It depends on the negotiated features, like VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU, any guest GSO, VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF. But MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 covers all the rx scenarios. We may be able to accept smaller rx rings if for example none of the above features are negotiated. If you think that this is necessary, we can do a more complex rx check. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
