4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0f589967a73f1f30ab4ac4dd9ce0bb399b4d6357 upstream. The last from guest transmitted request gives no indication about the minimum amount of credit that the guest might need to send a packet since the last packet might have been a small one. Instead allow for the worst case 128 KiB packet. This is part of XSA155.
