My last method which I mentioned yesterday is similar to this one. The difference is that I would re-use the rx buffers, so I have to add them to the list for re-submitting, not alwayes allocate new one. Although one rx buffer could contain many packets, I don't think the whole size of the rx buffer is alwayes used. Therefore, I re-use the rx buffers to avoid allocating the 16K bytes rx buffer alwayes. This also makes sure that I always have the buffers to submit without allocating new one. If you could accept this, I would modify this patch by this way.
