Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] net: bcmgenet: Fix FCS generation for fragmented skbuffs

I attach a minimal reproducible example (largely inspired by
https://github.com/OpenDataPlane/odp/blob/master/platform/linux-generic/pktio/socket_mmap.c).
It sets up the "Packet MMAP" interface to the kernel and sends a
single broadcast frame.

If payload_size (parsed from argv[2]) is smaller than 46, then

    payload_size + sizeof(struct ether_header) + sizeof(struct llc_header) < 64

and the receiver sees a runt packet (without DMA_TX_APPEND_CRC in the
last descriptor
padding to 64 bytes is not performed either). Otherwise the packet is
rejected on the
grounds of bad (actually missing) CRC.

gcc bcmgenet_mre.c
./a.out end0 40  -->  runt packet
./a.out end0 50  -->  bad CRC
