[PATCH 3.16 28/55] tg3: Allow for recieve of full-size 8021AD frames

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Oct 12 2014 - 22:29:22 EST


3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevich@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7d3083ee36b51e425b6abd76778a2046906b0fd3 ]

When receiving a vlan-tagged frame that still contains
a vlan header, the length of the packet will be greater
then MTU+ETH_HLEN since it will account of the extra
vlan header. TG3 checks this for the case for 802.1Q,
but not for 802.1ad. As a result, full sized 802.1ad
frames get dropped by the card.

Add a check for 802.1ad protocol when receving full
sized frames.
