Subject: [34-longterm 227/247] udp: Fix bogus UFO packet generation

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 26cde9f7e2747b6d254b704594eed87ab959afa5 upstream.

It has been reported that the new UFO software fallback path
fails under certain conditions with NFS.  I tracked the problem
down to the generation of UFO packets that are smaller than the
MTU.  The software fallback path simply discards these packets.

This patch fixes the problem by not generating such packets on
the UFO path.
