ice, xsk: clear the status bits for the next_to_use descriptor
On the Rx side, the next_to_use index points to the next item in the HW ring to be refilled/allocated, and next_to_clean points to the next item to potentially be processed. When the HW Rx ring is fully refilled, i.e. no packets has been processed, the next_to_use will be next_to_clean - 1. When the ring is fully processed next_to_clean will be equal to next_to_use. The latter case is where a bug is triggered. If the next_to_use bits are not cleared, and the "fully processed" state is entered, a stale descriptor can be processed. The skb-path correctly clear the status bit for the next_to_use descriptor, but the AF_XDP zero-copy path did not do that. This change adds the status bits clearing of the next_to_use descriptor.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
