From 0f589967a73f1f30ab4ac4dd9ce0bb399b4d6357 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vrabel Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:16:01 +0000 Subject: xen-netback: don't use last request to determine minimum Tx credit 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.
