Subject: [PATCH V2] xen/netfront: improve truesize tracking
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2013 15:32:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357572726-7059-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)

Using RX_COPY_THRESHOLD is incorrect if the SKB is actually smaller
than that. We have already accounted for this in
NETFRONT_SKB_CB(skb)->pull_to so use that instead.

Fixes WARN_ON from skb_try_coalesce.
