    net: allow gso_max_size to exceed 65536 · 7c4e983c
    Alexander Duyck authored
    The code for gso_max_size was added originally to allow for debugging and
    workaround of buggy devices that couldn't support TSO with blocks 64K in
    size. The original reason for limiting it to 64K was because that was the
    existing limits of IPv4 and non-jumbogram IPv6 length fields.
    
    With the addition of Big TCP we can remove this limit and allow the value
    to potentially go up to UINT_MAX and instead be limited by the tso_max_size
    value.
    
    So in order to support this we need to go through and clean up the
    remaining users of the gso_max_size value so that the values will cap at
    64K for non-TCPv6 flows. In addition we can clean up the GSO_MAX_SIZE value
    so that 64K becomes GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE and UINT_MAX will now be the upper
    limit for GSO_MAX_SIZE.
    
    v6: (edumazet) fixed a compile error if CONFIG_IPV6=n,
                   in a new sk_trim_gso_size() helper.
                   netif_set_tso_max_size() caps the requested TSO size
                   with GSO_MAX_SIZE.
