Eric,

Thanks for the quick patch. It didn't help much. We still see packets larger than 65536 with the patch.

Below is the dump_stack() trace I am seeing for packets larger than 65536 in our xmit routine:

What values do you get for skb->len ?

These are the skb->len values I am hitting in t4_eth_xmit() for around half hour run of netperf bidi(800 connections total)
packet with skb->len 69570 detected
packet with skb->len 66674 detected

Ok please add :
