[PATCH v2] virtio_net: lower limit on buffer size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



commit d85b758f72b0 ("virtio_net: fix support for small rings")
was supposed to increase the buffer size for small rings but had an
unintentional side effect of decreasing it for large rings. This seems
to break some setups - it's not yet clear why, but increasing buffer
size back to what it was before helps.
