Matt, do you fancy sending the final version? IIRC the commit message
needs to be re-written. I personally still prefer Matt's solution as
it a) make efficient use of the ring, b) uses ring pointers to
calculate slots which is most accurate, c) removes the dependence on
MAX_SKB_FRAGS in guest RX path.

Anyway, we should get this fixed ASAP.
Totally agree. This issue is easy to be reproduced with large MTU.
It is better to upstream the fix soon in case others hit it and
waste time to fix it.
I'd like to go with Xi's proposed patch that I posed earlier. The main
thing that's kept me from sending a final version is lack of time to
retest against a newer kernel.

Could someone help out with that? I probably can't get to it until the
end of the week.

I can rebase it. Since wei's NAPI &1:1 model patch went into net-next already, it should not be able to applied directly.

Thanks
Annie

Sorry for the delay. :-(
