Eric Dumazet 3a0738fadf idpf: do not linearize big TSO packets 
[ Upstream commit 02614eee26 ]

idpf has a limit on number of scatter-gather frags
that can be used per segment.

Currently, idpf_tx_start() checks if the limit is hit
and forces a linearization of the whole packet.

This requires high order allocations that can fail
under memory pressure. A full size BIG-TCP packet
would require order-7 alocation on x86_64 :/

We can move the check earlier from idpf_features_check()
for TSO packets, to force GSO in this case, removing the
cost of a big copy.

This means that a linearization will eventually happen
with sizes smaller than one MSS.

__idpf_chk_linearize() is renamed to idpf_chk_tso_segment()
and moved to idpf_lib.c

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 reStructuredText 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.
