[Xen-devel] [ 103/221] xen/netfront: improve truesize tracking



3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d9a58a782e396a0f04e8445b7ba3763c8a48c7fe upstream.

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.
