Re: [PATCH net v3 1/5] eth: fbnic: only act on Rx completions naming a posted buffer

Thanks for looking at these, and for the detailed reasoning.

You're right that the buffer IDs, offsets and lengths are values the
driver itself programs and the device echoes back, and that a healthy
device honours the headroom and placement the driver configures. The
series treated the device as untrusted, which is not the model fbnic
uses; a completion that disagrees with what software posted points at a
software/hardware state bug these checks would hide rather than fix.
I'll drop patches 1-3.

For patch 4 I missed that Daniel already fixed the same reference leak in
1c85ea5df86b ("eth: fbnic: put back netmem reference when
xdp_buff_add_frag() fails"); please drop it as well.

Sorry for the noise.
