I'm seeing problems with tunnelled traffic with Mellanox Technologies MT27710
Family [ConnectX-4 Lx] using vanilla driver from linux 4.4.y
Packets with payload bigger than 116 bytes are not exmited.
Smaller packets and normal ipv6 works fine.
In linux 4.9, 4.14 and out-of-tree driver everything seems fine for now.
It's hard to guess or bisect commit: there are a lot of changes and something
wrong with driver or swiotlb in 4.7..4.8.
4.6 is affected too - so this should be something between 4.6 and 4.9
Probably this case was fixed indirectly by adding some kind of offload and
non-offloaded path is still broken.
Please give me a hint: which commit could it be.
In 4.4 ethtool shows this:
