unmap the head and each mapped fragment from their
own slots, and clear dma_addr on every slot the failed packet touched.
In bgmac_dma_tx_ring_free(), choose the unmap function by the SOF flag
of the descriptor like bgmac_dma_tx_free() does, unmap before freeing,
and clear both fields.
This was found through code inspection by an LLM while hitting other
bugs on an Asus RT-N16. It did not hit these ones specifically.
