Alex Ng 0ab09befdb hv_netvsc: fix send buffer failure on MTU change
If MTU is changed the host would reject the send buffer change.
This problem is result of recent change to allow changing send
buffer size.

Every time we change the MTU, we store the previous net_device section
count before destroying the buffer, but we don’t store the previous
section size. When we reinitialize the buffer, its size is calculated
by multiplying the previous count and previous size. Since we
continuously increase the MTU, the host returns us a decreasing count
value while the section size is reinitialized to 1728 bytes every
time.

This eventually leads to a condition where the calculated buf_size is
so small that the host rejects it.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
