** Description changed:

  Significant network performance degradation when using Broadcom
- BCM57800/BCM57810 (bnx2x) NICs on Ubuntu Jammy with kernels starting
- from 6.8.0-38, with the issue becoming severe and rendering the system
- unusable from 6.8.0-40 onwards.
+ BCM57800/BCM57810 (bnx2x) NICs with jumbo frames on Ubuntu Jammy with
+ kernels starting from 6.8.0-38, with the issue becoming severe and
+ rendering the system unusable from 6.8.0-40 onwards.
  
  There is a similar report here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2098961
  However, the proposed fix in that report does not resolve the issue for 
BCM57800 using the bnx2x driver.
  
  Environment:
  OS: Ubuntu 22.04(Jammy Jellyfish)
  Current HWE Kernel: 6.8.0-57.59~22.04.1
  NIC: Broadcom BCM57800 / BCM57810
  Driver: bnx2x
  
  Observed Behavior:
  Noticeable network degradation begins in kernel 6.8.0-38
  Becomes unusable in kernel 6.8.0-40 and beyond
  Still reproducible in latest HWE kernel 6.8.0-57
+ Lowering the MTU to 1500 increases performance
  
  Expected Behavior:
  Stable and performant network performance as seen in previous kernel versions
  
  Additional Notes: As mentioned in LP#2098961, the issue appears to be
  fixed in kernel 6.12.18[0].
  
  Request that this fix be backported or that further investigation be
  made into kernel regressions affecting bnx2x on these NICs.
