xen-netback: Handle guests with too many frags
Xen network protocol had implicit dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Netback has to handle guests sending up to XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX slots. To achieve that: - create a new skb - map the leftover slots to its frags (no linear buffer here!) - chain it to the previous through skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list - map them - copy and coalesce the frags into a brand new one and send it to the stack - unmap the 2 old skb's pages It's also introduces new stat counters, which help determine how often the guest sends a packet with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags. NOTE: if bisect brought you here, you should apply the series up until "xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path", otherwise malicious guests can block other guests by not releasing their sent packets.
