I think in wget workload you're more likely to break down 64K pages to
4K pages. Some of your calculation of mfn, offset might be wrong.

This is the maximum slots a guest packet can use. AIUI the protocol
still works on 4K granularity (you break 64K page to a bunch of 4K
pages), you don't need to change this.

You didn't change the calculation of MFN here. I think it returns the
MFN of the first 4K sub-page of that 64K page. Do I miss anything?

This function is to coalesce frag_list to a new SKB. It's completely
fine to use the natural granularity of backend domain. The way you
modified it can lead to waste of memory, i.e. you only use first 4K of a
64K page.

The true size accounts for the actual memory occupied by this SKB. Since
the page is allocated with alloc_page, the granularity should be
PAGE_SIZE not XEN_PAGE_SIZE.
