Subject: [PATCH v4 2/5] vsock/virtio: reduce credit update messages
Date:   Wed, 17 Jul 2019 13:30:27 +0200
Message-Id: <20190717113030.163499-3-sgarzare@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190717113030.163499-1-sgarzare@redhat.com>
References: <20190717113030.163499-1-sgarzare@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In order to reduce the number of credit update messages,
we send them only when the space available seen by the
transmitter is less than VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE.
