From 8227e9901ded28d071f20313238e91e71d6bfdce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Reddy Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2015 03:47:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] be2net: pad skb to meet minimum TX pkt size in BE3 On BE3 chips in SRIOV configs, the TX path stalls when a packet less than 32B is received from the host. A workaround to pad such packets already exists for the Skyhawk and Lancer chips. Use the same workaround for BE3 chips too.
