PATCH 1/1 3c515: Write outside array bounds

if dev_alloc_skb() fails on the first iteration, a write to cp->rx_ring[-1] occurs.

Please review: can we error return like this?

I doubt we can return here: there is a lot of cleaning missing.

I took drivers/net/3c59x.c as an example

Is this going in the right direction?

The direction is right but a long and winding road... I guess it's for somebody with drivers knowhow. It seems most of the corkscrew_close() might be needed, including del_timer(). So, since this -1 case looks quite unlikely, it might be reasonable to only limit the most obvious damage with 'if (i != 0)' before [i - 1] write, like David advised in lmc case?

Cheers,
