Subject: [NET PATCH 4/9] venet: report actual used descriptor size
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:59:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091014155906.18864.23409.stgit@dev.haskins.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091014154457.18864.28382.stgit@dev.haskins.net>

This should reduce wasted effort copying parts of the descriptor
which are not in use, since the descriptors are typically pre-allocated
to their maximum size.
