Currently the NIX TX link credits are initialized based on the max frame
size that can be transmitted on a link but when the MTU is changed, the
NIX TX link credits are reprogrammed by the SW based on the new MTU value.
Since SMQ max packet length is programmed to max frame size by default,
there is a chance that NIX TX may stall while sending a max frame sized
packet on the link with insufficient credits to send the packet all at
once. This patch avoids stall issue by not changing the link credits
dynamically when the MTU is changed.

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.
