Subject: [net-next v2 09/10] i40e: Limit TX descriptor count in cases where frag size is greater than 16K

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

The i40e driver was incorrectly assuming that we would always be pulling
no more than 1 descriptor from each fragment.  It is in fact possible for
us to end up with the case where 2 descriptors worth of data may be pulled
when a frame is larger than one of the pieces generated when aligning the
payload to either 4K or pieces smaller than 16K.

To adjust for this we just need to make certain to test all the way to the
end of the fragments as it is possible for us to span 2 descriptors in the
block before us so we need to guarantee that even the last 6 descriptors
have enough data to fill a full frame.
