xen/netback: avoid entering xenvif_rx_next_skb() with an empty rx queue
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 94e8100678889ab428e68acadf042de723f094b9 upstream.

xenvif_rx_next_skb() is expecting the rx queue not being empty, but
in case the loop in xenvif_rx_action() is doing multiple iterations,
the availability of another skb in the rx queue is not being checked.

This can lead to crashes:

Fix that by stopping the loop in case the rx queue becomes empty.
