From 47f753c1108e287edb3e27fad8a7511a9d55578e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tan Tee Min tee.min.tan@linux.intel.com Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 19:58:07 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: disable Split Header (SPH) for Intel platforms
Based on DesignWare Ethernet QoS datasheet, we are seeing the limitation of Split Header (SPH) feature is not supported for Ipv4 fragmented packet. This SPH limitation will cause ping failure when the packets size exceed the MTU size. For example, the issue happens once the basic ping packet size is larger than the configured MTU size and the data is lost inside the fragmented packet, replaced by zeros/corrupted values, and leads to ping fail.
So, disable the Split Header for Intel platforms.
v2: Add fixes tag in commit message.
