[PATCH v3 2/7] net: moxa: fix build_skb() memory corruption

[Jonas Jensen]

DMA buffer memory must be synchronized and copied before passing skb to
napi_gro_receive(). The use of build_skb() can lead to memory corruption,
replace it with netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() and memcpy().

Notes:
    This fixes the following error on wget download (or ncftp),
    usually after only a few seconds:
    
    "read error: Bad address"
    
    On receiving this error, wget exits. The download is not resumed (busybox default).
    
    Applies to next-20140120
