Subject: netxen: limit skb frags for non tso packet
From: amit salecha <[email protected]>
commit c968bdf6912cad6d0fc63d7037cc1c870604a808 upstream.
Machines are getting deadlock in four node cluster environment.
All nodes are accessing (find /gfs2 -depth -print|cpio -ocv > /dev/null)
200 GB storage on a GFS2 filesystem.
This result in memory fragmentation and driver receives 18 frags for
1448 byte packets.
For non tso packet, fw drops the tx request, if it has >14 frags.
Fixing it by pulling extra frags.
