From c92aaff18e0a48f693678105343160e0bd032dfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 23:22:00 +0000 Subject: sfc: Reverse initial buffer table allocation to allow for later resizing We have a very simple way of allocating buffer table entries to queues, which is just to take the next one available. The extra channels are the highest numbered channels but they need to be allocated the lowest entries so that the traffic channels can be allocated new entries without any collisions.
