lan78xx_tx_bh() makes sure to not exceed MAX_SINGLE_PACKET_SIZE
bytes in the aggregated packets it builds, but does
nothing to prevent large GSO packets being submitted.
Pierre-Francois reported various hangs when/if TSO is enabled.
For localy generated packets, we can use netif_set_gso_max_size()
to limit the size of TSO packets.
Note that forwarded packets could still hit the issue,
so a complete fix might require implementing .ndo_features_check
for this driver, forcing a software segmentation if the size
of the TSO packet exceeds MAX_SINGLE_PACKET_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 Restructured Text 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.
