Subject: [PATCH 3/3] pch_gbe: vlan skb len fix
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:01:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120726160117.GD10287@telcoserv5> (raw)


pch_gbe_xmit_frame skb->len verification was incorrect in vlan case 
causing bogus transfer length errors.  One correction could be:
    offset = skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_8021Q) ? 0 : 4;
    if (unlikely(skb->len > (adapter->hw.mac.max_frame_size - offset))) 
However, this verification is not necessary, so remove it.
