Before, encx24j600_rx_packets did not update encx24j600_priv's next_packet member when an error occurred during packet handling (either because the packet's RSV header indicates an error or because the encx24j600_receive_packet method can't allocate an sk_buff). If the next_packet member is not updated, the ERXTAIL register will be set to the same value it had before, which means the bad packet remains in the component's memory and its RSV header will be read again when a new packet arrives. If the RSV header indicates a bad packet or if sk_buff allocation continues to fail, new packets will be stored in the component's memory until that memory is full, after which packets will be dropped. The SETPKTDEC command is always executed though, so the encx24j600 hardware has an incorrect count of the packets in its memory. To prevent this, the next_packet member should always be updated, allowing the packet to be skipped (either because it's bad, as indicated in its RSV header, or because allocating an sk_buff failed). In the allocation failure case, this does mean dropping a valid packet, but dropping the oldest packet to keep as much memory as possible available for new packets seems preferable to keeping old (but valid) packets around while dropping new ones.
