From 0a888fd1f6320d1d9318c58de9bca3cef41546d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark McLoughlin Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:39:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Recycle some more rx buffer pages Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should recycle the pages allocated in this case. A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually caused a barely measurable slowdown.
