[PATCH 3.14 08/23] xen-netback: BUG_ON in xenvif_rx_action() not catching overflow

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Durrant <Paul.Durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1425c7a4e8d3d2eebf308bcbdc3fa3c1247686b4 ]

The BUG_ON to catch ring overflow in xenvif_rx_action() makes the assumption
that meta_slots_used == ring slots used. This is not necessarily the case
for GSO packets, because the non-prefix GSO protocol consumes one more ring
slot than meta-slot for the 'extra_info'. This patch changes the test to
actually check ring slots.
