[PATCH v3 0/2] bnx2x: disable GSO on too-large packets

[Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net>]

We observed a case where a packet received on an ibmveth device had a
GSO size of around 10kB. This was forwarded by Open vSwitch to a bnx2x
device, where it caused a firmware assert. This is described in detail
at [0].

Ultimately we want a fix in the core, but that is very tricky to
backport. So for now, just stop the bnx2x driver from crashing.

When net-next re-opens I will send the fix to the core and a revert
for this.

Marcelo: I have left renaming skb_gso_validate_mtu() for the
next series.

Thanks,
Daniel
