If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ivan Vecera The patch fixes a problem with dropped jumbo frames after usage of 'ethtool -G ... rx'. Scenario: 1. ip link set eth0 up 2. ethtool -G eth0 rx N # <- This zeroes rx-jumbo 3. ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth0 The ethtool command set rx_jumbo_pending to zero so any received jumbo packets are dropped and you need to use 'ethtool -G eth0 rx-jumbo N' to workaround the issue. The patch changes the logic so rx_jumbo_pending value is changed only if jumbo frames are enabled (MTU > 1500). Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera Acked-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S.
