In some circumstances, the hardware can hand us a null receive descriptor, with no data attached but otherwise valid. Unfortunately, the driver was ill-equipped to handle such an event, and would stop processing packets at that point. To fix this, use the Descriptor Done bit instead of the size to determine whether or not a descriptor is ready to be processed. Add some checks to allow for unused buffers.

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.
