[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 16/17] usb-redir: Try to keep our buffer size near the target size

[Gerd Hoffmann]

From: Hans de Goede <hdego...@redhat.com>

Before this patch we would allow the (iso) buffer to grow unlimited
(and it would under certain circumstances) leading to way too high
latencies for iso data streams.
