Your patch tries to work around that by summing up the result of L2T in q->max_size steps, which gives incorrect results with MPU or overhead settings. I think we can only do two things without userspace support: - disable TSO (not a good idea) - split the skb into q->max_size chunks on dequeue The later would allow people to take full advantage of TSO with properly configured TBF, but it would still at least work with a too small mtu value. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
