> Subject: [PATCH 3/4] virtio: use indirect ring elements
>
> The virtio ring in QEMU/KVM is usually limited to 256 entries and the normal
> way that virtio driver was queuing mbufs required nsegs + 1 ring elements.
> By using the indirect ring element feature if available, each packet will take
> only one ring slot even for multi-segment packets.

Do we also need implement indirect ring elements for RX path?

Do we need check if seg_num > VIRTIO_MAX_TX_INDIRECT?
That mean one slot is not enough for the whole big packet even it is indirect
ring.
