From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> 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.
