r8169: Fix receive buffer length when MTU is between 1515 and 1536
In r8169 driver MTU is used to calculate receive buffer size.
Receive buffer size is used to configure hardware incoming packet filter.
For jumbo frames:
Receive buffer size = Max frame size = MTU + 14 (ethernet header) + 4
(vlan header) + 4 (ethernet checksum) = MTU + 22
Bug:
driver for all MTU up to 1536 use receive buffer size 1536
As you can see from formula, this mean all IP packets > 1536 - 22
(for vlan tagged, 1536 - 18 for not tagged) are dropped by hardware
filter.
Example:
host_good> ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536
host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536
host_good> ping host_r8169
Ok
host_good> ping -s 1500 host_r8169
Fail
host_good> ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000
host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000
host_good> ping -s 1500 host_r8169
Ok
Bonus: got rid of magic number 8
