[PATCH 2/2] vhost-net: revert vhost_exceeds_maxpend logic to its original

[PATCH 2/2] vhost-net: revert vhost_exceeds_maxpend logic to its original

[Koichiro Den]

To depend on vq.num and the usage of VHOST_MAX_PEND is not succinct
and in some case unexpected, so revert its logic part only.

Hi:

Could you explain a little bit more on the case that is was not sufficent?

Thanks

Just have another thought.

I wonder whether or not just use ulimit(memlock) is better here. It 
looks more flexible.

Thanks

It's just because vq.num could theoretically be around VHOST_MAX_PEND, that
could lead to an unexpected situation. Plus, I thought its name and usage is not
intrinsic. Its actual functioning in normal vq.num == 256 case is I think good
enough. Thanks.

It sounds a better approach, though at present I have got no idea how much
portion it should be.
