From aa250f1186319f1e0b9b4a1d99022fe32251b8b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2017 17:51:50 -0700 Subject: i40e/i40evf: Revert "i40e/i40evf: bump tail only in multiples of 8" This reverts commit 11f29003d6376fb123b7c3779dba49bb56fb0815. I am reverting this as I am fairly certain this can result in a memory leak when combined with the current page recycling scheme. Specifically we end up attempting to allocate fewer buffers than we recycled and this results in us rewinding the next to alloc pointer which leads to leaks when we overwrite the rx_buffer_info when processing the next frame.
