tg3: Clear NETIF_F_TSO6 flag before doing software GSO
Commit d3f6f3a1d818410c17445bce4f4caab52eb102f1 ("tg3: Prevent page allocation failure during TSO workaround") modified driver logic to use tg3_tso_bug() for any TSO fragment that hits hardware bug conditions thus the patch increased the scope of work for tg3_tso_bug() to cover devices that support NETIF_F_TSO6 as well. Prior to the patch, tg3_tso_bug() would only be used on devices supporting NETIF_F_TSO. A regression was introduced for IPv6 packets requiring the workaround. To properly perform GSO on SKBs with TCPV6 gso_type, we need to call skb_gso_segment() with NETIF_F_TSO6 feature flag cleared, or the function will return NULL and cause a kernel oops as tg3 is not handling a NULL return value. This patch fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Prashant Sreedharan <prashant@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
