Title:
  Severe Network Performance Regression with BCM57800/BCM57810 on Kernel
  6.8.0-40 through 6.12.16

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Significant network performance degradation when using Broadcom
  BCM57800/BCM57810 (bnx2x) NICs with jumbo frames on Ubuntu Jammy with
  kernels starting from 6.8.0-38, with the issue becoming severe and
  rendering the system unusable from 6.8.0-40 onwards.

  There is a similar report here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2098961
  However, the proposed fix in that report does not resolve the issue for 
BCM57800 using the bnx2x driver.

  Environment:
  OS: Ubuntu 22.04(Jammy Jellyfish)
  Current HWE Kernel: 6.8.0-57.59~22.04.1
  NIC: Broadcom BCM57800 / BCM57810
  Driver: bnx2x

  Observed Behavior:
  Noticeable network degradation begins in kernel 6.8.0-38
  Becomes unusable in kernel 6.8.0-40 and beyond
  Still reproducible in latest HWE kernel 6.8.0-57
  Lowering the MTU to 1500 increases performance

  Expected Behavior:
  Stable and performant network performance as seen in previous kernel versions

  Additional Notes: As mentioned in LP#2098961, the issue appears to be
  fixed in kernel 6.12.17[0].

  Request that this fix be backported or that further investigation be
  made into kernel regressions affecting bnx2x on these NICs.
