    [TG3]: Add TSO workaround using GSO · 52c0fd83
    Michael Chan authored
    Use GSO to workaround a rare TSO bug on some chips.  This hardware
    bug may be triggered when the TSO header size is greater than 80
    bytes.  When this condition is detected in a TSO packet, the driver
    will use GSO to segment the packet to workaround the hardware bug.
    
    Thanks to Juergen Kreileder <jk@blackdown.de> for reporting the
    problem and collecting traces to help debug the problem.
    
    And thanks to Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> for providing
    the GSO mechanism that happens to be the perfect workaround for this
    problem.
