[Saucy][PATCH 0/1] [net] hyperv: Fix the NETIF_F_SG flag setting in netvsc

[joseph.salisbury at canonical.com]

From: Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury at canonical.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1200243

== Saucy Justification ==

Upstream commit ec5f061 now causes scatter-gather to be turned on by default.  This caused a regression for Hyper-V guests, which causes the network to drop.  This is because the hv_netsvc driver does not yet support SG mode.  This patch removes the NETIF_F_SG flag from the hv_netvsc driver.

This patch has been sent for inclusion in the upstream kernel, but is not yet in the mainline tree:

    [net] hyperv: Fix the NETIF_F_SG flag setting in netvsc


== Test Case ==

A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.  The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
