fwiw, I was not able to reproduce this tx issue with iperf/netperf
etc either (I tried various perumtations of bidir, req-resp etc). One
difference between the rds-stress invocation and the other callers
is that this comes down via tcp_sendpage(), I dont know if there
is something in the sendpage path that i40e does not anticipate.
Other drivers (ixgbe etc) work fine, so my hunch would be that this
is specific to i40e (and not a skb_linearize bug) but I could be
wrong.
