Re: [PATCH net v2 1/2] net/ps3_gelic_net: Fix RX skbuff length

The patches didn't make it to patchwork or the lore archive.
Keep an eye for any irregularities when reposting.

Please add a Fixes tag.

Why this new line?

You can declare this as a anonymous struct:

	struct {
		unsigned int total_bytes;
		unsigned int offset;
	} a_buf;

The fixes should be minimal, please don't change prints or reformat 
the code unless it makes it a lot easier to understand.

So what did you change? This is hard to read.
Allocating ALIGN - 1 more space should be enough to align the pointer.

adding dma mapping error handling should be a separate fix
