Hi Jason,

I was doing some more testing on this what do you think about doing this
so that free_unused_bufs() handles the buffer free with dev_kfree_skb()
instead of put_page in small receive mode. Seems more correct to me.


diff --git a/drivers/net/virtio_net.c b/drivers/net/virtio_net.c

                return false;
        else if (q < vi->curr_queue_pairs)


patch is untested just spotted doing code review.

Thanks,
John
