migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators"). The bug
is present in both net-next and net. Thanks
Best,
Mike

Hi,
A quick note on this patch: I have confirmed that without this
patch a kernel crash occurs if we force a 'packet too short' error
sufficiently many times. This patch eliminates the kernel crash.
Since this crash would be triggered by a hypervisor bug, I made a
small change not reflected in th
