From 93591aaa62f89820f4ae0558f01eaf9a359738da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugenia Emantayev Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2014 10:24:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4_en: Pad ethernet packets smaller than 17 bytes Hardware can't accept packets smaller than 17 bytes. Therefore need to pad with zeros. Signed-off-by: Amir Vadai Signed-off-by: Eugenia Emantayev Signed-off-by: David S.
