Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen/netfront: handle compound page fragments on transmit

[Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aside from Jans comments about error handling, I tried below patch and it seems
to solve the problem with transfers out of the domU for me (though only shallow
testing done, otoh 5 times is more than getting stuck the first time).
