: Make eth_type_trans set skb->dev like the other *_type_trans

Hi Santosh. This one is very old...

The patch 4c13eb6657fe: "[ETH]: Make eth_type_trans set skb->dev like the other *_type_trans" from Apr 25, 2007, leads to the following static checker warning:

	drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/sge.c:2087 rx_eth()
	error: buffer overflow 'adap->port' 2 <= 15 user_rl='0-15'

  2079  static void rx_eth(struct adapter *adap, struct sge_rspq *rq,
  2080                     struct sk_buff *skb, int pad, int lro)
  2081  {
  2082          struct cpl_rx_pkt *p = (struct cpl_rx_pkt *)(skb->data + pad);
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Smatch always distruts skb->data.

2083 struct sge_qset *qs = rspq_to_qset(rq);
2084 struct port_info *pi;
2085
2086 skb_pull(skb, sizeof(*p) + pad);

  2087          skb->protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, adap->port[p->iff]);
                                                               ^^^^^^

How do we know this doesn't is within bounds?

  2088          pi = netdev_priv(skb->dev);
  2089          if ((skb->dev->features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM) && p->csum_valid &&
  2090              p->csum = htons(0xffff) && !p->fragment) {
  2091                  qs->port_stats[SGE_PSTAT_RX_CSUM_GOOD]++;
  2092                  skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;
  2093          } else
  2094                  skb_checksum_none_assert(skb);
  2095          skb_record_rx_queue(skb, qs - &adap->sge.qs[pi->first_qset]);
  2096  
  2097          if (p->vlan_valid) {
  2098                  qs->port_stats[SGE_PSTAT_VLANEX]++;
  2099                  __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, htons(ETH_P_8021Q), ntohs(p->vlan));
  2100          }
