There is an error check inside emac_xmit_xdp_frame() function which
is called when the driver wants to transmit XDP frame, to check if
the allocated tx descriptor is NULL, if true to exit and return
ICSSG_XDP_CONSUMED implying failure in transmission.
In this case trying to free a descriptor which is NULL will result
in kernel crash due to NULL pointer dereference. Fix this error handling
and increase netdev tx_dropped stats in the caller of this function
if the function returns ICSSG_XDP_CONSUMED.

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 reStructuredText 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.
