Well, actually the driver does split large frags into frags of VMXNET3_MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE bytes each.
vmxnet3_drv.c 711 while (len) { 712 u32 buf_size; 713 714 if (len < VMXNET3_MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE) { 715 buf_size = len; 716 dw2 |= len; 717 } else { 718 buf_size = VMXNET3_MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE; 719 /* spec says that for TxDesc.len, 0 == 2^14 */ 720 } 721 .... 743 744 len -= buf_size; 745 buf_offset += buf_size; 746 } ----- Original Message ----- > Eric, thanks for the note.
