3.8.13.24 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@redhat.com>
commit ba67b510035141bd89b40bf65efa0a79834311ca upstream.
The patch fixes a problem with dropped jumbo frames after usage of 'ethtool -G ... rx'.
Scenario: 1. ip link set eth0 up 2. ethtool -G eth0 rx N # <- This zeroes rx-jumbo 3. ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth0
The ethtool command set rx_jumbo_pending to zero so any received jumbo packets are dropped and you need to use 'ethtool -G eth0 rx-jumbo N' to workaround the issue. The patch changes the logic so rx_jumbo_pending value is changed only if jumbo frames are enabled (MTU > 1500).
