[ Upstream commit a1b0e4e684e9c300b9e759b46cb7a0147e61ddff ]
There is logic to check that the RX/TPA consumer index is the expected
index to work around a hardware problem. However, the potentially bad
consumer index is first used to index into an array to reference an entry.
This can potentially crash if the bad consumer index is beyond legal
range. Improve the logic to use the consumer index for dereferencing
after the validity check and log an error message.
Fixes: fa7e28127a5a ("bnxt_en: Add workaround to detect bad opaque in rx completion (part 2)")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
