Subject: [PATCH 028/105] xen-netback: better names for thresholds
3.8.13.4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@...rix.com>
commit 376414945d15aa636e65f7e773c1e398b7a21cb9 upstream.
This patch only changes some names to avoid confusion.
In this patch we have:
MAX_SKB_SLOTS_DEFAULT -> FATAL_SKB_SLOTS_DEFAULT
max_skb_slots -> fatal_skb_slots
#define XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX XEN_NETIF_NR_SLOTS_MIN
The fatal_skb_slots is the threshold to determine whether a packet is
malicious.
XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX is the maximum slots a valid packet can have at
this point. It is defined to be XEN_NETIF_NR_SLOTS_MIN because that's
guaranteed to be supported by all backends.
