Google production kernel has increased MAX_SKB_FRAGS to 45 for BIG-TCP rollout. Unfortunately mlx4 TX bounce buffer is not big enough whenever an skb has up to 45 page fragments. This can happen often with TCP TX zero copy, as one frag usually holds 4096 bytes of payload (order-0 page). Tested: Kernel built with MAX_SKB_FRAGS=45 ip link set dev eth0 gso_max_size 185000 netperf -t TCP_SENDFILE I made sure that "ethtool -G eth0 tx 64" was properly working, ring->full_size being set to 15.

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.
