Hello, as previously discussed [1] the mv643xx_eth driver has some issues with data corruption when using TCP segmentation offload (TSO).
The following patch set improves this situation by fixing two data corruption bugs in the TSO TX path. Before applying the patches repeatedly accessing large files located on a SMB share on my NSA325 NAS with TSO enabled resulted in different hash sums, which confirmed that data corruption is happening during file transfer. After applying the patches the hash sums were the same. As this is my first patch submission please feel free to point out any issues with the patch set.
