Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH 00/13] Persistent grant maps for xen net drivers

["Yuzhou (C)" <vitas.yuzhou@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

        About rx zerocopy, I have a question:

        If some application make a socket, then listen and accept, the client 
sends packets to it, but it doesn't recv from this socket right now, all 
persistent grant page would be in used.
So other application cannot receive any packets.  Is my guess right or wrong?

Thanks a lot for the review! It does add more complexity, mainly for the TX 
path, but I also would like to mention that a portion of this changeset is also 
the persistent grants ops that could potentially live outside.
