#1377178 — [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 53/70] net: bcmgenet: fix skb_len in bcmgenet_xmit_single()

4.2.8-ckt8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Petri Gynther <pgynther@google.com>

commit 7dd399130efb5a454daf24075b7563d197114e39 upstream.

skb_len needs to be skb_headlen(skb) in bcmgenet_xmit_single().

Fragmented skbs can have only Ethernet + IP + TCP headers (14+20+20=54 bytes)
in the linear buffer, followed by the rest in fragments. Bumping skb_len to
ETH_ZLEN would be incorrect for this case, as it would introduce garbage
between TCP header and the fragment data.

This also works with regular/non-fragmented small packets < ETH_ZLEN bytes.
Successfully tested this on GENETv3 with 42-byte ARP frames.

For testing, I used:
ethtool -K eth0 tx-checksum-ipv4 off
ethtool -K eth0 tx-checksum-ipv6 off
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
