> Txonly forwarding engine does not call the Tx preparation API
> before transmitting packets. This may cause some problems.
>
> TSO breaks when MSS spans more than 8 data fragments. Those
> packets will be dropped by Tx preparation API, but it will cause
> MDD event if txonly forwarding engine does not call the Tx preparation
> API before transmitting packets.
>
> We can reproduce this issue by these steps list blow on ICE and I40e.
