It’d be great if you removed the trailing dot/period in the commit message summary.

Sabrina reports that the igb driver does not cope well with large
MAX_SKB_FRAG values: setting MAX_SKB_FRAG to 45 causes payload
corruption on TX.

The root cause of the issue is that the driver does not take into
account properly the (possibly large) shared info size when selecting
the ring layout, and will try to fit two packets inside the same 4K
page even when the 1st fraglist will trump over the 2nd head.

Address the issue forcing the driver to fit a single packet per page,
leaving there enough room to store the (currently) largest possible
skb_shared_info.

If you have a reproducer for this, it’d be great if you could document it in the commit message.

Fixes: 3948b05950fd ("net: introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAG")
