Creating SKB per tls record and freeing the original one causes
panic. There will be race if connection reset is requested. By
freeing original skb, refcnt will be decremented and that means,
there is no pending record to send, and so tls_dev_del will be
requested in control path while SKB of related connection is in
queue.
Better approach is to use same SKB to send one record (partial
data) at a time. We still have to create a new SKB when partial
last part of a record is requested.
This fix introduces new API cxgb4_write_partial_sgl() to send
partial part of skb. Present cxgb4_write_sgl can only provide
feasibility to start from an offset which limits to header only
and it can write sgls for the whole skb len. But this new API
will help in both. It can start from any offset and can end
writing in middle of the skb.

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.
