The len variable, used in the computation of max_pkt_len could
overflow, if used to store the result of the following computation:

rxq->rx_buf_len * IAVF_MAX_CHAINED_RX_BUFFERS

Since, we could define the mbuf size to have a large value (i.e 13312),
and IAVF_MAX_CHAINED_RX_BUFFERS is defined as 5, the computation mentioned
above could potentially result in a value which might be bigger than MAX_USHORT.

The result will be that Jumbo Frames will not work properly

A similar fix was submitted for the ice driver
