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.

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.
