Subject: net/mlx4: Remove jumbo_remove step from TX path
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=94379a588037de77b823c325d8848d3be7d801f6;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

net/mlx4: Remove jumbo_remove step from TX path

Now that the kernel doesn't insert HBH for BIG TCP IPv6 packets, remove
unnecessary steps from the mlx4 TX path, that used to check and remove
HBH.
