====================
Fix large frames in the Gemini ethernet driver
This is the result of a bug hunt for a problem with the
RTL8366RB DSA switch leading me wrong all over the place.
I am indebted to Vladimir Oltean who as usual pointed
out where the real problem was, many thanks!
Tryig to actually use big ("jumbo") frames on this
hardware uncovered the real bugs. Then I tested it on
the DSA switch and it indeed fixes the issue.
To make sure it also works fine with big frames on
non-DSA devices I also copied a large video file over
scp to a device with maximum frame size, the data
was transported in large TCP packets ending up in
0x7ff sized frames using software checksumming at
~2.0 MB/s.
If I set down the MTU to the standard 1500 bytes so
that hardware checksumming is used, the scp transfer
of the same file was slightly lower, ~1.8-1.9 MB/s.
Despite this not being the best test it shows that
we can now stress the hardware with large frames
and that software checksum works fine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
