Re: [PATCH net v3 2/3] net: stmmac: Consider Tx VLAN offload tag length for maxSDU

["G Thomas, Rohan" <rohan.g.thomas@altera.com>]

Hi All,

I've noticed one more issue with this commit. Need to drop the packet
before inserting the context descriptor with VLAN. So I think I have to
keep the max_sdu check in the original place itself, but add VLAN length 
if priv->dma_cap.vlins && skb_vlan_tag_present(skb) are true. Will 
change it accordingly in the next version.

Apologies for the oversight in the initial patch.
