Subject[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 109/160] xen-netback: don't use last request to determine minimum Tx credit
Date
3.19.8-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

commit 0f589967a73f1f30ab4ac4dd9ce0bb399b4d6357 upstream.

The last from guest transmitted request gives no indication about the
minimum amount of credit that the guest might need to send a packet
since the last packet might have been a small one.

Instead allow for the worst case 128 KiB packet.

This is part of XSA155.
