====================
net: Enable Big TCP for MANA devices
Allow the max gso/gro aggregated pkt size to go up to GSO_MAX_SIZE for
MANA NIC. On Azure, this not possible without allowing the same for
netvsc NIC (as the NICs are bonded together).
Therefore, we use netif_set_tso_max_size() to set max aggregated pkt
size
to VF's tso_max_size for netvsc too, when the data path is switched over
to the VF
The first patch allows MANA to configure aggregated pkt size of up-to
GSO_MAX_SIZE
The second patch enables the same on the netvsc NIC, if the data path
for the bonded NIC is switched to the VF
---
Changes in v3
* Add ipv6_hopopt_jumbo_remove() while sending Big TCP packets
---
Changes in v2
* Instead of using 'tcp segment' throughout the patch used the words
'aggregated pkt size'

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
