Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: airoha: Fix memory leak in airoha_qdma_rx_process()

If an error occurs on the subsequents buffers belonging to the

non-linear part of the skb (e.g. due to an error in the payload length

reported by the NIC or if we consumed all the available fragments for

the skb), the page_pool fragment will not be linked to the skb so it will

not return to the pool in the airoha_qdma_rx_process() error path. Fix the

memory leak partially reverting commit 'd6d2b0e1538d ("net: airoha: Fix

page recycling in airoha_qdma_rx_process()")' and always running

page_pool_put_full_page routine in the airoha_qdma_rx_process() error

path.
