    "content": "This patch addresses a bug introduced based on my interpretation of the\nXL710 datasheet.  Specifically section 8.4.1 states that \"A single transmit\npacket may span up to 8 buffers (up to 8 data descriptors per packet\nincluding both the header and payload buffers).\"  It then later goes on to\nsay that each segment for a TSO obeys the previous rule, however it then\nrefers to TSO header and the segment payload buffers.\n\nI believe the actual limit for fragments with TSO and a skbuff that has\npayload data in the header portion of the buffer is actually only 7\nfragments as the skb->data portion counts as 2 buffers, one for the TSO\nheader, and one for a segment payload buffer.\n\nFixes: 2d37490b82af (\"i40e/i40evf: Rewrite logic for 8 descriptor per packet check\")\nSigned-off-by: Alexander Duyck <aduyck@mirantis.com>\n---\n\nv2: I realized that I overlooked the check in the inline function and as a\n    result we were still allowing for cases where 8 descriptors were being\n    used per packet and this would result in 9 DMA buffers.  I updated the\n    code so that we only allow 8 in the case of a single send, otherwise we\n    go into the function that walks the frags to verify each block.\n\nI have tested this using rds-stress and it seems to run traffic without\nthrowing any errors.\n\n drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c   |   49 ++++++++++++-------------\n drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.h   |   10 ++++-\n drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40evf/i40e_txrx.c |   49 ++++++++++++-------------\n drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40evf/i40e_txrx.h |   10 ++++-\n 4 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-)",
