In tg3_set_ringparam(), the tx_pending test to cover the cases where
tg3_tso_bug() is entered has two problems
1) the check is only done for certain hardware whereas the workaround
is now used more broadly. IOW, the check may not be performed when it
is needed.
2) the check is too optimistic.
For example, with a 5761 (SHORT_DMA_BUG), tg3_set_ringparam() skips over the
"tx_pending <= (MAX_SKB_FRAGS * 3)" check because TSO_BUG is false. Even if it
did do the check, with a full sized skb, frag_cnt_est = 135 but the check is
for <= MAX_SKB_FRAGS * 3 (= 17 * 3 = 51). So the check is insufficient. This
leads to the following situation: by setting, ex. tx_pending = 100, there can
be an skb that triggers tg3_tso_bug() and that is large enough to cause
tg3_tso_bug() to stop the queue even when it is empty. We then end up with a
netdev watchdog transmit timeout.
Given that 1) some of the conditions tested for in tg3_tx_frag_set() apply
regardless of the chipset flags and that 2) it is difficult to estimate ahead
of time the max possible number of frames that a large skb may be split into
by gso, we instead take the approach of adjusting dev->gso_max_segs according
to the requested tx_pending size.
This puts us in the exceptional situation that a single skb that triggers
tg3_tso_bug() may require the entire tx ring. Usually the tx queue is woken up
when at least a quarter of it is available (TG3_TX_WAKEUP_THRESH) but that
would be insufficient now. To avoid useless wakeups, the tx queue wake up
threshold is made dynamic.

I reproduced this bug using the same approach explained in patch 1.
The bug reproduces with tx_pending <= 135
