From 8812304cf1110ae16b0778680f6022216cf4716a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raimonds Cicans Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:52:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] r8169: Fix receive buffer length when MTU is between 1515 and 1536 In r8169 driver MTU is used to calculate receive buffer size. Receive buffer size is used to configure hardware incoming packet filter. For jumbo frames: Receive buffer size = Max frame size = MTU + 14 (ethernet header) + 4 (vlan header) + 4 (ethernet checksum) = MTU + 22 Bug: driver for all MTU up to 1536 use receive buffer size 1536 As you can see from formula, this mean all IP packets > 1536 - 22 (for vlan tagged, 1536 - 18 for not tagged) are dropped by hardware filter. Example: host_good> ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536 host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536 host_good> ping host_r8169 Ok host_good> ping -s 1500 host_r8169 Fail host_good> ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000 host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000 host_good> ping -s 1500 host_r8169 Ok Bonus: got rid of magic number 8 Signed-off-by: Raimonds Cicans Signed-off-by: David S.
