xen/netfront: improve truesize tracking
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.

* Truesize approximates the size of true data plus

* overheads has been shown to significantly reduce

* buffer size. It is therefore not wise to account
* for it here.
*
* After alloc_skb(RX_COPY_THRESHOLD), truesize is set
* to RX_COPY_THRESHOLD + the supervisor
* overheads. Here, we add the size of the data pulled
* in xennet_fill_frags().
*
* We also adjust for any unused space in the main
* data area by subtracting (RX_COPY_THRESHOLD -
* len). This is especially important with drivers
* which split incoming packets into header and data,
* using only 66 bytes of the main data area (see the
* e1000 driver for example.) On such systems,
* without this last adjustement, our achievable
* receive throughout using the standard receive
* buffer size was cut by 25%(!!!).
