From 6ee57bcc1e61d39c0579438055bc84087210f9b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:56:14 +1030 Subject: virtio-net: correct capacity math on ring full Capacity math on ring full is wrong: we are looking at num_sg but that might be optimistic because of indirect buffer use. The implementation also penalizes fast path with extra memory accesses for the benefit of ring full condition handling which is slow path. It's easy to query ring capacity so let's do just that. This change also makes it easier to move vnet header for tx around as follow-up patch does. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Acked-by: Michael S.
