[patch 31/47] virtio_net: Fix MAX_PACKET_LEN to support 802.1QVLANs

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e918085aaff34086e265f825dd469926b1aec4a4 ]

802.1Q expanded the maximum ethernet frame size by 4 bytes for the
VLAN tag.  We're not taking this into account in virtio_net, which
means the buffers we provide to the backend in the virtqueue RX ring
aren't big enough to hold a full MTU VLAN packet.  For QEMU/KVM,
this results in the backend exiting with a packet truncation error.
