The original code for __i40e_chk_linearize didn't take into account the fact that if a fragment is 16K in size or larger it has to be split over 2 descriptors and the smaller of those 2 descriptors will be on the trailing edge of the transmit. As a result we can get into situations where we didn't catch requests that could result in a Tx hang. This patch takes care of that by subtracting the length of all but the trailing edge of the stale fragment before we test for sum. By doing this we can guarantee that we have all cases covered, including the case of a fragment that spans multiple descriptors. We don't need to worry about checking the inner portions of this since 12K is the maximum aligned DMA size and that is larger than any MSS will ever be since the MTU limit for jumbos is something on the order of 9K.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
