Hi there,
There is a bug in linux bridge code, causing TSO not to work.
MTU oversize packets silently dropped in br_dev_queue_push_xmit()
Locally generated TSO packets are bigger than MTU (surprise, eh)
The patch below, works for me.
Consider to apply.
David, is it OK to drop packets silently?
This drop condition isn't recorded in any of interface statistics.
Should it be?
Best wishes,
Vlad Drukker.
