Some drivers in kernel could not handle packets larger than the gso
max size and they were going into a bad state when such packets
were delivered to the driver. While linux tcp stack honors the gso
max size, there are other methods in the kernel which could send
packets larger than gso max size to drivers.
To handle this, a change was added in kernel to instead segment packets
via gso to mss size before sending it to the driver through commit
24ab059d2ebd ("net: check dev->gso_max_size in gso_features_check()").
gso max size is 64k for rmnet as that is the maximum size which
hardware can support. As TCP tries to send 65k size TSO packets,
these ended up getting segmented by network stack prior to reaching
rmnet driver.
To work around this change, increase the rmnet maximum gso size to
65k. Rmnet supports segmenting such packets in SW already, so it ends
up segmenting 65k packets to ~63K + ~1K to honor the IPA 64K packet
size limitation.
