Eric Dumazet c1b444cfad net: check dev->gso_max_size in gso_features_check()
[ Upstream commit 24ab059d2ebd62fdccc43794796f6ffbabe49ebc ]

Some drivers might misbehave if TSO packets get too big.

GVE for instance uses a 16bit field in its TX descriptor,
and will do bad things if a packet is bigger than 2^16 bytes.

Linux TCP stack honors dev->gso_max_size, but there are
other ways for too big packets to reach an ndo_start_xmit()
handler : virtio_net, af_packet, GRO...

Add a generic check in gso_features_check() and fallback
to GSO when needed.

gso_max_size was added in the blamed commit.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
