Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 05/11] net/mlx5e: Remove jumbo_remove step from TX path
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 23:26:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113212655.116122-6-alice.kernel@fastmail.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260113212655.116122-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im>
From: Alice Mikityanska <alice@isovalent.com>
Now that the kernel doesn't insert HBH for BIG TCP IPv6 packets, remove
unnecessary steps from the mlx5e and mlx5i TX path, that used to check
and remove HBH.
