Current codebase uses a constant as maximum for number of fragments one skb can hold and use. When enabling scatter/gather and running traffic with many small messages the codebase uses the maximum number of fragments and may thereby violate the max for certain devices. The patch introduces a global variable as max number of fragments. Signed-off-by: Hans Westgaard Ry Reviewed-by: Håkon Bugge Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
