With commit 48856286b64e ("xen/netback: shutdown the ring if it contains garbage.") a new check was added to xen-netback, which triggers for me.

Since there are bugs in ring buffer handling I tried to trigger them earlier by changing RING_IDX from u32 to u16. Now I found another one, and I wonder if the error below could potentially also hit with u32:

...

What exactly is that check in xenvif_tx_build_gops trying to achieve? Subtracting a non-zero value from zero will always create something larger than XEN_NETIF_TX_RING_SIZE.
