Subject: [Regression][v3.10][v3.11] net: Kill link between CSUM and SG features.

Hi Pravin,

A bug was opened against the Ubuntu kernel[0].  After a kernel bisect,
it was found that reverting the following commit resolved this bug:

commit ec5f061564238892005257c83565a0b58ec79295
Author: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@...ira.com>
Date:   Thu Mar 7 09:28:01 2013 +0000

    net: Kill link between CSUM and SG features.


The regression was introduced as of v3.10-rc1.

I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted to run this by
you.  I was thinking of requesting a revert for v3.11, but I wanted to
get your feedback first.


Thanks,

Joe
