Subject: [PATCH net v2]tg3: Clear NETIF_F_TSO6 flag before doing software GSO
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:53:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1403142837-22996-1-git-send-email-prashant@broadcom.com> (raw)

Commit d3f6f3a1d818410c17445bce4f4caab52eb102f1 "tg3: Prevent page
allocation failure during TSO workaround" modified driver logic
to use tg3_tso_bug() for any TSO fragment that hits hardware bug
conditions thus the patch increased the scope of work for tg3_tso_bug()
to cover devices that support NETIF_F_TSO6 as well. Prior to the
patch, tg3_tso_bug() would only be used on devices supporting
NETIF_F_TSO.

A regression was introduced for IPv6 packets requiring the workaround.
To properly perform GSO on SKBs with TCPV6 gso_type, we need to call
skb_gso_segment() with NETIF_F_TSO6 feature flag cleared, or the
function will return NULL and cause a kernel oops as tg3 is not handling
a NULL return value. This patch fixes the problem.

Fixed Indentation.
