These drivers use 9100-byte receive buffers, thus allocating an skb requires

and reused the old buffer; however, the new version introduced a bug in that
it released the old buffer before trying to allocate a new one. The previous
method is implemented here.

V2 - Fixes an error in the logic of V1. Realtek is working on a change to
the RX buffer allocation, but that is likely to be too invasive for
a fix to -rc or stable. In the meantime, this will help.
23/23? Where are patches 1-22? I don't see them in patchwork:

Sorry. I forgot to edit the subject line. To get git to format that one patch, I
had to generate a total of 23. There is only 1 of 1 that will be submitted.
