Previously, the TX header requirement for standard frames was ignored.
This requirement is a bitstring sent from the VIOS which maps to the
type of header information needed during TX. If no header information,
is needed then send subcrq direct can be used (which can be more
performant).
This bitstring was previously ignored for standard packets (AKA non LSO,
non CSO) due to the belief that the bitstring was over-cautionary. It
turns out that there are some configurations where the backing device
does need header information for transmission of standard packets. If
the information is not supplied then this causes continuous "Adapter
error" transport events. Therefore, this bitstring should be respected
and observed before considering the use of send subcrq direct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
