Yes, that behavior is clear to me, but even if I send
a 100MB file using scp, I do not see large packets in
my driver. I only get a lot of packets with
tso_size == MTU size - TCP/IP header size.
And there shouldn't be a problem with the connection
itself. I'm using a virtual connection on a zSeries
mainframe with about 10Gpbs throughput.

Ok, I got that point. The patch is really useless ;-)
I guess I was looking for anything to overcome my
problem; sorry ;-)
