Re: [PATCH net-next] hyperv: Increase the buffer length for netvsc_channel_cb()

When the buffer is too small for a packet from VMBus, a bigger buffer will be
allocated in netvsc_channel_cb() and retry reading the packet from VMBus.
Increasing this buffer size will reduce the retry overhead.

I'm not applying this, sorry.

I said that because the structure that contains this buffer is now
larger than a page, you should allocate the CB buffer externally
via another kmalloc() or via the page allocator.
