Don't try to be clever, and absolutely do not adjust gso_max_segs on the fly as it was never ever designed to change dynamically and asynchronously to the code paths which use it to size outgoing TCP segments. Nothing else needs adjusting, just linearize when you run into a packet that can't fit into the TX ring because of these weird restrictions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
