From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
Arjun reported a bug in TCP stack and bisected it to a recent commit.
In case where we process SACK, we can coalesce multiple skbs
into fat ones (tcp_shift_skb_data()), to lower write queue
overhead, because we do not expect to retransmit these packets.
However, SACK reneging can happen, forcing the sender to retransmit
all these packets. If skb->len is above 64KB, we then send buggy
IP packets that could hang TSO engine on cxgb4.
Neal suggested to use tcp_tso_autosize() instead of tp->gso_segs
so that we cook packets of optimal size vs TCP/pacing.
Thanks to Arjun for reporting the bug and running the tests !
Fixes: 10d3be569243 ("tcp-tso: do not split TSO packets at retransmit time")
