Daniel Axtens says: ==================== bnx2x: disable GSO on too-large packets We observed a case where a packet received on an ibmveth device had a GSO size of around 10kB. This was forwarded by Open vSwitch to a bnx2x device, where it caused a firmware assert. This is described in detail at [0]. Ultimately we want a fix in the core, but that is very tricky to backport. So for now, just stop the bnx2x driver from crashing. When net-next re-opens I will send the fix to the core and a revert for this. v4 changes: - fix compilation error with EXPORTs (patch 1) - only do slow test if gso_size is greater than 9000 bytes (patch 2) Thanks, Daniel [0]: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/859410/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
