We just had an internal discussion and found that updating the macro definition is the simplest 
and most straightforward solution, as shown below. With this change, the above modifications 
are no longer necessary.

-#define        OPT_FRAME_SIZE  (PKT_MAXBUF_SIZE << 16)
+#define        OPT_FRAME_SIZE  (fep->max_buf_size << 16)
 #else
 #define        OPT_FRAME_SIZE  0

Thanks,
Shenwei
