I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these

vmxnet3: cap copy length at size of skb to prevent dropped frames on tx

I was recently shown that vmxnet3 devices on transmit, will drop very small udp
frames consistently. This is due to a regression introduced by commit
39d4a96fd7d2926e46151adbd18b810aeeea8ec0. This commit attempts to introduce an
optimization to the tx path, indicating that the underlying hardware behaves
optimally when at least 54 bytes of header data are available for direct access.
This causes problems however, if the entire frame is less than 54 bytes long.
The subsequent pskb_may_pull in vmxnet3_parse_and_copy_hdr fails, causing an
error return code, which leads to vmxnet3_tq_xmit dropping the frame.

Fix it by placing a cap on the copy length. For frames longer than 54 bytes, we
do the pull as we normally would. If the frame is shorter than that, copy the
whole frame, but no more. This ensures that we still get the optimization for
qualifying frames, but don't do any damange for frames that are too short.

Also, since I'm unable to do this, it wuold be great if vmware could follow up
this patch with some additional code commentary as to why 54 bytes is an optimal
pull length for a virtual NIC driver. The comment that introduced this was
vague on that. Thanks!

don't even see vlans for which a filter was previously created.

vmxnet3: fix starving rx ring whenoc_skb kb fails

If the rx ring is completely empty, then the device may never fire an rx

rx ring with fresh buffers, so this will cause networking to lock up.

This patch replenishes the skb in recv descriptor as soon as it is
peeled off while processing rx completions. If the skb/buffer
allocation fails, existing one is recycled and the packet in hand is
dropped. This way none of the RX desc is ever left empty, thus avoiding
starvation

vmxnet3: Enable GRO support.

When receiving packets from another guest on the same hypervisor, it's
generally possible to receive large packets because no segmentation is
necessary and these packets are handled by LRO. However, when doing
routing or bridging we must disable LRO and lose this benefit. In
these cases GRO can still be used and it is very effective because the
packets which are segmented in the hypervisor are received very close
together and can easily be merged.
