This patch series contains fixes for VLAN and other backing hardware errata. The VLAN fixes are mostly to account for the additional four bytes VLAN header in TX descriptors and buffers, when applicable.
The other fixes for device errata are to pad small packets to avoid a possible connection error that can occur when some devices attempt to transmit small packets. The other fixes are GSO related. Some devices cannot handle a smaller MSS or a packet with a single segment, so disable GSO in those cases. v2: Fix style mistake (unneeded brackets) in patch 3/4 Thomas Falcon (4): ibmvnic: Account for VLAN tag in L2 Header descriptor ibmvnic: Account for VLAN header length in TX buffers ibmvnic: Pad small packets to minimum MTU size ibmvnic: Handle TSO backing device errata drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmvnic.c | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 2.12.3
