This patch-set has deferred virtio_net skb allocation in receiving path for both big packets and mergeable buffers. It reduces skb pre-allocations and skb frees. This patch-set also add a new API detach_unused_bufs in virtio. Recv skb queue has been removed in virtio_net. It is based on previous Rusty and Michaels' review, patch has split into two:
[PATCH 1/2] virtio: Add detach unused buffer from vring [PATCH 2/2] virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path I copied Rusty's comment as [PATCH 1/2] commit message. This patch is built against Dave's net-next tree.
