If an error is encountered while mapping TX buffers, the driver should
unmap any buffers already mapped for that skb.
Because count is incremented after a successful mapping, it will always
match the correct number of unmappings needed when dma_error is reached.
Decrementing count before the while loop in dma_error causes an
off-by-one error. If any mapping was successful before an unsuccessful
mapping, exactly one DMA mapping would leak.
In these commits, a faulty while condition caused an infinite loop in
dma_error:
Commit 03b1320dfcee ("e1000e: remove use of skb_dma_map from e1000e
driver")
Commit 602c0554d7b0 ("e1000: remove use of skb_dma_map from e1000 driver")
Commit c1fa347f20f1 ("e1000/e1000e/igb/igbvf/ixgb/ixgbe: Fix tests of
unsigned in *_tx_map()") fixed the infinite loop, but introduced the
off-by-one error.
This issue may still exist in the igbvf driver, but I did not address it
in this patch.
Fixes: c1fa347f20f1 ("e1000/e1000e/igb/igbvf/ixgb/ixgbe: Fix tests of
unsigned in *_tx_map()")
