bnx2x: disable GSO on too-large packets
We observed a case where a packet received on an ibmveth device had a
GSO size of around 10kB. This was forwarded by Open vSwitch to a bnx2x
device, where it caused a firmware assert. This is described in detail
at [0].
Ultimately we want a fix in the core, but that is very tricky to
backport. So for now, just stop the bnx2x driver from crashing.
When net-next re-opens I will send the fix to the core and a revert
for this.
v4 changes:
- fix compilation error with EXPORTs (patch 1)
- only do slow test if gso_size is greater than 9000 bytes (patch 2)
Thanks,
Daniel
