New Revision: 338489
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/338489

Log:
  Maximum number of mbuf frags is off-by-one for worst case scenario in mlx5en(4).
  
  Inspecting the PRM no more than 0x3F data segments, DS, of size 16 bytes is
  allowed.
  
  Worst case scenario summary of DS usage:
  Header is fixed:	2 DS
  Maximum inlining:	98 => (98 - 2) / 16 = 6 DS
  Remainder:		0x3F - 2 - 6 = 55 DS (mbuf frags)
  
  Previously a value of 56 DS was used and this would work in the
  normal case because not all inline data area was used up.
