> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v3] igb: cope with large MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
>
> From: Paolo Abeni <[email protected]>
>
> 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.
>
> An easy reproducer is to run ssh to connect to the machine.  With
> MAX_SKB_FRAGS=17 it works, with MAX_SKB_FRAGS=45 it fails.
>
> 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.
>
> Fixes: 3948b05950fd ("net: introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS")
