If the TX ring is congested, enetc_xdp_tx() returns false for the
current XDP frame (represented as an array of software BDs).
This array of software TX BDs is constructed in enetc_rx_swbd_to_xdp_tx_swbd
from software BDs freshly cleaned from the RX ring. The issue is that we
scrub the RX software BDs too soon, more precisely before we know that
we can enqueue the TX BDs successfully into the TX ring.
If we can't enqueue them (and enetc_xdp_tx returns false), we call
enetc_xdp_drop which attempts to recycle the buffers held by the RX
software BDs. But because we scrubbed those RX BDs already, two things
happen:
(a) we leak their memory
(b) we populate the RX software BD ring with an all-zero rx_swbd
structure, which makes the buffer refill path allocate more memory.
enetc_refill_rx_ring
-> if (unlikely(!rx_swbd->page))
-> enetc_new_page
That is a recipe for fast OOM.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
