Hi, Maybe I'm misreading it, but it seems to me that netfront doesn't slice up the linear buffer at all, just blindly sends it. In xennet_start_xmit: unsigned int offset = offset_in_page(data); unsigned int len = skb_headlen(skb); ... tx->offset = offset; tx->size = len; Although in the slot

We have a 64 bit PV DomU that we recently upgraded from linux 3.3.2 to 3.17.3 running on a 64 bit 3.17.3 Dom0 with Xen 4.4.0. Shortly after the upgrade we started to lose network connectivity to the DomU a few times a day that required a reboot to fix. We see nothing in the xen logs or xl dmesg, b
