Bug 211827

I am sorry for bad text formatting, but without markdown shows me preview only wall of text.

Seems you triggered a hw issue with this chip version. Do you face the same issue with vendor driver r8168? Please also test with r8169 and latest linux-next.

Vendor driver (version 8.048.03) doesn't have this problem, works normally with MTU >= 6000.

Could you please check whether the following makes a difference?

With patch it works correctly.

note: I didn't pay attention enough and in 5.11.0+ didn't work TCP (in 5.10.0 it was UDP). But with patch UDP and TCP work.

Fixed with 6cf739131a15 ("r8169: fix jumbo packet handling on RTL8168e")
