Subject: [PATCH net 1/7] be2net: Fix to prevent Tx stall on SH-R when packet size < 32
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 15:17:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130927201704.GA4511@emulex.com> (raw)
Tx on SH-R can lockup if the packet size is less than 32 bytes.
Pad such packets to a safer 36-byte size.
Patch uses the Lancer-R workaround - which checks for packet <= 32-bytes
