[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/netvsc: fix chimney buffer size error handling' has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/23/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/netvsc: fix chimney buffer size error handling

[ upstream commit 99e3d0e72f0bf34a39bf57d4b363730994eb5a59 ]

Fix the error handling in setting up transmit buffer.
If setting up chimney buffer fails, then it is not connected so
no need to send disconnect.

Allow for some unused area if full area is not used.

Fixes: 4e9c73e96e83 ("net/netvsc: add Hyper-V network device")
