Subject: [PATCH 0/4 net-next] ibmvnic: Fix VLAN and other device errata

This patch series contains fixes for VLAN and other backing hardware
errata. The VLAN fixes are mostly to account for the additional four
bytes VLAN header in TX descriptors and buffers, when applicable.

The other fixes for device errata are to pad small packets to avoid a
possible connection error that can occur when some devices attempt to
transmit small packets. The other fixes are GSO related. Some devices
cannot handle a smaller MSS or a packet with a single segment, so
disable GSO in those cases.

Thomas Falcon (4):
  ibmvnic: Account for VLAN tag in L2 Header descriptor
  ibmvnic: Account for VLAN header length in TX buffers
  ibmvnic: Pad small packets to minimum MTU size
  ibmvnic: Handle TSO backing device errata
