This patch contains the following linux kernel bug fix:
Description:
qeth: EDDP causes program checks on OSA devices.
Symptom:
Qeth related network devices running in EDDP mode
cause program checks on OSA devices and device
will be recovered and network stack stops sending
TSO packets.
Problem:
Under some circumstances it is possible to copy the
header data in one page since there is enough room there
and payload data into the second page. But this is not allowed
in case of elements_per_skb=1 since the total amount of elements
has been calculated first and an array has been allocated
representing the elements.
Solution:
Keep all skb data (header+payload) together.
Problem-ID:
16261
