Tx on SH-R can lockup if the packet size is less than 32 bytes. Pad such packets to a safer 36-byte size. Patch uses the Lancer-R workaround - which checks for packet <= 32-bytes Signed-off-by: Ajit Khaparde <redacted> --- drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
