From 4af4a23328cb766172c0ecb833c7fae905d18862 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 03:21:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] e1000: remove workaround for Errata 23 from jumbo alloc According to the comment, errata 23 says that the memory we allocate can't cross a 64KiB boundary. In case of jumbo frames we allocate complete pages which can never cross the 64KiB boundary because PAGE_SIZE should be a multiple of 64KiB so we stop either before the boundary or start after it but never cross it. Furthermore the check seems bogus because it looks at skb->data which is not seen by the HW at all because we only pass the DMA address of the page we allocated. So I *think* the workaround is not required here.
