[PATCH net 0/2] Prevent extreme TSO parameters from stalling TX queues

[Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>]

The following changes fix a potential DoS by peers or local users on
network interfaces using the sfc driver (and possibly others) with TSO
enabled (as it is by default).  Please apply them to the net tree and
your stable update queue.

Ben.
