Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] netvsc: resize event buffer as needed
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 08:51:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180813155108.6460-3-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180813155108.6460-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

The event buffer was changed to be a fixed size value, but it
is not large enough for a forwarding stress test.

This version of event buffer code uses malloc/realloc to size
the event buffer as needed. Malloc is preferred over rte_malloc
because the event buffer does not need to be used for DMA
and huge page is a limited resource.

Fixes: 530af95a7849 ("bus/vmbus: avoid signalling host on read")
